Here you go sir!..... steptoe and son sink scene - YouTube

Driving along the Lincolnshire Coast yesterday, I bought a local paper (East Lindsey Target) which had the front page headline "Plan To Ban The Car Park Campers". I know that many members like to use some of these spots, so I've found a link to the article online: Plan to ban coastal car park...

After a quick search online, I've found that the first and second episodes are on next Thursday (7th March) on Quest, at 9pm and 9.30pm, then each Thursday after that.... One Man and His Campervan | Series 1 - 1. Devon | Radio Times The DVD of the series is being released at the end of...

That's also one of my favourite places on the whole planet, but now you've gone and spoiled it by telling everyone else! :( And there I was thinking that me and you could have that area to ourselves sometime, without the unwelcome attention of all the gooseberries on here!! :):):)

I think I've passed that one, but never stopped. There was a huge queue outside for a tiny chippy! Is it worth a detour next time I'm in the area? :) upton. lincs - Google Maps

'Scuse me for interrupting, but I must say that there's a lot of common-sense and wisdom on this thread. Makes me proud to be a wildcamper!! If you could all organise yourselves into some kind of party before the next election, and allocate roles, then I would vote for you! (Just need to decide...

I passed through Saxilby a few months ago, and the chippy was still there :tongue:... Saxilby Fish and Chips Saxilby Opening Times

I agree with Kimbowbill, the west coast of Scotland is the best for scenery and wilderness (although the whole of Scotland is well worth visiting!), and there are plenty of wilding spots where you can park for free. A lot of these stopping places are lay-bys or picnic sites etc., that can be...

Please don't take this the wrong way WVW, but I think you need a different knot book.... The main use of a Sheetbend (which I still think is the original name for your Sheepbend!) is to join two lines of equal or unequal thickness. It would be a very cumbersome way of shortening a line (except...

I must confess that I thought you and Sean had made a mistake with the name "sheep-bend". The original (and proper :)) name is "SHEET-bend" and comes from the days of sailing ships (sheets/sails). There is a single and a double version of it. It's also useful for tying bed-sheets together if you...

Was that in synthetic rope (nylon/terylene etc), or was it a natural fibre? The reason that we were surprised was that we'd used it for many years before the ban, with no slippage problems. Well I don't mean to brag, but I can get completely tongue-tied without using my hands at all .... does...

The reef knot is a great general purpose knot, but it was actually banned from use in UK fire brigades (since sometime in the 1990's, I think). Apparently one was being used in a critical situation when it failed and slipped open. Most of us suspected that it must have been tied wrongly, or in...

My genuine apologies if I came across as one of the whingers on here, and have spoiled anyones' day with my comments. I was really trying to defend other members, and to help prevent anyone being put off from posting their comments on the site. Sorry folks. :cry:

Another typically childish and insulting response from you. I've had a widely held reputation for being responsible, fair and mature for all of my adult life, but as the years have passed, I find I have less and less patience with so called adults who regularly display so much immaturity as you...

Well actually, yes, it is a problem. There is no need to barb your "opinions" with immature sarcasm aimed at others. In my "opinion" that can make this site an unpleasant place for many members to visit at times, and as I said in my previous post, it can discourage other members from posting...

But the OP has given their own valid reason for not naming the supplier on here. Even those that disagree with it should respect their decision, instead of repeatedly berating them for it. Too much complaining about other members choice of principles only serves to discourage them from posting...

Another likely spot for water ingress (assuming that there are no cracks in the lens or the body) is the join between the glass lens and the metal body of the headlamp unit. Of course, this "shouldn't" happen on a brand new headlamp, but depending on the price difference, it may still prove to...

It sounds like the Philips "Navigator" road atlas. It covers most of the UK at a scale of one and a half miles per inch, which is about the most detailed you can get in an atlas of the whole UK! It shows footpaths and tracks as well as farms ....... Philip s Navigator Britain UK Road Atlas...

Be aware that if you take the advice to report the first garage to VOSA for possible unfair or over zealous MOT failures, then VOSA may request an independent inspection of the vehicle. A possible outcome of this could be that they judge the SECOND garage to have been unduly lenient with their...

A Wildcamping meet at a scrappy? Now that's an idea!! :) I had a similar problem trying to find a single passenger seat for my Transit van. The odd ones that I found were either a different fitting than mine or were going for a silly price. After a few weeks of fruitless searching, I solved...
