Even more convinced that I don’t like campsites!

Reminds me of when we were kids, shooting the neighbour's pegs off her washing line with a 177

When I was a kid Chris, we had an elderly neighbour who used to feed hedgehogs in the garden with bread and milk on an enamel plate.

At the time, I had a paratrooper 177 repeater air rifle. I would wait until she bent down to pick the plate up, and shoot it so it pinged away from her hand. Me and my brother would do this several times so that she ended up chasing the plate around the garden.

Highly dangerous I know, but the puzzled look on her face was priceless.

I really was a little sh** when I was a kid!
 
My best was firing live matches at anything that would burn, until I set fire to the back hedge and was relieved of my weapon :(
 
It never ceases to amaze me just how many things that really don't matter will have some people moaning.

On the odd occasion I am reluctantly forced to stay on a campsite (usually because SWMBO wants to do some washing). Tonight we are on the C & MC site in Edinburgh as our daughter lives in Stockbridge and this is a convenient place to stay when we visit her. As sites go this is ok but just a few pitches away is some k**b in a caravan with a 20ft pole adorned with flags. What is worse however is that the whole thing is wrapped from top to bottom in bright colour changing led lights, even at gone 11pm. What on earth possesses people to make such an exhibition of themselves? If I had my way these sort of flagpoles should be banned!

Already mentioned the lights are the grey water of the caravan world and mixed views some sites are imposing switch em off after10 pm etc

A comment I did read and seems valid ? ......Is if turning up on a site and erecting a tribute to Blackpool tower ,,its good fun and harmless BUT not that much fun and dangerous to other people who maybe photo sensitive epileptics.

I must admit I have a flag pole but no lights on it ,and it is only used on meets and Rally's and only for flying the WC or Motorhomer flag , so I think I am in the clear :rulez:

Me too, although mine's not as big as Jeffs :dog:
 
I have to confess to adorning the whole of our garden fence with solar powered coloured lights and another dozen or so solar lights in the garden that change colour, so anybody who doesn't like lights had better not visit me. Thinking about it I might bring a string or two to the Wellington meet, just to cheer the place up, after all they are so upmarket.

Did they not know that milk kills hedge hogs,daft t-ats.
 
We do weekend club meets.
We find it fascinating to watch them lumber up , Friday night, or Saturday morning. Out comes th awning.. Hours of fun, especially if it's wet or windy. Then all the other paraphernalia is laid out . Finally the flagpoles and lights are carefully and artfully put in place.
They come on at dusk.
Then everyone goes into their vans., closes the blinds and watches TV all night.
Nobody actually sees the lights.

It's a bit like these geniuses who have a tattoo on their backs... They never get to see them, either .
Fascinating.

Agreed, It never ceases to amaze me what people get hot under the collar about. Hell if we were all the same how boring would that be, lets celebrate diversity not criticise it
