So what did you call them ...

[QFour]

We called these two Pinky and Perky

If you talked to her it was a case of listening to everywhere they had been. Not just America BUT the Deep South. Cruises to everywhere and holidays all over the place.

I was going to ask her what the fu*k she was doing on a Spanish Campsite in a SWIFT Caravan but SWMBO told me to keep quiet.

She even had an opinion about SWIFT CARAVANS which was far from flattering as it had numerous faults, much the same as her husband she told SWMBO one day.

He was very pleasant chap.

Why Pinky and Perky well they had their caravan side on to the road and two recliners and they would sit there side by side reading and looking up every time someone so much as moved.

So who have you lot meet ...

Little Lord Fauntleroy and Hyacinth Bouquet, they thought they were the bees knees, they were so prissy about every little thing they did. For example they set up the outdoor table and two chairs, he sits there in his tweed slippers, she is busy in the caravan. Gerald she calls. Yes dear, coming dear. Over he goes to the door, she passes a silver or plated tray with teapot complete with crinoline lady tea cosy, three tier cake plate, with petit fours, triangular sandwiches and those sponge cakes with wings. There was also cup and saucers, sugar bowl and milk jug, all matching floral bone china.

We are next door, sat on £5 camp chairs, dockers wedges grasped in our mitts, eating bacon sarnies with ketchup squirting out sideways, slurping big market bought mugs of strong tea.

I'll have you know, Izzy, a lot of our WC-ers have tea in exactly the same manner, some even take their own butlers

Reading the opener of this thread it is surprising how often you meet people who seem to enjoy "competitive travel". I always reply silently in my head while smiling sweetly, my two favorites are "Last year we went to Elevenoreef" and "My grandmother has Threeburculosis". More satisfying than entering into an escalating war of more and more extreme travel experiences.

That's fat too chatty for me, just reply, marvelous and walk away.

I thought you were talking about us... Until you came to the SWIFT CARAVAN bit.

People like us, wouldn't be seen dead in a SWIFT CARAVAN.

A woman i knew slightly, didn't give her a name.
Anyways, we hadn't long had our van when she pipes up that her and hubby had bought an American RV. It was only 18 months old with very little mileage. I then got a list of what they intended to do to it, including re upholstering with cream leather,. Fine, thought I, but it wasn't just leather, it was the finest money could buy, etc, etc, you get the idea. From memory, they kept it about 4 years, 2 of which, it spent in a field, because they were " so busy" they really didn't have time to use it.

 

[1807truckman]

Hi, we didn't actually meet this person but we were camped close enough to them to here him going on for hours one evening to another English couple (who had hired a van to try before buying one) this man went on at length about how his van was exactly how every van should be, with a rear U shaped lounge and all these other bits and pieces that it had, my wife called him Mr Know Everything. Next morning I got talking to the other couple and asked how they were getting on, "Alright now we've recovered from the talking at we got last night" was the reply.

When I was in the motor trade,I sold a Citroen to a fellow called Peter Wanklyn he had been some sort of diplomat for the government in Malta,

I delivered the car and he lived in a chocolate box cottage in a small place called Wiseton in Nottinghamshire. It was snowing which made it prettier. If I had money buy a cottage there tomorrow

Anyway similar experience coffee served in a sterling silver coffee pot, cups I don't think from Asda and the sugar was in lumps brown ones, have you know concluded our business then insisted due to the weather must have a nip of brandy another performance

He then decided it was time for me to be on my way and would indulge himself in a game of chess, an early computerised affair but assured me "it was good to keep the mind active "

Our worlds so different, but a really nice man

I remember with fondness, didn't belittle me anyway and hospitable in the way he was accustomed He was a true gentleman I just wish every customer behaved that way

The daft thing is had he had problems with the car I would have moved heaven and earth to help him ..this is why I say stood in my face telling me your rights doesn't get you that far so go search your remedy....we can be different but mutual respect goes a long way

Our very first caravan was a £150.00 Swift complete with gas lighting and glass windows, and we loved it. We joined the caravan club, it was strange at first to be ostracised, (a) 'cos we didn't know what it meant and (b) but nice to be in an area bereft of these big swanky vans. It seems to be the way these days too. On the ,very, odd occasion that we use a camp site, it seems that the leviathans like to be in a clique together not conforming to the accepted way of parking, with a couple of vans taking up the space of half a dozen and making all the noise, while we mere mortals are forced to endure it and are abused for complaining . I'm not ranting-honest, but it's comforting to be part of a classless community, thanks Phil

Obviously a man of taste choosing a Citroen, little chance of any problems
