Will motorhome use resume on July 4th?

Got to be honest. I was of the same opinion re Scotland and Wales. Especially the way some full timers were treated, earlier this year. But, never is a long time

Ha ha Del I wasn’t being serious about Scotland, I love it up there out of season. Full timers got poor treatment in England initially and it continued right through in some areas. I know some who have been constantly moved, worst county seems to be Wiltshire

Never know if you’re reading exactly what the author means. ‘Spose this is the reason why we have to put lol’s and ’s in to anything we put on here. Note to self, try to find a tongue-in-cheek emoji. Not that some on here would recognise it as such.

You know I thought I had put a smiley at the end of that paragraph but just noticed it was a thumbs up. Apologies to anyone who thought I was being serious, those who know me know I love Scotland and haven’t taken the van out of the UK lol

Case in point. That sounds as if you think I’ve got the hump. No need to apologise. . This time, anyway.
You say you’ve never taken the van out of the UK. If that’s true, were is Enkand? Typotania?
Lol. Lol. Lol. Lol. Oh! Sod it. Etc.

I met my middle aged children in (the now infamous ) Barnard Castle yesterday , first time I have seen them since early March.
the Public Toilets were open . Also a caravan and car on German plates parked in a layby near the Startforth bridge ...looked like it had been there a while .Spare me the Cummins comments please ..

I saw that yesterday as well (The caravan). Didnt get the foreign plate though. Not sure if it was German. Not seen it before so maybe passing through but I did wonder how the hell it got there. Maybe Cummings has brought international fame to the town. There has certainly been a huge influx of visitors since his appearance.

I believe faeces are usually infected if someone has covid. Flushing a toilet makes an aerosol of droplets which could permeate the room like a sneeze and be breathed in, and land on surfaces. Putting the lid down before flushing is a good idea. Leaving minutes for ventilation to clear the aerosol is good, and of course washing your hands.
Properly done, wild toileting seems much safer, dig a hole 6 inches deep or deeper, away from footfall and others and 30m from water courses, bury your waste, sanitise or better wash your hands.

Should we be concerned about emptying thetfords into a sceptic tank then? I know the CL we use a lot can often get to the point where its nearly full and splash back is a real possibility. Bit unsavoury but it never crossed my mind about it potentially being dangerous.

Could change our habits. Empty on arrival when it’s all nicely broken up and pours smoothly instead of before leaving when you get all the lumpy splashy bits? Oh...too much detail.

The problem is with peoples mindset. As far as I am concerned if Scotland doesn’t want me now they won’t get me again. Same for any other areas. The good thing about a van is you can go where you want. Both France and Spain are asking you to go and lots of places in Engkand

Hope all you English drinkers have a smartphone for pubs opening next week lol

I'm not sure of the context you made this post, if it's about the continued lockdown in Scotland, then it seems very narrow minded.
p.s. Sorry have just seen your post which says it's a joke.

CV-19 is just another added 'problem', the odds on catching it from a dump station is little different to catching anything else.

I think the tank is very doubtful about it

Surely with all the chemical there can’t Be much risk .
Take our own manhole cover keys!!!

I was doing a Wintonian!

Barry typed 'sceptic' instead of 'septic'...?

Septic tanks stop working if you pour chemicals in! They rely on breakdown due to bacteria? I suspect bacteria will eat virus in a good septic tank. Disposing of chemical toilets is ok if you know that the manhole leads to a sewerage works , but not if it goes to a septic tank!! Edit or even worse it is a rainwater drain and goes to a river!!!

Caught a glimpse of a story, maybe published earlier than intended. It seemed to indicate overnighting except at authorized sites is still banned, will have to wait until later to see the full story.

 

[barryd]

I think I still have time to edit it but ill leave it.

Its probably a small concern really the "septic" tank as is using the same taps, lifting the lid etc. Maybe use a mask when you do it and throw away gloves. I know one of the concerns my favourite CL owner had opening was what if someone gets ill while on site. The CL I am thinking of has a CL and a rally field that is normally busy in summer and I have a feeling if it opens it will be extra busy this year. Thats a lot of people using the same emptying and filling points. What can you do though? Just stay cocooned for ever?

Prime minister has now said campsites and hotels will open June 4th. Specific details by industry sector published "later on Tuesday"

Even through my cold, impersonal computer screen, I can almost feel the cabin fever pulsing away in the background!

Of course our FM has issued completely contradictory advice, saying Scottish residents should remain within 5 miles of home and she does not expect them to travel to other parts of the UK but then saying there is no limit to the distance travelled to visit relatives. She also says to follow the rules for the part of the UK you are in. I plan to visit relatives in England after July 4th and then follow the English rules. It is impossible to comply with all her edicts as they are contradictory.
Another two local businesses closed down yesterday, devolution may well destroy the whole economy up here.
Link to a lot of contradiction.
