Bet he’s just got back from Elevenerife
I see he’s been quiet since
Queens is brilliant for meals. In Pooley Brudge itself our favourite is The Sun Inn. Great food and superb beer garden. John and Jane who run the place are brilliantAye know it I think--on right hand side as You come down from Eamont Bridge to Ullswater. Queens at Tirril should be canny anarl with Jim and Margaret
Caravan? Fuck off, orange Force 10 tent with separate flysheet.Don't come a knocking

The Crown could be brilliant as it is right on the river but bar service is absolutely shite. Regularly stand for more than 15mins or more waiting to be served .
We also enjoy doing a walk over the back and calling in at the Brackenrigg for a few
I hope he's outside getting his butler to take a photo of his McLaren. Probably struggling for light with Monte Carlo being that far south.

Knew Jim and Margaret from Agricultural in Penrith Years ago and used them while they were at Mill Inn Mungrisedale as well--food has always been excellent by them. Used to go in Sun over 30 Years ago when they had live music on--usually the Bottle tops from NE.Queens is brilliant for meals. In Pooley Brudge itself our favourite is The Sun Inn.

How many have been burnt by the site demanding you replace the caravan every few years by having to buy a new one which you can only do from the owner of the site?
Our family looked at going in together but this put us off.
We bought one to stay in while we were knocking down and rebuilding out in Brittany. Over the time we had it, the £ slipped that much against the € that when we came to sell it we hadn’t lost a penny (or cent). Loved our pikey van, was sad to see it go.The father in law has one up Amble, the amount of value the statics lose is ridiculous.

Bloke I worked with used to say ‘I’m taking the van down easingwold’
I read a newspaper article not long ago saying after his marriage dissolved he slept with a lass 14 and was caught and jailed. Not saying ’the van’ was to blame but if he’d took his lass to Bali instead she might not have left him
They are run like the mafia have organised it, my FiL had one, decided to sell and move to the coast as they loved it so much, they paid 42k for it, 2 years later they were offered 17k by the site. They asked about selling it privately and were told they would have to pay 15% of the price they got to the site, also the site had to handle the viewings, of course they never had any as the site were selling their own first. Ended up taking the 17k in the end.
They have it sown up so tight you can’t move, this was in Brid, the fees were 4k per year for 12 months so not cheap either. they had a 10 year replacement policy, if your van was deemed to be in in good condition it could be-extended to 15, then reviewed annually after that. If you refused you were moved to a cheaper run down site they had further down the coast. Would love one but wouldn’t touch it with a bargepole.
Used to go on the Billingham supports coach. some facts about himMmm not so sure. Might have kept his lass for a while longer but Bali's full of DNASH so might have still got jailed.
Reminds me of a house in my street. 1970s build 3 bed semi, so they named it ‘South View Lodge’ with a posh looking sign by the door. It is not a lodge, it only had a view of the street and house opposite and faces east/west with no windows to the south.Some try calling their statics lodges
52 weeks down here... Play up...Just seen a fellow SMBer refer to his caravan as a holiday home on another thread.
I’ve stayed with Eurocamp a couple of times and they are “chalets”.
We all know what they are, you’re not fooling anyone. Are people that ashamed of living like a pikey for 2 weeks of the year?
Aye and static prices go down dramatically. And it costs a fortune if you want to move it to another site. Site we're on takes I think 15 or 20% of any sale too. Absolute con and why I won't go near a static.Just FYI, tourers generally hold their value really well. They don't even depreciate as fast as cars. No engine see.
