77 was also a good summer. Many of us on here will vividly remember the Queens silver jubilee, the weekend was fantastic weather, I very well remember it as I worked for the Queen in those days and I was late getting back to work by a day and that cost me dearly at the time 🤣

I remember the summer of 95 very well. We ran a pub in Lacock in Wiltshire and lived on our boat on the K and A. I remember it because the gardens grass at the pub all turned to pale straw and the hanging baskets had to be watered about four times a day lol. It was the hottest I can remember because I missed the summer of 76 as I was in Singers during the summer after the winter up the ice lol, bit of a temperature difference.

A young woman pulled up in our local car park and ran with two small toddlers to the toilets which were locked whilst being repaired. She had that omg expression on her face. I handed her my radar key and had to tell her the loo was at the rear of the building and off she trots with kiddies. Re appears a few minutes later and was very grateful. Nowt worse than being desperate for a loo. Problem is if you dont have any form of weak bladder or IBS IBD or other toileting problem you simply dont know how desperate it can be and with kiddies in tow.

A bit like boats re cost. If you want to keep up with the Joneses and have the shiniest, newest, latest shape etc etc they are many many tens of thousands. My brilliant condition everything works, comfy, dry old bus was 6k and parks in the same fields as 300k rvs etc etc. What I tend to find is the newer shinier ones are generaly not owned by the camper but some finance company in reality. They do go faster than mine though 🤣

I wonder if the owner kept the petrol tank cap? might get DNA from it 🤣

I am on the upper deck on here as this was filmed in 1976. Very very very cold but immense fun. Best times of my life for a few years.

This post proves what has always been the case of how very cheap inland boat moorings are. My van is only 18 feet long and it's rare these days for a night in a field to be less than 30 quid. When you consider marina building costs and how long boats are it's a bargain as you are rightly pointing out 😜

Ok yes I have that as well, it's for yer prostate 🤪 It cuts out having to spend four hours a day three times a week doing dialysis.

Just get you kidneys removed and you will never ever pee again. Furosemide?
