I like free aires, I also seem to have developed a phobia of barriers and tokens

so today found a lovely free aire, Mende, worth the travel only charge is for water and electric, the latter you have to be attached to the borne for, not sure what happens if somebody else needs water while they are attached to electrics

I digress, we are refilled but showered tonight so back down to an arbitrary 50% full of fresh water, 100% grey, I announced not sure I will pay another 2 euros for half a tank of water tomorrow

so I am now mean, or more literally she said get real David :)

maybe she is right (y)

What about the extra fuel dragging around that half tank of expensive water, the next one might be free.

5 years, feel free to ask me about the Carado!!
In that case I recommend the aire in Guitiriz northern Spain free EHU and water and plenty of spaces this time of year, nobody would probably even notice if you were living there full time.(y)

You're kidding surely ... why on earth would you pay €2 for 50L of water ... wait until you're down to at most 49L and then fill up!!!! :LOL:

Empty your "Grey" waste into a bucket and use it to flush the loo...

Thus saving humping the weight of all that grey waste around... (y)

Maybe you need to review your shower techniques 50% for 2 showers sounds like poor technique or a small tank :giggler:

I was guessing at the quantity left, bit like the gauge does TBH :)

It only shows 100 / 75 / 50 and 25% at 25% it declares itself nearly empty,

How much rounding up and down is done I don't know, but it doesn't often get to 100% and quickly drops to 75% if it does, as it happens we do have 75% left

So I was right in my choice to pay to fill again today, just left them with our dirty shower water and left, fully vindicated when arriving at next aire to find free water even though it says payable on campercontact (y)

might just have another shower :D

You could have seen if there was another tight arse on site who might like to go 1€ each :LOL:

I was only thinking Techno, that David and Pete really ought to synchronise their calendars so they could arrange to be in the same place at the same time.

But then of course if it happens to take a €2 Euro coin - even though they are only paying €1 each there would likely be nothing said to each other at the time, but sulks afterwards that me and Bev would have to listen to ad infi bloody nitum over 'who paid last time?' so I decided it isn't worth it ......

If you showered together the water would go further and it might turn out to be romantic at the time of Valentines Day!

No? Well that would probably be the attitude in my MoHo as well but it was worth a try!!

Coffee the other area of my biggest level of meanness, why pay when you have perfectly good stuff a few yds away in MH

But I quite like Titus Godfreyus, has a certain something, not quite sure what :LOL:
