Are absolutly sure that you are at the right place and that you didnt take a wrong turning and ended up in the Taj Mahal?
Easily done, a few extra pints of John Smith's a Chicken Vindaloo and you end up in the Taj Mahal 'Oh deri me' extra special caravan park in Mumbai?

You never know these days....

Hehehe.....yep right turningoh: I think,,,Tom Tom said turn right or was it left ,

Oh I forgot to mention..... they also do flood lit tennis still in use at the mo at 8.45pm....and a quiz night.... entry fee is 2 euros:thumb:

Right...

Time to start an organised campaign... you Thatcher children won't know what I am talking about but...

I plan to canvas all the Funsters going to the Marjal meet before hand and all the rest of the "campers" on arrival to see how many of us/them actually want to hear canned music...

If the significant majority want it on, ok... but if it is the reverse, we will form a committee, choose some shop stewards and make representations to the management and get it switched off...

Seriously... I will have great difficulty staying on a site if Frank Sinatra and the Carpenters are being forced on me...

May I suggest some Funsters bring bala-clavas (sp?) and wire cutters. With the right distractions and careful planning we should be able to cut the wires to the speakers in the night. An ideal distraction would be a group rendition of "Sunshine Mountain". If that doesn't work then a fight outside reception over gassing/toads on A frames or self filling of Calor bottles should give enough time and cover for the operation...

In the meantime maybe Raimon will read this thread and post info on the site's policy on Muzak...

JJ :Cool:

Oh JJ I love music but when I want to listen to it... I do hope the management re-consider having this noise blasting out constantly .. in certain communal area's ok but throughout the pitches definitely "NO"

I can't imagine anyone would want canned music all day.Sounds awful.

I hope they sort it out before the Funsters gathering.

Electric bill ????

Why do you need so much leccy ? Forewarned is forearmed ! I shall be using gas for everything, cooking, heating and the the solar panel will charge up the batteries for lighting !
The only leccy I shall use is for charging up the leccy bike for the trek to the bogs etc !

You Marjal funsters......bring some normal coax cable with connections on both ends one male one female..(not the sat type cable)...on each pitch has a TV connection....auto tune your TV to Digital....and you will get BBC1.BBC wales...ITV..ITV2...

Also Bring a length of waste pipe to run your grey water into waste water outlet, and a length of hosepipe to fill up, all on each pitch:thumb:

You have no fear of that JON...most of the time we had no heating on, and sat in heavy cardies and padded waist coats sat outside your place at night to keep warm and the 30 euros I gave you for the leccy will more than cover it!! I only pay that at home for a detached house!!...we never put on people or take friends for granted... and during the day outside your place it was hot sun, and not much cooking eitheroh:

Why so few channels ?

[Stephen & Jeannie]

This is the one !!!

And you still managed to take all those photos of empty pitches and missed my RV sitting in pride of place on the roundabout B001....Tut Tut.

The site has over 250 vans and caravans at the moment which is as many as the old site could hold. But this place is so large it looks empty still its early days for this site yet.
I would advise all funsters to bring a cycle you will find it invaluable especially popping down to the shop or reception.

Look forward to the new faces...

Kay & Stu

For info....I have been talking to Swan Autos an English garage near the old site just down the road at Guadamar, they are having an LPG tank & Pump installed, they're just waiting for the paperwork to go through will let yo know when they have it fitted.

I wonder how far they have progressed !:Cool:

salopian.....when you have trouble getting any TV down here,....and a tugger behind me with a 1 meter dish can only get sky news......a few channels are better than nothing.....you can have up to 100 if you want many French, Spanish, German channels no problem,:thumb:

The refillable gas is it..... OPEN NOW....as I read it no but should be soonoh:

Typical Yorkshireman. Just because they all grow up in the largest county in England. They think that next door is alongside. There are damn near two fields between us.
After all Mel has said he did help me out getting tv into my van. The points at the EHU are standard push in male connectors. Just run a cable from there to the back of your tv and tune in the digital channels. Plus, he and his good lady wife offered first aid after I took a fall. I thought I saw a centime on the ground and did a flying tackle that Wigan RFC would be proud of, scrapped all my knees and elbows. Of course it could have been the wine and the awning guy rope that did it.
The site really is fabulously clean and tidy and a lot of money has been spent on it.
As said the music is only at the car park entrance and round the plaza. Only heard a couple of hi de hi messages when we got here and they have stopped. Great selection of beer at the bar but it is pricey if you are here for a long time and I didn't manage a staff discount which I tried for. When I asked the barmaid for a discount she said something about roundabouts. My Spanish is non existent so I gave up on the idea.
To put the record straight it was my wife who managed the ferry deal. I had nothing to do with it.
ps. When we checked in here I was asked for identification and presented my photo card driving licence and my new ACSI camping card. The receptionist looked puzzled and asked why did I want to book in with ACSI and pay more as I had a special deal. The card was quickly put back in my wallet and all was well again.

pps. Whatever you pay to get here I am sure you will love it. http://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/images/smilies/thumb.gif
