Do you keep up your standards?

That's easy to answer :)

Just set low standards and then you'll achieve them daily :)

We have two cafetieres - a single one for myself and a larger one for when we have guests. I also took a bottle of single malt on our just finished trip but not much of it was drunk :D

We also have a Sodastream so there's posh :LOL:

I think standards are the standards you are used to and find acceptable. China plates with decent food, nice wineglasses for nice wine and good whiskey goblets for good whisky , proper cutlery and a tablecloth, table laid inside for evening meals but lunch can be al fresco and more relaxed. Leaf tea in a teapot at breakfast, although we do allow bone china mugs although they are delicate and thin which is important.

We are fortunate to be able to live very well at home, we have a very nice motorhome so why should we apply different standards when using it. Bit like nice manners really. Nice manners are what make people nice to be with. Burping and farting loudly in public, eating with a mouth open or full of food, constantly looking at mobile phone in company and adopting similar low standards/poor manners show little or no respect for the others you are with and even less for themselves.
Each to their own,but
 
I think my only concession to luxury in the MH is having a pint glass for the beer instead of a plastic tumbler. I use an Apple Mac laptop in the MH, which is posher then the PC I use most of the time, and we've got satellite TV in the MH but not on the house.

I'm reminded of a campsite we stayed on in Bude a few years ago when we had the old '75 VW camper - every evening when we returned in the van from the beach, the neighbours on one side could be seen hastily hammering their windbreak along the boundary between our pitches like it was a stripey privet hedge to keep the riff-raff out. Oh how we laughed.
 
We so would not get on Ian.

I dress down and act down at weekends after a week of suffering pompous gits.

Chris, I might have different ways of doing things to you. Does that make me a pompous git? I am neither affected or grand, or self-important, at least I sincerely hope not.(which comes with the definition) I just like living the way I do.

If, simply because of that you think you couldn't get on with me, that's fine. I know, and have known several pompous gits and I can assure you I like them as much as you do. Must be hell to suffer them all week.

Sorry Ian - I certainly wasn't calling you a pompous git.

Sorry if it came across that way
 
I always drink my beer straight from the can or bottle.

I am far more scruffy ( and happy) when I am in the motorhome.

We do have a tablecloth but don't faff about with flowers on the table or stuff like that.


But , you are a lawyer , I thought they were always posh everywhere :eek:
Oh , I feel better now , I can relax with my can in my hand when suited guys are about (y)

One of the scruffiest guys I know is a QC - he simply hides everything either under his wig or his robes. job done!
 
Proper crockery and glasses for wine and beer though I often drink beer out of the bottle/can unless I've remembered to chill the glass first. Cold beer in a warm glass is a nono. My after dinner port has to be in the right glass too, also brandy if I have that.

We have an espresso machine at home but the best we have in the MH is a cafetière.

I dress for dinner; I put my shirt back on so my beer belly doesn't put SWMBO of her feed.

The only one who uses plastic is Meg (dog) as her non-spill water bowl is plastic, they don't make them of anything else.

I'm on the dog's side here. Think we will stop doing rallies, you lot are just a posh bunch of baristas with all your poncy coffee, which doubtlessly tastes refreshingly expensive....... ;)

At Malvern, we will be cowering in our van, drinking cheap wine out of plastic glasses and then trying to sober up the following day with Aldi instant coffee out of a melamine mug :blush:
 
Depends on who you are, I guess. Some people can be as scruffy as they want and it's ok by me. :)
