Condoms? Now that sure is a glass half full approach to traveling in the van(y):D
Guess you used one to blow up, place over the taps to get the water system fully drained down?, you know when you had that water pressure problem.
Essential part of any tool kit eh?:whistle2:

LES:D2

Young men need to brag about their conquests in case we dont realize how virile they are!
perhaps the young women concerned had a score chart pinned up on their bedroom walls or posted their scores on faceache lol :love:
I would hardly call it bragging lol

I'm embarrassed.....now last year well I could have bragged then lol
The year before even better

Sadly I must be getting old ?

I've just been catching up on this thread from page 191 and have read that you're buying silver screens in Fareham. I've skipped reading the last three pages cos I'm off to bed so I don't know if anyone has offered to pick up your screens in Fareham but I live in Gosport which runs into Fareham. No problem for me to pick them up for you.

Morning

Thanks for that , the guy seems fine to hold on to them for me my only issue is hes leaving friday night to go away for the weekend till monday so I have to collect them by then or wait till the monday.

I'll be at lennys from Wednesday to the friday.....but not sure when on friday yet as depends what we discover with my van.
But as lenny is busy over weekend and I've a small list of places I have to visit on way home I plan to be moving on Friday afternoon/evening anyway

If I make good time from folkestone Wednesday morning I'll probably go straight to fareham collect them then back to lennys

It was more a worry incase he didn't hang on to them for me and sold them before then.
But he doesn't look short of money so he shouldn't get desperate as I'm giving him the full asking price etc. And he's said he would keep them.

If anything happens meantime that screws up my plan then yes that would be fantastic if you could collect them for me.

But hopefully all goes smooth ?

€3 for 5 oranges is frankly disgusting

And why does France get their oranges from Africa when spain is closer ?

Cannae get a decent biscuit in this country either and need a mortgage for a bar of chocolate.......
If lidl used less aisles for loads of cheap crap that you dont go to the supermarket for they would have room for real food

I honestly dont get french food

Its crap......even the bread


I miss mercadonna



I bet that's what the customs were really looking for in my van ....decent food


That's why they were in my fridge and freezer

Can a doggy person just put my mind at ease and confirm it is only the rabies and worming that's important for dogs coming back to the UK?

Jade needs one of her other vaccinations updated but I'd prefer to get vet at home to do that


I'm paranoid incase something else stops me getting out of this god forsaken country on Wednesday lol


Put my mind at ease

Rabies and worming are all that are needed, so you can stop stressing! Check the DEFRA website for the official info.

I'm sure you know what opinions are like Tam, everyone has got one. ;)
And as for France, we love the country and the food. Think yourself lucky that you have got away this year as we haven't managed to. :cry:?

So I've changed the plans for windscreen rubber, Richard green had said high wycombe or Manchester and originally I thought high wycombe was best option but since I'm now going from folkestone to lancing to fareham to bristol to Coventry it makes sense to then go to manchester , I've then something else to collect in keighley and then up to Newcastle to visit Angela, do my cv etc

So booked in for windscreen next monday morning and theyve said it's ok for me to park in their carpark over night on the sunday .
So that should work out fine

If I dont get delayed in france again


It's like hotel California here they don't let you leave

Thats for the cheapo bar, there is a larger bar for a bit more. The one I prefer is the fruit and almond.
