Lenny's Heading for Germany (1 Viewer)

[marpool]

new patios at home and 18 euros a night, that wallet of yours has never been so empty. On a serious note rest up and take care and get yourself well again, this forum needs our Lenny on top form.

€18 is a small price to pay in your situation Lenny HB its money well spent, don't go over doing it I know from previous experience, you heal quicker if you rest.
It does make you feel good putting money into the local communities, unfortunately we have not had the need to pay for services or parking for the last 5 weeks, but we have used reasonably priced restaurants and been buying diesel €.93 we don't have the view where we are now, but it's free and the Spanish wine is good.

On the serious side, take it easy I can understand Mi not wanting to drive the motorhome, I'm lucky Janie drives anything, in fact the only time on this trip I have sat in the seat is when its turned when we are parked.

I hope people have learnt something from this thread.
Have you got your wife insured to drive your motorhome, and will she drive it, if not take her off the policy. Bob.

Daft as it may seem it's probably cheaper to have her on the insurance even if she doesn't drive it.

Quite agree, I don't know how it works in Spain, because Janie insured both of our vehicles and anyone over 25 can drive them.
But in the UK............... the insurance company would get a chauffeur to drive you home. Bob.

 

[Minxy]

The lads not well.
Give him a bit of leeway.
Knowing Lenny he’ll make up for it.

He already has ... just think of all the dosh he's saved by not dining out each day!

We were in transit back from Dunkirk to Poland and it was before we used Apps like park4night. I sawa lake on the map off to the right and thought there might be a spot around there for a night. We drove down to the N. side of the lake(not realising Germans use See for any water whether natural lake or a resevoir) tiurned west along the lake and came upon a empty grass car park above the road, found a flattish bit and settled in. One other MH joined us

It was only when we went for a walk that we came across the dam and realised what we had found. It is quite thought provoking to stand between the two towers and imagine Lancs flying at 60' over the water with flak and machine gun fire all around them - must have taken nerves of steel to hold a course till the bomb aimer shouted 'Bomb gone' and one could take evasive action.

I was based at the dams (SOEST ) for a few years when I was attached to HQ 3 division BAOR. Lovely area and when we had visitors I would take them on the dam and get the to find the repair marks.

Obviously still under the influence of all them drugs they pumped into him, non drugged up Lenny would never pay that

He will come to his senses soon enough

Do you think he might get thrown out of the FLT club for not FLTing enough if he does he will be the first, a dishonorable discharge from FLT.

Very good point. I've only driven our current van on two occasions, the last one being for about 100km on the French Autoroute. I've never driven through a town or village abroad. I really need to do something about that. I can fully understand why Mi didn't want to drive.

I've also pledged that the next time we fill up with LPG, I'll be the one to do it. I've never done that and, until now, had not really considered that I might need to.

I do have good cassette-emptying skills though .

Lenny, just spoil yourself for a few days and enjoy your 18 Euro Stellplatz. Just think of the savings you must have made by eating hospital food!

I hope your trip is going to turn into a holiday from now on.

Since Lenny and Tam, Northernraider are out of the country at the moment I have taken on the task of upholding the reputation of the British FLT's.
We are parked up on a free spot in Lincolnshire at the moment and, weather permitting, intend to stay for 5 nights.
It's a tough job but someone has to do it.

A fine example from the CEO of the FLT association, good to see you’re feeling better.

I'm a mere beginner compared to the likes of Northernraider, Busman , Minxy Girl etc.
PhilandMena has lost the plot this year and is trying hard to get himself evicted.

I think its already happened Bud ! Guess you will be joining me soon and I welcome your company ! Just to add fuel to the fire and enhance my reputation I'm currently in dialogue with a campsite in Crete for a booking for the whole of June, next year. However, I'll continue to wild camp when its right for us to do so and will be sorry if I can no longer wind up those do gooders who look down on FLT's.

...and us, but we do not post much when travelling. I think our total is 7 campsites in 11 years - does that bar us?

You would have thought any half decent CEO would have made sure all of his associate FLT members and even those aspiring to join the association understood the rules, regulations and requirement for membership and ongoing compliance monitoring. And what do we get instead, a sordid affair from our alleged CEO with Herman the big butch german nurse while he leaves his own poor wife to manage the cassette. That's heartless, self centred and not the behaviour one expects from a man's man. Love is a funny thing.

They had to repair that, unlike all the bridges we bombed on the Rhine.
Well done but don't go over doing it. Bob

Repaired it in 4 months but caused major problems for them.
On bomb that missed and bounced over the Dam took out a power station.
Just watched a document about it on Prime.

 

[Langtoftlad]

Glad to see you up & about but nanny nagging... don't be overdoing it. Give your old body a chance to recover/ heal.
