I changed my forum name from Burstner to Barclaybasher about a month ago, I would like to explain………….
I became Barclaybasher in 1999 after being sent a statement from Barclays Bank showing an overdrawn balance of £98,734.52 on an account that should not even have existed
Barclaybasher has been my only on-line name since 1999, including email, eBay and other forums.
From 2010 I was the full time carer for my wife, Wanda, who had been diagnosed in 2008 with MSA, a terminal condition with no cure or treatment.
We hadn’t owned a MH since 1996. I bought the Burstner in 2011 when travelling by air became impossible for her so that whatever time we still had was not just spent at home.
Buying the motorhome was special, just about us, not Barclays Bank, so I chose Burstner as my forum name when I joined FUN in 2012 instead of using Barclaybasher.
We had some great times, over 10,000 miles in the first year including trips to France and Spain.
As the MSA progressed even getting into the van became impossible and sadly after 44 years together Wanda passed away a year ago.
I sold the Burstner in July, not intending to buy another MH but saw the Eriba and bought it on impulse. I am still not sure whether the desire to use the van is there but I will give it a go.
Having sold the Burstner it seemed logical to change my forum name…….….as I have good reason, even this year, to carry on complaining about Barclays I chose, to revert to Barclaybasher
Thank you for reading....................
