The Camping Forum

[LittleSkink]

just wanted to say thank you for all these lovely contributions

[subaqua]

some of the posters on this thread need to read the definition of irony. there isn't a one size fits all version of a camper. if people want to pay a bit extra then so hat.
stereotyping people is never a good way to build relationships.
a friendly foum , Hmmmm

Rather odd reply???? Would you care to enlighten us all further please....

Its fairly clear isn't it.

don't stereotype people, that way tarquin and jemimas parents might not be as sniffy as you think.

I haven't ever had a problem with anybody on a campsite, caravanners , FCs TTs canvas owners, but thats because I don't have a preconcevied attitude of what certain peolle will be like.

if a potential member had googled campsite prices this thread would have been in top 4 or 4 results. the nutgiobne comments while seen by regulars might be put down to "banter" a new user could well be put off .


although as Nutgone is a spark I can understand the brashness ( yes for my sins I too am an electrician )


apart from that , love the forum , its growing and i get a friendlier vibe here than i did at UKCS reading some of the posts there.


What happened at the other place anyway ? might have to start a thread to ask.

Please don't start another thread on the 'other' site, there's a huge thread already on here, don't let them take over

That was said in jest and not meant to offend anyone.

that explains a lot, it makes sense now I know your one of us (that makes three sparkys here)

The trouble with writing is there is no expression and your quite right in that it can be misread. only today I got a ear full of my OH because she completely misunderstood a text I sent her. A complement was taken as an insult

[nutgone]

Why should being a sparky mean I'm brash???

Bit stereotypical & presumptuous, isn't it?

Being serious though (I was joking above), I think most people who might find my comments offensive (poor little Tarquin & Gemima's parents) won't be here long anyway.

Why?

Well, you'll see all their camping stuff on ebay in a few weeks time!!!

(I'm actually quite well spoken, myself. Probably another reason I gave up working on building sites. I also couldn't stand to drink instant coffee all day! & used to get the mickey taken for bringing ground coffee & a cafetiere mug)

Anyhow, as for this site & the "other place" thing, here we are definitely given more free reign & artistic license with our posts, I've yet to see anything edited or deleted. As for threads on the subject? We have a long one & several short ones, lurking in the welcome section. My welcome thread is entitled "Nutgone moves over".
