STOP picking on Alan - wether it's the elder, older, doddery or youngish one! He's a likkle flower of delicate disposition and we don't want to scare him away. Cos if we do and he doesn't show up, then we can't pick on him. Don't let on though. Peg Leg Pete, you'd best be there matey - not seen your...

Re: Bring Me a Bongo
I think that you may have to take a longer more considered approach in choosing the right conversion to suit your needs. I'm toying with the idea of producing a fact sheet in the guise of a xl spreadsheet: Basic image of conversion type; advantages, disadvantages, approx cost etc etc Problem is that...

Re: Kid friendly campsite in France
There is a cracking campsite at Troyes - about 90 mins chug south of Reims - we have stayed there a few times - nice size pitches, almost in the centre of town - supermarket next door, free wifi and a swimming pool. The shower blocks are also of a good standard. The weather is lovely Aug/Jul as well!

Re: bonnet bra
I've a bonnet bra and swear by them. Unfortunately unless you can find someone to make one, you are limited with what is around! The previous posts about 'tide' marks and rust are true. However, what I do is; remove bonnet bra and put in a 30/40C wash to get rid of all the residual dust/grit/sand fr...
