As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $1,000 or a $10 watch - - they both tell the same time. Whether we carry a $500 or a $50 wallet/handbag - - the amount of money inside is the same. Whether we drink a bottle of $100 or $10 wine - - the hangover is the same. Whether the house we liv...

I've phoned at least 10 insurers today and they've all said no. I'm starting to think that this is just something that isn't done. Anyone else in the same boat? C...

I'm planning on free camping and then leaving the van to explore locally but I'm not too sure if that's a wise idea. Would it be better, if I want to explore an area, to stay in a caravan park? What arer the security issues with free camping when you are away from the site?
