We've just sold our Jayco Swan camper trailer and for it's whole life we had bath mats down to protect the floor. Worked great and the floor surface is immaculate. We've got a new Starcraft now and want something a bit better than bathmats! Any recommendations? We were thinking of carpet offcuts but th...

This old lady had lived at the head of the bight at the bottom of Australia for many years, her only companion was Thomas her cat.

I've been working on my "permanent travel" budget - which will be funded from savings - and I can't find room in it for private health cover. I am 58, in good health, a solo, and currently pay just under $50 per week for my private cover. I don't take any medications at all. Interested in all comments but in...

How does Moses make tea? Hebrews it. Venison for dinner again? Oh deer! A cartoonist was found dead in his home. Details are sketchy. I used to be a banker, but then I lost interest. Haunted French pancakes give me the crêpes. England has no kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool. I tried to catch some...
