Just a curious question here; How many of you sold up your house completely to go on the road? During our travels, we have met quite a few people who have done that (and new 4X4 and caravan to show for it!) but what happens when they get sick of travelling (or just sick)? We have kept our house (renting it out...

On a train from London to Manchester to watch the cricket, an Australian was berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment. "You English are too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much. You think your stiff upper lip makes you above the rest of us. Look at me... I'm ME! I hav...

Hi all, I've already been asking questions before introducing ourselves! We are at home over summer (health problems restrict being in heat) so for the other three seasons we are out and about, we do love the coast but inland anywhere is a favourite, we love free or reasonable camping.

Has the "Mailbaggers" section been neglected of late? Haven't seen a post for some time now. Has it gone to the nudist beach where Bohemian Gypsy has snuck off to. They have nothing to write on there. Perhaps the terrible trio have hijacked/hacked the mailbaggers 'pooter system. Kevin --...
