BAD LUCK DUCK

The woman I'm married to as what I suppose is classed as a commercial van and as had no problem booking in anywhere and she is towing a massive camper trailer tent..Tried booking a short break in a touring park at Bunn Leisure near Chichester, they won't allow me to book because the towing vehicle is a van, blanket ban on commercial vehicles.
I can't even tow a caravan on site with the van then park outside it outside which I offered to do, really boiled my piss that I offered a compromise which clearly shows I have no intention of trading or sleeping in the fucking van!
I have been there many times in the past with the camper, just pisses me off that there is absolutely no compromise from their side!
Dear William,
Thank you for your email regarding bringing a van onto the Touring Park. Our commercial vehicle policy has been in place since 2014 and does not permit guests to bring a commercial vehicle/van on to the site. We do not permit commercial vehicles because our primary focus is a leisure park and we cannot have people trading from park, although some guests tell us their van isn't being used for this purpose we cannot police it easily and therefore a blanket rule applies.
Also in particular on the Touring Park guests have in past years used solid panelled vans as an additional sleeping unit which goes against the fire regulations on park. We are unable to allow a guest to tow on their caravan using a solid panelled van and then leave again because if one customer does it then it would cause upset for other guests who have followed our policy and found alternative means of transport rather than bringing their van.
If you have no other vehicle to use and have already made a booking with ourselves I can request that our head office cancel and refund your stay in full. I have copied our bookings team into my reply to you so that they are aware I have agreed this.
Many thanks and apologies for any inconvenience caused,
Julie Ham

Some of them may be no trouble @Bad Billy but some can be seriously bad news. I worked as a barman and bouncer in an Ayrshire caravan park back in the late eighties and, whenever the travellers arrived on site the bill for bar furniture and glasses rocketed up, the amusement arcade would get robbed and, one time, a gate security guard had his legs run over by a landrover (while being held down by a couple of them) for daring to try and stop them doing what they wanted. Down in Ayr the beggars camped out on the beautiful area of grass between the houses and the beach and utterly wrecked the place. The Cops were nowhere to be seen. I am constantly puzzled why the Police seem to generally take nothing to do with investigating crimes where 'Travellers' are suspected to be responsible.

To be honest mate I can book other places no bother, it's just we like the one I was trying to book, it's a lovely place & we have stayed there loads of times, it is also only an hour from home, just boiled my piss that they weren't prepared to compromise in order to get over the problem FFS!

Oh, on the subject of 'travellers' as well - I think it was around 1992 and I was working security at Glastonbury Festival. The festival itself was over and we were just scattered around the site keeping an eye on the remaining lorry trailers, tents, furniture etc. I was down the opposite end of the site from the gate about two in the morning, sitting at a fire outside a tent owned by a mad Yardie fella who was providing me with free 'refreshments' (Red Stripe) and smokes when my radio sprang into life with the guys at the gate frantically calling for our boss down at the Security compound saying there were about five hundred travellers at the gates demanding to get in. The boss shouts down the radio "Stand your ground and don't let them in!" to which the lad screams back "A couple of them have got shotguns!" Straight back comes "OK stand down immediately let them in and get your arses down to the Security compound out of their way"
Thieving pikey scum, virtually without exception. If you meet one who seems ok, it's because he's a crafty thieving pikey.

Scotland receives £2,000 MORE per person than England... yet the SNP are STILL not happy
SCOTS benefit from a "Union dividend" as Boris Johnson spends more on public services in Scotland than in England.

And they are still struggling, "BUT" they still cannot give any detail how they will make things pay when that money is removed

It’s the usual I’m not happy, when you tell them to go then it turns out, they are happy.
Let the Scott’s have another vote and go with the majority.
It could be as bad for the UK as the Scott’s it let them decide

I am quietly confident, and have been for a couple of years, we have actually seen peak SNP. Time and money was always going to make monkeys of their forecasting and ludicrous projections. The only unifying feature of the SNP is ‘independence at any price’. It’s a price plenty are now shying at and only a tiny minority are even proposing the kind of modern, small, agile monetarist State that might actually work.
Scotland’s revenues simply won’t support the ‘progressive’ (whatever that ridiculous word means) levels of public spending we presently enjoy courtesy of UK largesse (just like everywhere outside SE England). I predict a major stall on 6 May. Folk are wising up and a struggle to get all the blue faced vote out. Look at Salmond and Sturgeon’s eyes. They know it’s not happening for them.

only ever road raged once. a bunch of MAMILs were blocking a road riding not only in their lane but in the opposing lane, making way only for oncoming traffic. they had about 20 cars behind them - I could overtake the cars but not the selfish wankers on bicycles safely. Even if they had been two abreast in contravention of the highway code (which says they may providing they are not obstructing the highway) everyone would have been able to pass safely but they were too full of themselves to be anything other than selfish cunts. Eventually there was finally a bt of straight road I slapped their lead rider on the arse as I overtook - he crashed and because they were all riding dangerously close to one another all but a couple of the pack ended up on the floor in a mass pile of MAMILs and bicycles. I stopped in case anyone was hurt, but they were all picking themselves up from the carnage untangling themselves and I was getting congratulated by all the frustrated cagers as they filtered past, so I just bowed and exited stage left pursued by a MAMIL who was threatening to beat the hell out of me. I didn’t want to get in a fight since I had somewhere to be, and I had a few more horsepower than him so I waved at him and kept just far enough ahead until he ran out of puff.
They reaped what they sowed I guess. if they hadn’t been such a bunch of self entitled pricks there wouldn’t have been an issue in the first place, and I seriously didn’t intend to leave a pile of bodies behind me.
Not all cyclists are like this, but like bikers sometimes a few give the rest a bad name.

I understand totally their drive for self determination but they are deluded if they think they can make it work the way they are saying. A divorce with 400 years of baggage will be an incredibly complex issue. The only way I think it could be made to work is almost like a trial separation where Scotland exists for a couple of years solely with its own tax revenue, but I cannot see that happening.

It’s not so much baggage as interbreeding of everything from families to economic development. In the 19th C Glasgow was known as the 2nd City of Empire and the hub of technical and industrial innovation. It has suffered from global economic forces no more than Manchester or Tyneside but the SNP has gone full Liverpool on disadvantage totally outwith UK government powers.
Most financial and information based industries migrated to London over 300 yrs from the Manchester Guardian to you name it. Independence would see RBS etc., scuttle South too because their shareholders need BoE cover until any BoS central bank established its credibility as lender of last resort. They can move a nameplate and tax liabilities pdq!
The SNP have been utterly dishonest about numbers and practicalities. Of course it’s entirely doable. It’s just the time and cost involved and the end result. I personally think the leadership realises that but they enjoy all the perks of driving the train because no other ****** would employ those jerks on the pay & expenses they presently enjoy.

I think that it is very telling that so many of the SNP announced months ago that they are standing down at the election. They knew that the worst of the Scottish population might just have been able to force their hand and they wouldn't be able to avoid going for independence even though it would probably mean, at least in the short term (say the next fifty or so years) extreme financial hardship and poverty for the bulk of the Scottish population and they didn't want to hang around to be held accountable when all the Republicans (both Scottish and Irish) start looking for someone to blame for their own choices. I suspect that Sturgeon and her repulsive bunch of scum are hoping that the people now back away from a referendum but, at the same time, keep her in the driving seat of the gravy train.

My daughter has had her application for the Army put on hold because my mrs got DVT some years ago and booked my daughter in for a blood test just in case she had 'thick blood' but didn't tell her so she didn't go. The army audited Anna's medical records and have called up an appointment made with haematology that she didn't attend because one parent might have Leiden V. So Anna's career is now on hold while she makes an appointment with haematology for a blood test which will take weeks or months to get because my Mrs can't fucking leave shit alone.

A necessary evil from the MoD perspective. You can’t invest training in people you might injure or who will never be fit enough to deploy. So you check for the benefit of all concerned. I suspect it would have emerged one way or another. In any event, the aim is to pass people who are fit and know of any issues that might need special care.
She should not be despondent but find out. She ought to know if she has a heightened risk of thrombosis anyway. Fingers crossed she’s unaffected.

Oh I don't disagree with you - it isn't about being despondent so much as the unnecessary time wastage sorting out something now that could have been done and dusted a long time ago - but having booked her in years ago yet never followed it through, her pathological inability to not interfere has created a delay for Anna now. Not to mention the waste of NHS time back then when she made the appointment and decided on Anna's behalf for her not to turn up. If she had made the appointment and then at least told Anna about it instead of opening all the post and NOT TELLING HER about the appointment, we wouldn't now be having to deal with it at a time where Anna is unlikely to get a swift resolution one way or the other.
Edit: Anna's GP will get back to her by next Thursday about making a referral with Haematology at the hospital.... so that's a week gone before even asking haematology for an appointment..... see why my proverbial piss is boiling? If Sam had made the appointment on Anna's behalf and seen it through, she wouldn't now be having to deal with the fallout because either she would know that yes she has it and be able to action accordingly, or no she doesn't and there is no problem. Instead we have this limbo. Still good practice for an armed forces career - hurry up and wait!
