    Don't worry about that in the slightest. If you're a motorhome guy I don't think we'll ever visit the same places/restaurants/bars. You stay with your people, I stay with mine.

      You can give it to charity, for example.

        I use it to visit a range of places across the UK and Europe, mostly going without a set schedule, with a fair number of good restaurants, theatres and nature in all its various glories to pass the time. We also contribute to charity on a regular basis.

        You are coming across like the usual over-entitled modern middle class, incapable of understanding simple pleasures and relaxation after 45 years or more of productive work. Frankly, I'm wasting my time trying to convince you and your like and, actually, I don't give a damn about your opinion.

            I suppose life is just a lot easier for you to handle when you feel able to reliably pigeonhole others purely based on a single feature. I get it - it must be soothing to have such a closed mind, free of needing to consider that real people are actually complex and varied.

              So it's a no on the charity suggestion? I see, you rather keep chavying around with your chavy pals thinking YOU are living the life. After all, I may even envy you; being simple and having low standards rarely brings disappointment.

                With a good one going for 50k+ second hand I don't think there are too many chavs with modern motorhomes.

                  I have stayed & eaten in some of the most luxurious hotels / Restaurants around the world yet have tremendous respect for my rich relatives (they owned a very successful business that they sold before retirement) that pootle round Europe in a motorhome during the summer. They occasionally pop into decent hotels & restaurants on their travels to get decent water pressure in the shower.

                  You are coming across as a bit of an idiot frankly.
                  Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                    Idiot is only part of it. Lack of both wit and intelligence, not to mention literacy skills, appears to be factors Still, easy to lob insults from behind a keyboard.

                    Can I suggest we stop this nonsense now please.

                      Odd that he writes like he is young but clearly hasn't seen people including those who are young, living "van life" on social media.

                      Wonder where he thinks that idea comes from...
