    You need a truck to tow them in the UK though.

    Slightly off topic for this thread.

    I bought an 8 month old Tabbert Cellini Slide-Out on a permenant site. Went out to buy something cheap, ended up getting this at a 25k ish discount from a bankrupt couple. It is very different from how you could possibly imaging caravaning to be. I will be very comfortable this race season.

    Another option is that we boost our fledgling internal market for EU leotards, perhaps by offering discount public transport to Parliament Square.

    I then took a crystal glass out of my glass cabinet, took ice from the ice machine and grabbed a bottle of tonic from the full size fridge and mixed it with Gin from the liquor cabinet.

    It was a little nippy so I fired up the central heating. I was feeling lazy so popped some leftovers in the microwave, and settled down to watch a movie on my leather couch. I then went to bed in my queen size bed, remembering to chuck my plates in the dishwasher.

    I was gently woken up by the Sonos in the morning, and watched the news (the satellite dish having locked on to a satelllite carrying BBC news).

    Pretty average evening then. Apart from the fact that I did this in a ******* caravan. When I was a kid we had a Ci Sprite. It was hell.

    If I had had this thing when I was contracting in my 20s & 30s, I would have spent a lot less time in hotels, that much is for sure. Nowdays it may seem naff, but image aside it would make a lot of sense.

    Been listening to LBC the last few days and it's depressing to hear the hosts keep parroting the party line and shutting down and ridiculing all of the (many) 'non-believers' who keep calling in.

    Except for Farage on Sunday morning - he's a useful idiot, I'm surprised they let him do his show.

    This morning they are talking about full on panic mode about some revenge Russian cyber-attack whipping up all kinds of speculation on on what they might do.

    2 examples of questions they couldn't answer so they just ridiculed then cut off the caller were:

    1. If the poison administered to the Skripals was 'slow release' how come the policeman who found them was affected immediately?

    2. Didn't the OPCW declare the Syrian government compliant in having no chemical weapons in the last year or so? And hasn't it been proven that there are chemical weapons in Syria that have been used by the rebels/ISIS?

    This morning they were talking about fake news and disinformation 'warfare' as part of this impending cyber attack.

    They're getting desperate...
