I would think that the membership of CC will diminish this year due to the ridiculous program aired on TV.
We left some years ago and are really glad no longer associated with such an organisation

I too hope total stupidity like that will not be reimbursed to him ! What a total $&@!* ! Make him pay !

If ever there was a reason to NOT join the CC - this is it !

wonder if chairman took part in the cc towing course, before the program??

grabs coat

To be a good caravaner you need to have all your tin foods labels facing forwards in the locker. Well I saw It I going to nip out and do It now.

It takes all sorts and which of us hasn't at sometime made a mess of reversing our Eriba or putting up an awning. These CC members were generous enough to do it for our entertainment - I quite enjoyed it.

wonder what non caravanner's think??? they may give us more space now

what ever next???
was depressed this morning by the cc, the magazine popped into the letter box and opening I was met with advertisements for special pensioners hearing aid and a funeral plan,!!!!
Do caravan club not realise some members are not of the age to need a pension?
there I thought caravanning kept you young active and added sparkle to life enabling a longer ingings.
more blue bin advert fodder..

I agree. It can't possibly have been intended to be taken seriously. We thought it was quite a jolly. I loved the fact that other people can't reverse their caravans either. We've never even tried LOL We're pushers! Loved the Welshman and his wife (sausage!) and the other wives who had never driven before. Brave to do that on TV.

I did see the last 3/4 of the program as a result of channel surfing and I sat there somewhat totally gobsmacked with my mouth open with 'WTF' going through my mind. I even had a text off a motorhome owning friend asking if I was watching to which I replied 'WTF'. But to be far to the television company and producers they have achieved one of their objectives......just look at the number of posts on the subject on our little forum. Like it or not it appears we (in the caravaning world) are talking about it! I think the Guardian's on line review (http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/...back-the-tunnel) sums it up well. All in all, the rest of the world might see it as quaintly British; eccentric and quirky!

My humble views for what they are worth!

Clippe.

I think if I manage to put my awning up in 45 mins I will be celebrating
it will have been a first time for me though in my defence!! as I have not set it up at all and have no instructions so that should be an interesting feet up moment and watch from another caravan!

caravanner of the year ?? How on earth did the CC management let that go out? We saw about 10 mins of the 1st show after being phoned by a friend (who doesn't caravan) in hysterics about the show,she thought it was a skit on caravanning!! we tried again last nite with part 2 but gave up in embarrassment after a few minutes. I think that it only served to confirm the idea that most people have of caravanners & caravanning.

If anyone saw the first episode of Bloomers, there were a few Caravaners that were typical of the urmmmm shall I say eccentric type that sometimes is portrayed.
