Tomo3090 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 What's the biggest/daftest thing you have bought for or you have in your van? Mine was spending money on a Status TV ariel when we were having a satelite dish fitted a few weeks after we picked the van up. Why did I do that?

crinklystarfish Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Can’t really add anything amusing because: 1) I’m from Yorkshire/>, and 2) I’m not stupid.I did once buy one metre extra of low pressure gas piping that I didn’t actually need. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be asking everyone on here either later this week or early next week if they want anything that I am going to clear out. Prices will vary from "collect yourself" to "pay the postage" I have three different awnings for a start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Rich, you're confused again, you're thinking of the Welsh and being humorous. I know it's a struggle for you, all these words with vowels and all.

Yes, otherwise you couldn't have thought of such a witty response.Syd,As a man of otherwise sound judgement with an unswervingly well balanced view on morality, I have just one observation.NEVER look at one of those catalogues that contain such useful consumer items as chin-gyms, pens that convert into fishing rods, and welly dryers.

Carol,Rich and I enjoy a bit of a gentle pop at one another. He made a joke about where I'm from, so I did the same back. My joke played on the fact that Welsh people aren't very humorous and have a bit of a struggle with a language that contains vowels.I was wrong and I'm sorry.
