Motorhomes & Campers CLEAR OFF!!

Yawn, yawn, as yet another thread gets hijacked by Frank - pedant of the year.

 

Does it really matter?

 

And who else cares anyway?

You're right. Pelmetman hasn't said much has he! *-)

 

But you've done it again and proved me right. Jumped in to a thread to add nothing, but simply to attack someone.

 

I rest my case! Thank you. (lol)

 

Cheerio. ;-)

Cheaper than what else was available CC or otherwise when we were looking for a site in "Cornwall"...........and met our requirements of a site that was within walking distance of a nice town or two, as Marizion did ;-)................

 

As when you add the £6.50 return bus ride into Oban to the already more expensive campsite, then things start to add up Frank...................that's almost 6 pork pies 8-)...............

 

 

 

 

But it isn't cheaper than the CC site in Cornwall, it's more expensive. Perhaps you did have problems adding up? I think there are definitely some pork pies here.

 

And here's another tip. If a chum suggests that you stay the night on a noisy motorway services that costs £17 tell him not to be stupid and find a CL, a site or even a nice lay bye to spend the night. It's not rocket science. Well, for most of us anyway.

 

You really must learn to think for yourself.

 

I'm off now but whilst I'm out get out the CC book and add up what the costs are for the nearest sites to Marazion. You'd better get a calculator as you've got it wrong up to now.

 

I'll test you when I get back.

 

You forget Frank the CC site you highlighted is further out of Marizion along a dodgy road and has no facilities ;-)........................do try and compare like with like Frank *-)......................

 

You maybe used to pulling the wool over your customers eyes with your spin tactics ........ but they don't work on here :D................The majority on here have seen through you Frank >:-)...............

Can't help you there, but you can weigh the van for free on the isles of Scilly Steamship weighbridge (on the main road opposite Penzance Harbour). I think they only open in the mornings but they leave it switched on 24/7 and you can see the display through the office window when they are closed. You might be able to work out the weight of water swilling around under your shower tray ;-)

I see, so a site that costs several pounds less but is in a different place is actually more expensive? Mmmm, very odd logic. But what about the full service CC site that I also quoted in Cornwall, which is still cheaper? That's what we call comparing like with like. Economics isn't your strong point is it?

 

As for the nasty comment about pulling the wool over my customers' eyes, I don't, which is why my business is still growing.

 

What caused the failure of your pelmet and pouffe business? Pulling the wool over your customers' eyes, shoddy workmanship, high prices, or a combination of all three perhaps?

 

Although I suspect from this thread that you probably couldn't add up their bills properly, just as you have problems working out how much sites cost!

 

I think you should give up whilst you're losing, don't you? ;-)

 

Seventeen pounds to stay on a motorway services eh? What an astute businessman. You really had the wool pulled over your eyes there. (lol) (lol) (lol)

 

This is fun! The words fish shooting and barrel keep coming to mind! (lol) (lol)

Ah, now I see. When you recommended a site in Cornwall to another member and told him that it was 'much cheaper' than a CC site you meant a CC site in Scotland! Is that your definition of comparing like for like? ;-) A bit odd as the CC sites in Cornwall were cheaper.

 

Now I know why the pelmet business went downhill. Your 'quality' customers asked you for a quote for pelmets in the dining room and you priced up for the sitting room. Or even the wrong house?

 

As well as this excellent and well-thought-out site recommendation he's lucky I suppose in that you didn't recommend a nice motorway services for him to overnight on his way down. The barrel's getting smaller and the fish seems to be growing. (lol) (lol)

No, we don't sell much made in the UK but we appear to be offering a service that thousands of people want. How's that new laptop that you bought recently? British made I presume? ;-)

 

Anyway, I'm pleased that you're turning away lots of business for the more rewarding exercise of posting on here almost every day. Remind me, if the pelmet business was going so well and you were turning away business, why did you need to set up a whole new enterprise, complete with website, for making and selling pouffes? >:-)

 

Possibly to give you the opportunity to turn away a whole new customer demographic . (lol)

I feel awful and will close the business as soon as possible and I hope that all the other retailers of cars, motorhomes and other imported goods will do the same. The economy will then flourish. Oh, except for the mass unemployment of course! ;-) Then there'll be the riots because people can't buy their Chinese laptops. (lol)

 

There is a school of thought you know that thinks you're a hypocritical idiot. Your laptop isn't a 'must-have gadget' whatever that is, so that's OK then? (lol)

I'm sure I said before Frank, but I started the pouffe business to provide an income so we could go full timing, as being web based and subbing out the work I could operate it whilst on the move ;-)......................As a business model it works..............but unfortunately its still requires too much work from my point of view 8-).............so I've passed it on to someone else to run :D........

 

But its there in case I ever get the urge to have a career.............which seems unlikely........ as unlike you I do not need something to brag about :D...............

Yes, it's clear that I'm driven by filthy Mammon. A bit like a man who starts a pouffe business so he can make even more money to enable him to do what he wants. But of course we all know that what Dave Pelmet does is the only correct way. Whether it's buying consumer goods or working.
