bristol170kj Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Evening all! We are camped on a site close to Denia. Last week saw us south of Alicante. We can count on one hand the number of British vans and caravans we have seen. The site we are currently on has started to fill in the last couple of days, with Dutch, German, French and Spanish caravans. But no English. We are moving on on Wednesday morning northwest of Valencia and not expecting to speak English until we get back home in July. The weather is hot and the sea is refreshing.

Len Salisbury Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 You refer to no English. I am British but Welsh and could be in Spain but we are not, until next month. Cymru am Byth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxli Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hi I'm British, but my MH is Swiss registered. I've met other Brits driving foreign registered MHs too! Don't assume the number plate determines nationality of driver. Once one strolled over and asked me if I spoke English and I answered in my best West Midlands accent. (Does that count as British or is it Anglo Saxon?) That surprised him! Greetings from Switzerland Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Joe90 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Always follows the same pattern I've noticed, apart from the Dordogne and the Loire regions we see very few UK number plates. Currently in the Alsace, parked this evening in Obernai, and have been wandering around south east France since mid May, have only seen one UK reg. At one particular tourist attraction a French guy actually asked us why so few English, no doubt meaning all Brits make it down their particular neck of the woods, which was in the Doubs, I simply had no answer, except to say they didn't know what they were missing. Can't say that I particularly miss them though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
