twooks Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Has anyone else noticed that it mainly seems to be the motorhoming fraternity wot suffers from verbal diarrhoea. Whenever I click on the 'New Threads' option it always gives me posts in Chatterbox and Motorhome Matters very little on t'others? Is that a bit sad do you think, or are we just multi-skilled and can surf post AND get Out&About.. .. .. .. :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Madge Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hi Twooks, I did not know about the "New Threads" link. So I've learnt something else today. :-D It should be quiet for the next couple of days as most of the "Odd Balls" will be at Peterborough hopefully 8-) 8-) . Thanks.

Brian Kirby Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I have a sad hunch this is an age thing! As a rough generalisation people start with tents, when they are young, broke, and carefree. Then, after they have children the tents get bigger, or they get trailer tents. When they begin to recover from the costs of house buying and having children, they go for trailer caravans for comfort and security and when, finally, the children leave home, the mortgage is reduced or paid off, and the expenses reduced, they start looking at motorhomes. Eventually, when they retire, they blue their pension lump sum on the motorhome, and spend all day talking about it on here!Hands up who's guilty!

twooks Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hi Don, welcome back. I'm on early retirement so you're partly right Brian, but most of my mates who're still working spend ages at work on 'chat' - they particularly like sending out jokes via e-mail, takes me all my time to read 'em and forward - never mind finding anything new!!

Tomo3090 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Guilty too, I'm afraid! The lump sum lasted 2 weeks! Paying off the mortgage and putting some aside until we found the right van. In total 5 & 1/2 months. But what fun!! (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
