Well as the subject doesn't seem to have reared its ugly head yet this year, I thought I would start things off >
It occurred to me the other day, whilst having a moments contemplation about Mrs P's and my forthcoming 6 week trip, that of all the incidents of "aledged" gassing over the preceding years seem to have involved only motorhomes and not a single caravan, which struck me as being somewhat perverse! I accept that we tuggers are barred from Aires but I have, in the past, seen caravans whose owners are clearly overnighting (on the supposedly terribly unsafe) motorway service areas.
Can it be that tuggers are viewed as being the poor relations of MH'ers with nothing worth stealing??
Yeah bloody Peasants!! The Gassers know that Tuggers do not have Rolex watches and €3000 lying around in cash which it seems is exactly what all Motorhomers who are "gassed" seem to have.
It has aledgedly happened to campers in tents at the same time as motorhomers on the same sites but be careful as there is a huge can of worms just waiting to be opened on this subject.
You don't want to be doing that in a tent, I once put a can of beans on a camp stove, with just a small hole in top in case fell off, talk about vesuvios, worms would make a bigger mess I think.
Well I must admit to being somewhat sceptical about such stories but then one night it happened to us and we almost passed out but survived and where most surprised that our newly installed gas alarm had not gone off but then we remembered we had had mushy peas with our fish and chips so panic over.
Baguetteand pain au chocolat for brekky in Boulogne this morning, no migrantsto be seen or run over on the way to Eurotunnel, large dog runningloose and possibly killed at the Pet Passport Office, bl**dy touristsholding up the queues at check-in, Passports okay despite wife havinggrown a beard on holiday, ten minute wait before being let on thetrain, Eurotunnel guy banged his head on my wing mirror before I hada chance to pull it in, long wait at Dartford to go through tunnelbut not as long a wait as those going t'other way as Police hadstopped traffic moving on the other carriageway before the bridge,220 miles in four hours with only two stops for a cuppa, unloaded MH,wine now carefully maturing at home, enough mucky clothes to fill awashing machine a dozen times, Chinese takeaway in an hour or so andfirst time watching tele in three weeks - and now someone mentionsgassing!
Nah Cabby, it's like London buses, you wait around for hours and suddenly loads come along at once.....:crying::grin2::wink2::surprise::nerd:
exactly the same with Referendum threads..... you wait for years and years and then suddenly along comes about 50 all at once (but they all have the same non-news in them) :frown2::frown2::frown2::frown2::frown2:
We should all look forward to the day when Mrs May triggers article 50 then let the posts re-start. This year, Next year, or maybe she will never do it.
Bet you all cannot wait. Typing fingers at the ready.. (or in my case typing finger)

Just to prove Ploddy's point. Many moons ago, when we were wet behind the ears, we had an intruder enter the van in the early hours whilst overnighting on a service station. We had four tuggers for company and not one of them were touched!
Hound from hell is a definite deterrent. Swap him for a budgie and you might get some action Sandra!! As for the cash and jewels, put a sticker on the screen saying "stop and gas me, valuables under the drivers seat". Works for me!:laugh::laugh:
The one very important feature that you should appreciate about Sandra is that she is as honest as it is possible to be - she would make a lousy politician as she speaks from the heart and tells the truth (neither of which could be claimed of many politicians).
Rest assured she would never ever try to pull the wool over any insurance company eyes - she never has and such an action would be totally alien to her mindset.
And I am NOT joking but mean every part of that..... she is one person that can be totally relied upon for honesty.
