Aye, seen it. I'll not be.

You're assuming I have any say in the matter Cheers though, noted My parents were proper trendy buggers in the early 1960s, involved in the Club A Go Go, used to go on European tours in VW campers and that. On one tour they met an Italian family from Trento, and used to visit them when they went on trips. Anyway, fast forward to 1971, I'm three, parents haven't been away since my older brother was born (1965), so we all load up the car ( an estate Vauxhall I think) and head off for a fortnight's drive. Ferry to Calais, through Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and into Italy. What little I remember of the journey is waking up one morning in the Black Forest and seeing Roe Deer feeding around the car ( we kipped in the back of the car, parents had a tent), and driving down through what I later realised was the Dolomites, being amazed at the sheer cliffs and switchbacks. When we got to the Italian crew, my older brother apparently kicked off when the father kissed my Dad, Godfather style, on greeting us , and he refused to speak to Papa Gennaro for the entire holiday Aaaanyway, the point of this ramble is that the strongest memory I have of the trip is of me and my brother , pedalling a Swan pedallo at night on a boating lake in Lido de Jesolo. I have no idea if they still have them, ( the Swan boats),but if they do I can recommend them to CT, they'll keep you happy got a good hour

Mrs. Fist opened a conversation the other day with, " So, I had an idea about a holiday, wondered what you thought?" This translated is. " We are going to Disneyland Florida with my sisters and their broods in 2015. I've already spoken with them and we are booking a villa for us all. Start saving". Anyone fancy a swap? I'm no bother- I'll just sit in the corner and you can feed me wine and bacon.....

And yet, drink Guinness ....

How did you cope on holiday before the internet?

Cheers gents.

CT nips across the road on holiday for an emergency pizza

Aye, back at it. I was absolutely paggered the first week back, but getting back to normal. Losing some excess timber is helping too

That's older than Noelie

Good work Tom! Chin up Brock and HMHM

CT on his way to A & E. Unexpected day off tomorrow , so a chicken and lentil Tagine is getting some slow oven time, and I'm going on a soup frenzy.

IKEA I'd say, going by the chairs and "storage boxes".

Thought so

You'll need some wider chairs.

Did you start this thread whilst curling one out Gloomy?
