Family HolidaysBack in the 80s when my Dad got made redundant (hello Dad!), he spent all the redundancy money on one of those big motor caravans.
Us kids loved it, apart from when my sister threw up on my sleeping bag, but looking back I'm not so sure my mum did. There was a certain tension every time the big van was even mentioned, let alone driven around France for weeks on end with her still having to cook and do all the washing.
What went wrong, what went right, and how did you survive the shame of having your family with you as a teenager?

Sunny* Wales (*RAIN)Oh the family holiday in Wales many moons ago, apart from constant rain, snoring Grandma and everyone catching terrible colds (except me) due to the damp/medieval cottage we were staying in. The highlights were watching Jean Michel Jarre's "Rendevous Houston" on a black and white tv and being told in no uncertain terms to leave the pub we were eating in by the meeting of the local Plaid Cymru fans.......at least we didn't have to pay. Never seen my dad so scared! (edit: POP!)
