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?

Holiday nightmaresI can't remember a bad holiday but can remember someone who was having one, before it started.
We pulled in to a service station for fuel and, as we were leaving, I saw the most desparate site on Gods earth. A guy pulled in driving an old style volvo estate, the roof loaded with luggage with what can only be described as a resigned look on his face. The car had four back windows, all open, all occupied by a rather sad looking childs' face.
congealing on both sides of the car were four rivers of puke; some fresh, some dried on.
A family driving holiday with four dreadfully car sick kids. I can't imagine anything worse.
