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?

With friends, not family.... but since when did we stick to the topic on b3ta?
We were staying in New York and checked into what we christened "Hotel Armageddon". We had to wait 45 minutes to be given a room, which was horrible. We asked for towels at the front desk, and started filming the manager there. Had he known, he probably wouldn't have told us he'd kicked out some drug addicts to make space for us. We were sharing a bathroom with their friends, so we promptly found somewhere else to stay.
Another Brit came down to complain about the lack of blankets whilst we were filming...
