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?

Butlins, Pwithelli1989 it was my first ever holiday mum booked us a chalet in the cheapest Butlins she could find. It was ok actually as they had decent amusement arcades and free snooker and pool. Entertainment was courtesy of The Barron Nights and Bernie "twat with the yellow bird" Clifton.
They had the coldest swimming pool ever, cold enough for your testicles to shrink into your stomach. They also had that wonderful 60s invention of a restaurant tact onto the side of the swimming pool, with windows so that you could see people swimming (really puts you off your food when someone starts pulling their cock out of their trunks for a quick underwater fumble)
Strangely enough for Wales it was actually quite hot, my dad wore his braces over his bare chest and got completely sunburnt, except for 2 white lines up the front and a cross on his back - typical Englishman on holiday.
3 weeks after we got home the whole place was flattened in a freak storm - which I'm sure improved the place 100%
