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?

Oh yes -and my Dad, whether now when he's on holiday abroad with my mum, or when he was dragging us along the seafront looking for a meal, always used to look at all the menus outside each restaurant, trying to work out which one is cheapest. Three mile amble along the seafront later we find ourselves back outside the first one 'cos it looks the nicest' which by coincidence has steak and chips for 50p less than all the others...
