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?

We went to Gran Canaria when I was (much) younger......and while I was there I got friendly with a few other English kids, as you do.
Two of them were brothers. Richard, and Richard.
Yes, that's not a typo.
Apparently their Mum liked the name so much she called her firstborn it, and then couldn't think of another name she liked as much, so rather than have one child with an inferior name she called the second one Richard as well.
At least they weren't twins.
