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?

Flashing at the mother in lawThis year, camping again, this time in Cornwall with the family (wife, kids, brother-in-law, and parents-in-law). Been down at the beach on the only day at the end of July that gave us any decent weather. Still got the swimming shorts on, can't be bothered to go up to the loos to change and don't won't to change in the tent and dump a load of sand on my sleeping bag. Everyone else was supposedly around the front of the parent-in-laws caravan so I decided to go around the back, drop me trolleys, root around with the towel and put me kacks back on. Just dropped the shorts when the mother-in-law walks around the caravan the otherway. No doubts about what she saw.
