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?

JimbobWhen I went away with ALL my family to Spain (camping), my uncle offered me and my cousin his tent for the night so that we could stay up late and not piss off everyone else. But before we went to bed we went for a drink and on our way back to the campsite me and Bekah, the cousin, kept chanting 'Jimbob Sweaty-knob' at our uncle. To get back at us, he pulled out the sleeping bags, chucked them in the pool, and then proceeded to pull down his tent. We didn't speak to him for the next week. But it worked out okay in the end cause our nana told her transvestite friend to try and pull the uncle. I've never laughed so hard since.
