Just returned from a very pleasent weekend away in our motorhome. The site operated allocated pitches, all fine.

We were just about on get to our pitch when the chap opposite pulled out in front of us. He then proceeded to hook up his caravan and carry out all the usual checks. At no time did he seem to be aware of us.

After we had set up the new residents of said pitch opposite arrived in their car/caravan. He proceeded to back the caravan into the pitch. The car blocking most of the road. There they left it and went off for a lengthy walk around the site. They returned
15minutes later and transferred to another pitch.

Is it me? or is there a strange force around this pitch

    On Southport site last year one bloke was getting ready to leave. He hitched up and left his car completely blocking the road for at least three quarters of an hour. He seemed to be the most disorganized feller I've ever seen..

    Some people seem to be completely unaware that anyone else exists outside of their head......

    I have often seen situations, where freed from enforceable legal requirements, anarchy and complete oblivion to other people's needs emerges. The Lord Of The Flies was truely prophetic. Civilisation exists on a knife edge. See arguments here on CT with advanced
    booking. Self interest is widespread. The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins can make interesting reading, even if a bit hard going.

    Come now, folks - lets think about this -  if these people did not exist then we might have to complain about you, what you are wearing, your dialect, your  inability to set up site within say15 mins. Whatever happened to 'sang froid' the british way of
    living!

    Just arrived back from Hillhead, on the day we arrived the caravan in front of us stopped on the one way system, between two hedges, just where no one else could get passed. They then had a discussion with friends in the caravan in front of them. All the
    while we, and everyone else, waited while they chose a pitch. We waited so long that someone who was leaving late came over and said they were going and would we like their pitch. Quite a nice pitch actually, one that we might have otherwise missed, so they
    did us a favour. It wasnt until afterwards that I came to think they were actually blocking the road on purpose to stop anyone else getting pitches further into the site until they had picked theirs.
