    What you are quoting CS is the Fire Serivce take on the recommendation put forward for local authorities to use based upon fire tests and trials that took place in the late
    50's early 60's.  I'm not qualified to say whether or not they are still vaild but MH's, C/van's, and Tents, etc. have changed somewhat and I do wonder.  That said I have no wish to camp any closer to my neighbours than necessary and rules
    is rules     Undecided.  Incidentally do we still dunk witches?  I understand the
    necessary laws are still in place     Winking.

    Wouldn't they have still been using gas mantles then. A lot less safe than modern LED's. Although on the plus side I don't suppose many folk caravaned all year round. So not much use of lights and heating appliances. Cookers apart from you have to hold the
    control knob in until it has ignited, have probably not changed much.

    Write your comments here... If you look at the fire at Broadway the two adjacent units did not catch fire but were damaged. This suggests that the spacing was only just enough to prevent the fire spreading so it cannot be reduced.

    Yes, that's pretty much what the warden said and why the wardens insist on correct spacing even more so now.

    With the added bonus that you don't get your neighbour crowding you.....Laughing

    We are off to a CC site soon, only total of 57 pitches overall. Have just checked availability for over our period of stay, showing at least 30 pitches available each of nights we are there, so we will be happy well spaced bunnies! Unless of course someone
    desperately in need of company pitches up next to us!Happy

    Bound to happen....herding instinct of some members.

    Corners, what about the Witches question-I'm interestedLaughing

    The 1735 Witchcraft Act was repealed in 1951 and replaced by the Fraudulent Mediums Act. A useful snipet for all you pub quiz aficianados.

    I have lost count of the times this same subject has been ...err... discussed.  If this one continues as long as the others there are many more pages and repeated comments and arguments to go.  Sad really but its the nature of this forum and its restrictions
    and limitations. 

    Yes, but no, but.. pantomime season is upon us Tongue Out

    It's a good thread, not drivel. Got us thinking about a site we haven't been to for a long time, so much so that we are determined to get there in the New Year. Space to enjoy yourself, remain safe, privacy, been one of our top priorities for years. Only
    time we have had holidays less than perfect has been to do with spacing (and on one occasion road noise). It is one of the reasons we tend to use CLs more nowadays at busy times, but if you know some of the sites well you can time your visit, pick your pitch.
    We all have different interpretations of spacing, the trick is to pick your site and pitch appropriately. One person's acres of elbow room is another person's tight squeeze! Club do a decent job of trying to get a quart into a pint pot most times, even if
    tape measures are required!
