People's general complaints
I've just read a lengthy complaint about someone moaning about dogs and their owners. As a dog owner I do sympathise but at the same time I have found people with and without children, young and old to be equally as obnoxious. I go away for a quiet break in quiet surroundings, I don't expect children and adults (in particular) to walk across my pitch, be very loud, shout and be downright rude. Maybe everyone ought to stop watching, learning and behaving as if they are part of EastEnders and a Jeremy Kyle show.

Where would this forum be without complaints, JL?
It takes all sorts.

I'm 47 and my husband 20 years older, maybe people ought to learn a little respect and compassion for their fellow human! Its not always the youngsters that are rude, inconsiderate etc. A few weeks ago we saw a couple in their 70s in rural Lincolnshire stopping and throwing rubbish out of their window, we've stood at Kings Cross and been shocked at people of all ages throwing rubbish on the floor ( a litter picker was shocked that I went up to him and gave him my rubbish!) and in Birmingham we told children to stop vandalising artwork whilst their parents and security guards watched. When we approached the security guards all they could say is 'what can we do'??? We've taken the decision to move to France where respect for people and the planet is first. We've been in French supermarkets and listened to the rude English make comments about the French. Unfortunately for them I look French and can understand every word.

Good luck in France. I have some sympathy with what you say, but France? Respect for the Planet? You might not recall it was the French that sank Greenpeace's flagship, the Rainbow Warrior!

JL, I have sympathy and I know you’re right in many ways as aspects of some peoples' behaviour could be better but there are good people out there and it’s my belief that they vastly outnumber the bad.
It's also my belief that dwelling on the bad does us no good as individuals. We can end up with chips on our shoulders and find ourselves plunging into the depths of despair. Far better to adopt a positive attitude, concentrate on the good and, if we can, do something to improve the bad.

IT wasn't the French people, it was a political act. We Brits are equally implicated in such political atrocities which do not reflect the belief of the people of our nation. On the whole, I've found the French to be far more considerate, along with the Danes, the Germans etc. than 'we' are. Often, travelling around our island, I'm ashamed at our actions and attitudes. However, many of us do care!

This really intrigues me. How do you look French?

Probably wears a beret and smokes Galuioses.

You are correct Micky!
Actually, I like French folks. If something gets on their pip they do something about it. Fond of a revolution as well. Much better at sorting out their Government than we have ever been!

The only problem that I have with the French, is that they spit everywhere, let their dogs crap on the pavement, and leave it there for others to tread in.
So bad in Paris, they have guys going around with big vacuum cleaners, hoovering it up.
Also, they don't understand queuing in line, but push to the front.
Other than that, they are nice people 😉

As the person who moaned i find myself agreeing with you. The issue isn't just about dogs messing or lazy dog owners or annoying yapping dogs, it's about having respect for other members' and their right to enjoy peace and quiet whilst caravanning or motorhoming, or camping or whatever. If everyone thought about how the nuisance impacted on their fellow members' then maybe we wouldn't have to make these complaints??

I’ve just read a review of Hillhead site and the comments are an example of the points made in this thread. It’s an eye opener for sure.

I've just read a few reviews, it doesn't sound our sort of place!

It sounds like the site from hell judging by that review😟

indeed! Not knowing the area, what is the park the review talks about? Is it part of the site?
0 -
Definitely one that we will be avoiding, like the plague!

I have just read a bit more about the site. Had no idea Club ran such a place. I need to go and have a quiet lie down to get my head sorted.

Oh dear, another post removed. Can't really see what was wrong with what I wrote ?
Not as though I made it up, it was on the National news this morning.
Just a thought, it would be nice to have a little explanation comment put in its place as to why from whoever to understand what was wrong about it?

Thank you ET, I was beginning to think it was just me.

Hi everyone,
A polite reminder to keep this discussion politics free as we don't encourage political conversation on Club Together - it's descended into mayhem and insults in the past! Many thanks for your understanding.
FYI Milo, having looked at your post I can advise it was removed because of the last political comment, not because of other any other reason. Sorry for the confusion and hope this helps explain.
jennylinda, I'm sorry that you have had concerns on site about the actions of others. Please feel free to speak with the site staff who will always do their best to assist.

such a place?.....it's a caravan site with a pool, bar and restaurant.....
we went there for ten days in July, quiet as anything, plenty of walks, cycling etc....lovely area.
ok, the oiks were obviously out during the school holidays and if it makes this much difference then a period of security patrols might do the trick....
such a place.....don't you mean such members?
the place is fine...
i must say this struck me as one of most snobbish posts I've ever read..

as long as the oiks (ironic/moronic?) stay in such a place there won't be an issue, will there...?
