I can't understand

Perhaps we are just unlucky but I find it strange that you can be on a half empty club site and you find that when a new van arrives that they choose the pitch right next to you, or, as has just happened, the pitch right in front of you so that we are now both looking through each others window. Maybe I'm  just being anti social.

    It also happens when you've just bought a new car and choose the emptiest part of the car park, furthest away from the shops, totally empty, tumbleweed blowing about. You park it there and come back to find a clump of cars parked right there.

    I think it’s the herding instinct.

    It’s far worse on a lovely big beach.........Empty except for us. Hour later three families roll up, three babies on full yell, four toddlers running around screaming, six adults loudly extolling the virtues and vices of disposable versus reusable nappies (lunch time, 🤢we weren’t amused).

    Meanwhile, acres of empty beach. We moved...........😡

    Obviously, jembell, you had the best pitch on the site and they wanted the next best.laughing

    We were on the beach at Weston Super Mare a few weeks back when some clown parked up next to us in his home made Jeep. Radio on and then started rabbiting on to someone about how the ozone was a load of bull****. We moved up the beach!

    It may mean that you have picked one of the best pitches and they want the same position. To be fair if a site is fairly empty we would normally use the busier area although we look for what to us looks the best pitch rather than worry about being on the next pitch.

    That happens in Car parks as well, it s as though someone wants to be close to others.🤗
