    That's strange as 'Motor Caravan' is exactly what my V5 says my PVC is. Are you back tracking on your oft trotted out mantra?🤔🥴

    We had booked a stay of a week on a CL that we use regularly and had to cancel a few days before for unexpected medical appointments.

    Offered to pay, but owner said that as it is a popular CL the vacancy will be filled very quickly.

    I admit to nothing other than being a little hacked off with nit picking over names.

    It all depends how chilled you are driving. From age 18 to 30 I used to drive  HGV’s. In those days a 32 ton artic which was the max gross weight in those days had a 150 brake horse power engine and no power steering, plus the driving seat was as comfortable as a park bench.  An average days driving was about 400 miles. Today’s modern cars With auto transmission comfy seats and an engine with more bhp than the wagons of yesteryear are a pleasure to drive

    2 hrs is just advice. HGV drivers can drive for I think it is 4 hrs without a break by law. If they had to have a break every 2 hours they would get hardly anything delivered.

    I do not think "professional?"drivers would adhere to any advise if it was not a legal punishable offence ,hence the Tacho

    Is that all profesional drivers

    Fact is they are allowed by law to drive for more than 2 hours  There were no Taco's when i was an HGV driver.

    It's not the driving that I'm bother about but all the idiots on the road that think they are the reincarnation of Stirling Miss for speed and Jeremy Clarkson for manners!!😁

    I just take them in my stride and laugh at them. In my time driving I have learnt what is called defensive driving.

    I've been sat behind a fair few in the middle lane for mile after mile before they realise their overtake was never going to happen in a million years. I very recently had a tipper waggon start an overtake about 1/2 mile before his junction, up hill and then when alongside me (I was towing) blast his horn for ME to slow down so he could leave the motorway. Unfortunately the batteries were little low in my crystal ball & I hadn't a clue what he was sounding his horn for. The penny dropped when he braked hard so he could get behind me to leave at the junction that was now on my left.
