Apparantly the programme "has given our pastime a massive boost".

Now, I thought it was a harmless (if pointless, but nothing unusual there, these days) programme.......but by no stretch could I describe it as a 'massive boost'.

It probably confirmed the suspicions of any non-caravaners that this is a weird sort of pastime and put the backs up of a lot of supporters of the pastime......and that's about as much as I could say about it.

Where is this "massive boost" going to come from I wonder? Because I can't honestly imagine thousands of non-caravanners watching those programmes and thinking "you know what, I really fancy having a go at that!" Wink

Perhaps the Editor should watch it again. It's on BBC 2 later tonight.

My initial thought was "what planet are they on?". It's hardly surprising given the total lack of explanation regarding the fiasco of this forum over the past week. I would expect to see Nick Lomas traversing East Grinstead High Street on his knees and clad in sackcloth at the very least.

Haven't received ours yet, maybe tomorrow....?

But come on, V9, give us a clue!

Well mate it appears the ED has been watching a different version of COTY than the one that prompted well over a hundred pages of comments.Am i surprized ? no not really its just another example of how out of touch the management seem too be with general opinion.

It is pretty obvious that the powers that be at EG haven't even got the brains to know when to stop digging the very deep hole they have already got themselves into.

I dont kow about any body else, but the forum being down was a complete non event and made no difference to my life. 

Nobody died or nobody fell ill due to the Forum outage.

I'm sure the CC IT staff were working hard to find the cause of the intermittant faults and should be thanked for their efforts.
