I have noticed a trend of CLs which are tight on space. I put it down to the growing number with hard standings and EHUs and presume they are minimising the cost of installing EHUs by avoiding long cable runs. It would be great if all our inspectors stressed the pitch distances more vigourously. I do search out the more basic sites without EHUs where the spacing is more like the old times with loads of room often pitching where you want.

I do wonder why you posted here, SubE. It can't be for the good of other members as you refuse to name the site even though you claim you are being factual. Neither can it be to alert CC as you have contacted them directly. 

Perhaps it would have been better to keep quiet rather than tell half a story. Nobody has gained anything from your tale and you've left us wondering if the next CL we visit may be THAT CL.

So Sub-E, if Tinwheeler (for example) puts on here in writing that I contribute to CT then you think I can successfully sue him for damages even though it is true?

I think you'll find in the T&Cs that the CC will pass on your details to third parties if you name them and litigation is involved. In other words, you are responsible for your posts. If someone doesn't want to name names on here no-one should insist they do and it's probably better to discuss the matter with the CC first rather than cause concern, in this case, about an unknown CL.

I don't see anyone insisting, Brue. The point is that no one can be successfully sued for being factual and telling the truth so, if SubE is sure of his facts, he has nothing to fear. However, it's his choice. 

As you said, it's best to raise the matter with CC first which reinforces my other point that the posts are meaningless with only half a story being told. It would have been better to say nothing if he wasn't prepared to tell the full story.

I can understand why you'd want to keep that little gem quiet, Nav, but that's the gist of it.

If you could be sued for giving an opinion, how do those Tripadvisor reviews and reviews on virtually every on-line retailer survive then?

I think some of you live sheltered lives Smile and haven't seen the camping fields at festivals like Glastonbury. Six metre spacing would be laughed at. 

the spacing for caravans and MH at car fest south was exemplary.  Marked out pitches etc
