TW, I know I'm a little thick (rhetorical) but what is a toad? At first it made me chuckle - the idea of a real toad?

My apology, Corners. It’s a generally accepted term amongst those MH-ers who tow cars. 

Say it out loud - toad/towed 🐸😀

On tow it will bear the MH's reg but travelling solo it will show its own reg.

Yes certainly if it keeps smaller sites that are perhaps non viable or run by volunteers (does that still happen?) then another good reason.

What about over there visitors? does ANPR work with those?

The information about the trial covers visitors/ second cars and the associated charges. The registration of toads I presume will need the same procedure although, as now, without extra charges.

Sorry Corners, now I see the over there bit, I presume you mean over t’watter!👍
My comment was really about the trial and associated ‘things’!😉

No worries at all, yes I meant those with foreign registration plates.

If they are trying to get the booking / entrance system to be automatic they are certainly going about it the hard way. ANPR is a brilliant concept but in this application is not the answer.  Inshallah, in two days I shall enter a CCP site simply by waiving my card bought for 5 euro and good for life, at a reader; a bit like the CC Ltd barrier cards.  The difference is my card is preloaded by me with credit.  Once on site I will have 24 hours for the site price.  If I leave within that time my credit will be reduced by that site price 24 hours after my first entry.  If I stay longer the clock starts ticking down on the next 24 hours and so on.  So so simple.
