I know my rights because I have researched what I can & can’t do. The only folk I am the enemy of are those who try to tell me I can’t ‘do or say or be’ because they erroneously believe they have power, they don’t yet they do try to wield what they don’t have. I was once accosted-by placing his hand in front of my phone/camera whilst I was in a shopping precinct. He told me it was illegal to record to which I told him he was wrong. This security guard well overstepped his own company’s guidelines. Eventually when the precinct manager was called I got an apology. I was taking a picture of my granddaughter(outside the store) holding the gift of her choice she’d bought with money we’d given her for her birthday. Btw I asked the store manager if I could take a pic. I’m not good with authoritarians.

I would think that the security of of the premises, was more of a worry to the security person ,as has been seen with how some in society are looking to inflict harm to others ,
As many of us who have had many years of public facing responsibilities ,,the softly softly approach ,,on many occasions is met with an abusive "I Know My Rights". attitude
And can be seen more often these days notices to the effect that "photography and filming is not allowed on these premises"

It’s a very broad spectrum of folk that declare their rights, Rocky. At one end the understanding and considerate ones and at the other those that truly don’t understand and deliberately abuse them. Often people misunderstand the difference between laws, rules and guidance and fall foul of applying their ‘belief’ in their rights to all of these, occasionally to the detriment and the rights of others.

Posted on 30/04/2022 14:20 by brueOn Motorhome Fun there are rules, including "do not post defammatory comments."

There may be rules on MHF, but they are not policed.
I have seen threads on there so unbelievably extreme that I was genuinely shocked because I did not know that there could possibly be a place, other than in the dark web, where such views could be on open display.

Following on from Rowena's post, what are members views on the "last arrival" time. Whilst I can understand that it may be undesirable to have people 'clattering around' too late, would a 9pm cut-off be realistic although, of course, this may impinge on wardens working hours. Equally those who go out for the day may well arrive back significantly later than 8pm. We may therefore deduce that it isn't really 'traffic reduction' but rather enabling the poor old wardens to be able to sit down after a long day.

Im glad Im not a member in those circumstances. However I will note that the original MHF poster did not use such an extreme thread title as the one used on here. Other than that CAMC have answered which some will be interested to read.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. Its a subscription forum, £15 a year. For that sort of fee some will feel entitled to say what they want and how they say it? I doubt there is any incentive for the owner to intervene providing posts remain within the law, after all they wouldn't want to loose their livelihood? I am equally sure there are many decent and knowledgeable paid up contributors who are equally concerned about how some post on that forum.
I notice that someone has copy and pasted Rowena's reply on Motorhome Fun.

With good reason, I think 9p.m. is not unduly late, after all quiet time is after 11p.m.. Evening revelers could be coming back up until that time. I have experienced delays beyond 9.pm. and after the initial phone call, not well received, I have subsequent received a cheery welcome after further calls and when the Warden realised what had happened.

Posted on 03/05/2022 09:59 by RowenaFurther to your post, we have been in contact with our site team who explained that they had been advised that there would be an arrival on site approximately 7.45pm - 8.00pm, unfortunately by 8.30pm the members to which are referred to n the Motorhome Fun discussion had not arrived and a courtesy call was made to them, to which they received no answer. When the friends arrived at 9.10pm it was explained to them that unfortunately they could not go onto site due to the lateness of their arrival and even though the site does not have a late night arrivals area, they were found a place to park for the night with full access to the facilities. At no time were they told they would have to wait until 1.00pm to check in the following day and were checked in soon after the office was open the following morning.
Unfortunately, we appreciate that members are late arriving on site, however we do have to consider the disturbance it would cause others staying and affecting their comfort and convenience.
