White peg position

Does anyone know why the position of the pitch peg has been changed?  (Is it on all sites?) I don’t really want to look out onto my car from my awning and would much prefer it was behind my caravan with the caravan in the middle of the pitch.  It also means the grassed area to the side of the pitch remains unused or a s that the intention?

You seem rather fearful of being in any proximity to other people.

It’s mean to be be going on holiday, not an exercise in precision formation caravan parking.

Not in the slightest, the vast majority are brilliant but this old saying resonates.

“Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools but trouble ensues when fools consider themselves wise men and wise men act as fools!”

Now which category does Harry fit in! I think I know!🤪

And yet…..

some years ago on a CC Site, I asked the warden if I could park off the peg for ease of access and a better view. I was on a single pitch in a quite corner, on its own, the site about half full. He said no problem, so I was peg, space, caravan, car. 
Within an hour two busybodies took it upon themselves to go to the Warden and report my ‘rule breaking’. 

Now they clearly weren't driven by fear of a fiery apocalypse, the nearest pitches were across the road, and they were empty, so why do you think these two self appointed peg monitors felt the need to go complain to the warden?

Why are you bothered, I certainly wouldn’t be. The Warden approved it, so everything is fine. Relax, you are on holiday.😀

And  the warden especially came to tell you there had been a complaint?  Did you then need to move?. As I think it is all as most of your posts it seems, a figment of your ever trying to be unsuccessfully a wind up merchantcool

Well there you are Harry, point made. All you need to do is ask and if possible your wish is satisfied. Now chill out and enjoy our wonderful pastime in the knowledge that the majority just need a little protection and support from the selfish few. Now breathe and relax, after all we are on holiday.

If that’s the case you and echo have wasted a lot of time and effort in attempted dialogue with him in this thread. I think he’s just misunderstood 😎

Please let me know where this free for all site is and then I and others can give it a wide berth.  That utopia you describe calls for that wonderful attribute consideration and I’m afraid some sadly lack this. I’ve witnessed those who tip up on sites and choose to pitch however they like with their paraphernalia placed all over the place with windbreaks and barriers staking claim to land ownership all achieved with a total disregard for safety and personal comfort of neighbours. These folk, the inconsiderate although few in number, really do exist and do pitch amongst us!  Do you not realise that if you ask the site staff they will help where they can with alternative pitching if it is possible. After all, it’s the staff who will have to sort it all out when it ends in tears. Not a pleasant task and very stressful I’d bet.

We have been on some CMC and CCC sites lately where there does not appear to be any regard for safety regs or the designated area of a pitch.  We got blocked in on one site and had to ask the site manager to request that neighbouring paraphernalia as mentioned by mickysf be removed.  Regs are made to safeguard the safety of everyone and in the event of any fire incident could this affect the site insurance should any subsequent claim be made.  We all want to enjoy ourselves but when someone turns up with car, caravan, awning plus windbreak spread across more than one pitch (assuming one pitch only has been booked) it sadly does not make for a pleasant experience for neighbouring campers.
