Why do people walk across other peoples pitch

My Sister lived on Crete, my cousin lived in Australia, my best friends Sister lived first in Ramallah, (Palestine) Israel, but was given 24 hours to evacuate, now lives in Troodos Mountains in Cyprus. Ex next door neighbour lives in a small fishing community away from tourist hotspots in Spain. All have tales of a different life, some good, some not so good. No different from here, with the exception of Ramallah. Daily body searches, a gun stuffed in your ribs, “payments” required to do certain things.

Some came back here, some didn’t. Good and bad everywhere. 

Agree, it’s lovely to holiday somewhere very different, very nice. But as I said a holiday is but a snapshot of reality. It was Extugger’s rose tinted view of overseas that prompted my reply, I know you are quite Worldly wise🙂

You been driving around with your eyes closed ???? check our Mar Menor for example in Spain, and for your information the Med is one of the most polluted seas in the world, and this is the latest info on the Seine

"Unfortunately, the current state of the river is not conducive to swimming – it’s so dirty that swimming is actually banned for health reasons. Célia Blauel, responsible for environment and water policy in Paris, warned Le Figaro newspaper that anyone who disobeys this rule risks ‘a nice dose of gastro and a nice big fine’. The river is thought to be polluted with E. coli bacteria, intestinal bacteria, natural pollutants and faecal matter, to name just a number of the risks."

there is a €4 billion clean up project in the pipeline ???

some sites in Spain for example LV's are parked nose to tail, I love overhere but it is not all a bed of roses

That’s not what Zebedee says.

Oh I do R2B, but it's not here, it's "over there" where the seas and rivers are not polluted with sewage, the sites spacious, uncrowded and spotless, with 5 star facilities and patrons don't walk across your pitch. As you say, it's healhy to disagree. Believe me, you're definitely not one up on me

You are more of what the RSPB would term “Summer Migrant” AD, don’t choose to live there in the Winter months......😁

Apologies extugger, I thought this was your comparison of the World away from the UK......... unpolluted nirvana, sparsely populated, ever polite and thoughtful fellow campers, everything one’s heart could desire for that 5 star experience........

Definitely rose tinted. Unless of course you don’t care to face a few realities wherever you go.......😉
