The Pointless Page

Have found being a member of both clubs useful over the years, increased choice of sites etc.

Had a nice Autumn walk this morning, peaceful after a busy few days.  (the phone photo sizing has changed, must stick to 500 now)

Only home 24 hours and Broadband gone down. Just spent the last hour with BT trying to identify problem. Their advice? Unplug everything and put them back in one by one (any other way?) to see which socket/plug/microfilter is causing the problem. 

Broadband now working without any of said items jumping up and identifying itself. Grrr. Maybe they just wanted some attention.

We thought that being a member of the C&CC pointless as we didn't use any of their sites for the last two years of being a member. We didn't really like the huge hike in price a couple of years ago, nor their 5 van sites either. We've not missed being a member as we are now finding many more CLs, and a few small commercial sites, that are to our liking.

We might find the same. Nellie. It really depends on the areas we choose to tour next year and the location of their 100 sites. Usually (after the first hop) I like to keep the sites around 60 to 70 miles apart on my routes. 

I doubt that I will be using their forum. Don't like posting under my own name. Simply because I am known as Easy T on various forums. From a security point of view many members on there might be in the 'phone book' and traceable. Not a good idea if they are saying that they are off to Spain for 5 weeks etc. Maybe not a great risk as profiles carry no location risk or much info. Made a post on there about avatars yesterday and I seem to be one of 13 forum posts for the day!

I liked your comment about the C&CC forum being worse than this one!!!  Like you I am not happy about having my full name bandied about the internet, however one thing I would say for it is that you rarely get the run ins between individuals because people can't hide behind anonymity. Given that the C&CC obviously saw what happened here in the early days before they started their own forum  they decided on a different route?
