Are you referring to the many threads that were posted about the BBC television programme? Moderators were having to work overtime to stop multi threads on the same subject virtually appearing one after the other. Where there is already a main thread in place we always close and refer to the main/existing thread to avoid duplications which I would have thought was in everyones best interest? It would be helpful if members could scan through the various sections before posting so that we could avoid such duplications in the first palce.

I can see no point in duplicating threads and repeating points which are already more than adequately covered in the original thread.
It would result in overkill with so much being written that the relevance and importance would be diluted. People then wouldn't bother to read either thread which would be counter productive.

The object of the exercise is to put all the posting about the Charman's disasterous programme on one thread only . Some say to keep the forum tidy. Although others, much more cynical than me, might say it's so they can easily delete all the critical posts with one thread deletion. 
Not me you understand.

Write your comments here...wasn't trying to be clever David but I couldn't keep up with the one thread which was taking the odd turn. Has anyone heard from the club at all yet?

I feel let down. I have caravanned (and ore recently motorhomed) for 25+ years, I extol the life. I tell peolpe of what they're missing - yet no-one who is not in the know "gets it".
Their belief of caravanning was perfectly typified on Wednesday when adenoidal "experts" were expolited totally by the media to portray the pre-conceived belief.
Where are the children, the bikes, kites, the smell of bacon and eggs? How can the fun of relaxing in your outfit be advertised by a race to put up the perfect awning followed by a cup of tea. Surely this task is only done with.a stubby in your hand?
Mr Chairman - I peeked between my fingers as you damaged your van yet actually gloated - a review suggests you now have £750 worth of Wedgewood. At that point I actually left the room. Please don't brag in public, very unbecoming.
There was though a fantastic highlight, two magnificent ladies successfully reversing - Well Done.
I hope I have mis-judged this programe, I seriously hope I am wrong, but I fear the damage may have already been done.
Moderator Edit:
As this thread has developed into another repeat of the original one discussing the Caravanner of the Year Programme, it's being closed.
Please discuss the programme here.
