Caravan Club prices question

Cadeside is a superb stopover, or even for a longer stay. It's immaculately kept and all HS - not a bare earth pitch anywhere! It has no facility block but is worth every penny of the fee. 

No toilets to clean and no grass to cut but two wardens employed. That must be a plum staff posting.

I suppose we could adopt the French model of unkempt sites with a warden that turns up for an hour or so to collect the money. Nothing wrong in that, we use such sites when on the other side of the water. However, personally I prefer our neat and tidy sites with the increased level of security that having permanent wardens bring.  OK it may cost a bit more, but it is a cost we are willing to pay.

Or we adopt the other French model of well kept sites great facilaties and swimming pools for €16 per knight

That of course is out of season, as was my comment about unmanned, unkempt municipals. CC sites are manned and pristine whenever they are open.

I love the club sites here, the friendliness of everyone, English being spoken correctly and with a British accent that we can all understand. So I'm willing to pay the price for it, even though it has meant having to go back to work. Isn't this what feeling at home is all about? Money is not everything. It may be cheaper abroad but it's better here! Good old Blighty! I will work till the day I die if that's what it takes to be here in UK!

Hmm, there are a few British accents around that I have difficulty understanding!

Write your comments here...Well yes, there are regional dialects but they are easier to understand than foreign accents because as a caravanner in UK, you meet people from all parts of UK so all UK dialects feel homely.

Agreed K!  And I don't think it's down to both us originating from a country outside of the UK either. 

I personally have extreme difficulty with the Northumberland area accent.  I used to have problems with the Lankie accent but am now told I sound like one

Edited to say: way off topic, apologies.

Malcolm,   they do say the best English is spoken in Inverness, but I am sure there a few Scottish accents that southerners struggle with.

I would say they are accents not dialect, dialect to me means using different worrds for things.

The standard of spoken, and written, English in UK is deteriorating rapidly these days.

At least when you hear someone for example in Germany speak English, they speak it with an English-German accent (IYSWIM) , so much more correctly.

I don't think you would have any problem with my foreign accent!

Yes, OT, sorry!

Write your comments here...I've never heard your accent, KjellNN, because I've never met you in person but you certainly write perfect English.
