Caravan Club prices question

I have been here a long time......so no doubt have picked up a thing or two along the way.  Spelling in my head I still find tricky, but writing it down is easier.

I agree with KjellN that a dialect is when different words are used to describe the same thing in different parts of the country. 

Interestingly, when I'm in France and speak French, my (inborn) Dutch comes through because invariably French people will then ask: are you Dutch.

But Malcolm, you won't have any problem understanding me in English either, even though I do have a Lancashire accent

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

Are squires, retainers and stableboys included for free?

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.

Not quite. It's one pair of wardens to run a small non facility site which has grass to cut whilst they also manage a huge storage compound, maintain security and check owners and their vans in and out.

Hi everyone, Just a quick polite reminder to request that we keep this discusison on topic otherwise we may need to remove posts as we don't want to stray too far from the OP. Many thanks.

other than a six (or so) week period from mid July to end August (approx), french sites are off-peak....with ACSI you can get a pitch on a wonderfully equipped site (pools, bar, restaurant, kids play area, sports area, fully staffed etc, etc) for €11 upwards.....

in the uk, peak periods have been continually extended to 'catch' (exploit) folk so that finding a period that isnt (distantly) related to some holiday somewhere (and therefore commensutately more expensive) is increasingly difficult.

witness the introduction of 'shoulder' seasons (peak in disguise) and upto six (yes, six) price bands at a number of CC sites, some varying by a few pence but there just to squeeze the last drop from an unsuspecting wallet.....

the culture is different....the french just wont stand for being ripped off, we make a career out of it....

Write your comments here...I've heard that this may be the case in the leisure industry but if you buy a home in France and live there, it is much more costly.

We need Val to comment on that.

Well that was what we were told by Mike and Sue, the couple we met at Littlehampton Club site who sold their home in France to buy and live in their motorhome here in UK. We saw them again at Gatwick.

In France the "locals" have now started realise that it is far cheaper to live in the uk than "over there"as they have been  moving over here in their droves in recent years
