Do you think we will be allowed by the state to go on holiday this summer? A line I’d never think I’d write in my life but hey ho these are weird times. I don’t mean abroad as we all know that’s not happening, I didn’t realise but it’s not permitted until September 25th in the UK as things stand, all be it being reviewed every 3 weeks.....no doubts England will be allowed but maybe not Wahales:shrug:
This travel and cheap flight addict (who is meant to be landing in Kazakhstan today) thinks that getting on a plane in the next six months is sheer folly and I 'won' an auction on eBay this week for a camper van to fill the void.
Nope.Quote:

Several motorhomers on forums alert ebay to the potential scams and to be fair to ebay they do act promptly. Buyers just need to be careful by seeing and inspecting the vehicle before they buy, looking at the reccs of the seller and generally be wary by making sure the vehicle is inspected at the seller's house and not on a motorway service station or car park for example.Quote:

Old people won’t be going away....I guess the young uns might if allowed in....Quote:

It was from a local garage who used to service it for the previous owner.Quote:
