I don't scare that easily - I'm usually incapable of thinking far enough into the future to see the potential consequences of my actions but the night I got a lift home from my local with a car full of gypsies and then they stopped at a field in the middle of nowhere was a bit of a smelly one

Seriously, I would love an RV. I would like to travel for months in one ....hate being stuck in the same place all the time.

F****ing pillocks!!!!

Think you'll find that UK trucks have electronic speed limiters set at 56MPH (90 KMPH) and thats why it takes trucks a bit longer to pass each other you impatient weekend warrior!!!

Soon sorted out by flashing the moron with all of my lights and fog lights. Particularly effective when it is dark.
You don't realise how many idiots are let loose behind the wheel, until you start driving for a living!
RV drivers are tolerable, provided they stay in the right lane, and don't choose to hog the middle lane.

Re: Would you RV ?
We flew over to Florida and bought an RV, a 34ft Damon Intruder in fact and had it shipped back to the UK.American RV's cost a fortune here and as we spend a few weekends away from home we wanted to be comfortable.Its the same with RV's as it is for houses...much more space in an American RV than an English motorhome er sorry "box"!!
Its really a "home from home" now and the thought of cooking,washing etc in anything smaller horrifies me...my husband and i are not exactly short!!
