On a serious note, ages ago, I said I'd contribute towards something or other on the forum, but can't remember the details and also need an address to send cash. I deal only in cash so need a safe-house address or PO Box Number. If we can get this sorted, I'll send £40 squid. Reason? I like the forum. Btw, why do I still look in at the other place? Because 'tis so unbeliavable and awful ( must be deliberate on the part of the script-writers, imo) that I find the inevitable conflict exciting. That's the main reason: excitement and entertainment. The second reason is to attempt to counterbalance the hard-core of activists who are hellbent on taking over the place in order to further their own agenda. sean rua ps the money ain't much, I know, but 'tis about the same as I'd pay to the place I left, so 'tis no skin off my nose. Only thing is I don't get half the abuse now I'm here. |

Very generous Sean.
I too find some of the arguments irresistible to look in on and can't help by throwing in the odd comment! In fact I've just posted one about your own fair country, about a bad experience I had in Kilkenny. Not slating off the whole of Ireland north or south, but I bet that is how they will see it.
As it goes following the incident concerned we retired to a pub in Bennets Bridge and watched the Hurling finals (Kilkenny were in the finals). We had a great time in there and I would return to that particular pub, but not Kilkenny town!

That's very generous of you Sean I'll PM you my address and make sure cash gets to Carol. We probably may get one of those expanding marquee things so at least if it rains when we meet up, we'll have somewhere to sit instead of inside the vans staring at condensation and listening to drips! |

Made a purchase for forum business cards from Vistaprint. Got 2000 for 29.99. Went for 7 day delivery so we get them for the two North/South meets of Ham Hill and Ribblehead. Thanks to Angie for full bleed size artwork which fitted perfectly! Anyone who wants them can have 25 initially to pin up in friendly pubs (ask first), bothies, and give away to people they meet wild camping. Total order value £42.29 inc VAT and 7 day delivery I have £40 I'm owing kitty and will pick up the extra £2.29 myself. Thus we can call it quits and forum funds stand at £202  |

Well Done! Can't We pay for the cards that We take?...Split it so that We pay a quid for the 25. Funds get a boost this way!...

You can give donation if you want, feel free, that would be great But you're quite welcome to have them for nothing. I think they work out at 2p each, LOL. The window stickers will probably cost us £2.60-£3.00 each so we'll have to charge about £3.00-£3.50 for those to cover costs. |

Hi all Vernon's sums all correct, now have £277 in the safe |

Hi we nearly always freecamp - old age pension gives loads of leisure time but too little money to pay camp site fees. 
The van has solar panel, large water tank So we are pretty self sufficient. Jon
