Very nice, but there's a problem. I've looked at the spec and there's no mention of a year's suppl of toilet paper.

To quote Arnold Rimmer "one up one down and one to polish....."

GHT, a man of your means must have at least one shower in his home, so repurpose lavatory paper that would - under normal circumstances - have served in the smallest room into the caravan, then take a combined number two / shower session when in residence at Château GHT. Simple!



Rich, supplies of breakdown trucks seem to be drying up because some greedy feckers are buying the things in lots of four, just in case..

If I really have to rough it then I would rather rough it in this: There again, it's a bit small so I might just go for this: But it wouldn't take much arm twisting to buy this baby: But whatever you buy you just know that:

Sorry if ive neglected my duties gentlemen

What cracked me up in the Renault write up was "des cookies." DeGaulle would turn in his grave. He hated borrowing from another language, especially English, worse, American English. It's why you're stuck with the five syllable: 'radiographie.' DeGaulle just wouldn't tolerate x-ray.

Hmm, just as well he wasn't in the habit of breaking his bones in foreign countries then. What about "Le weekend?" Would de Gaulle not be grateful to the English language for that one? Think about it; he's leaving his favourite watering hole on a Friday afternoon after a busy day of being shot at, policy making and travelling about in DSs with missing wheels, then his colleague asks him what he intends to do between then and the Monday.. "I have no plans for the 48 hour work interval this week, Bruce," he would have said. All the while pondering on how to remove that spot of clumsiness from his beloved language.

Aye, Charlie boy, people in glass houses, etc.

Liking that little Renault truck, if the shiny dashboard is anything to judge by, it seems to have been well cared for. Imagine how good that could look though.. With the bed removed and replaced by a nice Sprite Major (it's a caravan ) body of the same period. Oh yes, motorhome heaven.

Just no pleasing some French folk
I quite like the older pickup but its a bit too complicated trying to shoehorn a 70s bad taste caravan on the back
Speaking of bad taste, something to please ght
