    This thread has to be a complete wind up that has amused us over the Christmas period. No one in their right mind would have agreed to the Clampitts stopping in a caravan in their driveway until 4 January when the house sale is completed, never mind the other 'adventures' tha are said to have occurred.

    Thanks to the Jones Family for this thread. Even my OH has been interested but she liked Dallas!

    The posts here are quite amusing. I love the speculation that this thread is a wind up, but believe me 3 hours down at the Police Station this afternoon waiting for Mr Clampett (my name given to protect his identity) to finish his interview and to be formally charged. What is probably more shocking is that Mr Clampett will be revealed in the Penarth Times with our address as being associated with the idiot drunk in charge of a motorhome.

    Anyway, i dont think he appreciated my humour when I stopped off at the off licence on the way home to get some alcohol and I asked him if he wanted a few cans of beer. "Just a few cans of Cream Soda please". As if they sell them in the Offie. I bought him ginger beer.

    We have to go down tomorrow to pick up the motorhome from the pound. He was wincing a bit at the recovery charge and storage charge,

    Anyway, they have both gone to their rooms. I have put them a portable TV in there which we dug out of the loft last week.

    For a laugh, and because I am not a cruel person, I sat and watched Police Camera Action recorded from yesterday when they were making a late lunch in the kitchen. I yelled "nick him" a bit too loud that they closed the kitchen door lol.

    Anyway, the dog is doing fine. We bought more food earlier. I also, not because I am cruel have decided not to pick up the dog turds. The Zen Garden (sand and stones for the posh) is now a giant dog litter tray and they will have to deal with that when we move on the 4th.

    Anyway, as I have said they are now skulking in our spare room with Ginger Beer and no doubt a bit of Pobol Y Cwm later on to get them used to the area.

  • p.s. I nearly took the bait earlier about posting a picture. You asked for todays paper and some breasts and I quietly chucked when I pick up a copy of the stations Sun newspaper but I would have probably been taken in for questionning if the desk sargeant caught me taking a picture of someones breasts in the paper.

    I did take a picture of the van in the pound earlier. A bit lonesome, i tried to load it here but it comes out massive. A bit of cropping tmw if you fancy a laugh.
  • Ha ha! This thread is brilliant!
