    Good evening all. Thanks for the encouragement for the script writing, however I am sure there is better talent out there.

    Anyway, it is 22.04 and the in laws and out lawss are here for a drinkie poos. Mrs J has just cooked us a fabulous Mousaka and we are waiting for the countdown to 2011. We hadnt invited the clampetts as they said they were going out to the pub, but when I was walking past the campervan at 9pm this evening, they were both in watching TV.

    So it is with a heavy heart and probably a bit too much Blue Nun inside me, that I knocked on the door and invited the Clampetts over at 11pm for an hour.

    Finally on behalf of the Jones Family, Jan and Pete Jones (my folks) and Diane and Richard Head (Her folks), we wish you all a very merry new Year,

    sorry a bit sozzled.
  • We had a family of Clampetts over the road from us, They also have a campervan, thought they'd gone to visit Mr C's parents in Exeter.
    My mind tends to wander............If found please return;)

    I can spell...................I just cant type:confused:

    out of respect to them, i have never had this joke. They are very formal people, devout catholics so much so, they wouldnt use a brolly if it rained.

    I have 6 sisters in law.

    Looking out of the window the Clampetts are just locking up the van, half hour early! Must be time for their constitutional or maybe they are peckish. Oh they even appear to be carrying a bottle. Crikey, I hope they mind their Ps and Qs as the in laws are a little on the "jolly hockeysticks"
