It was down again within 10 minutes! Its due to the way my house sits in relation to wind direction - had a wall built as I was fed up having to replace the fence!

Unwritten rule - whomever has the smallest arse, sits in the middle...
Used to be me, till I grew bigger than mum (not hard - she's a size 8 (6 US).

There's no telling some folk...
Hope you escaped unscathed.
My lesson today, it's one that I will not get it through my thick head... well I tend to ignore on occasion..
Don't tell dad what your plans are until the last possible moment...
Had my new tent delivered to mum and dads:
D: Not very big...
R: It sleeps 3, its not meant to be for big camping trips - just sleeping in.
D: There's no room for much else. If you were 6 ft you could have a problem.... We've still got the old camping stove - 2 rings and a grill, there's some gas too, not sure how much. No where to hang anything. Not much room once you've got your stuff in. You'll need a better mattress than that...
R: Mum said. Think we might have to replace the rubber hose.
D: Should be okay.
R: When were you last camping? 20 years isn't it? I'll think I'll get a new one.
D: you could take the this, that & the next thing... You're going by car, you could take quite a bit...
R: (
Thinking ye olde kitchen sink joke) I'm away on the Friday and back on the Monday - I won't need much.
D: blah blah blah, drone, waffle, blah blah blah...
Bless him, he means well, and likes to feel needed.
