O/T end of world pillocks

When we were kids we had canvas tents.
What are them plebs sleeping in?
I'd guess it's not canvas.

Haven't seen a canvas tent with proper poles in years. None here on the streets of Seattle, just the flimsy 'igloo' types with bendy poles.

PS Thank's for keeping the COBER no O/T drive going Crash. I have you at 30 quid at the moment

I thought lurking within tent was a criminal offence?

You can never find a fake solicitor when you need one to explain it to us.

Still have a 4 berth canvas frame tent with a steel pole frame with all the accessories to go with it. Camping stoves, double and single blow up mattresses, sleeping bags, lamps, picnic table and other items that I currently cannot recall. It has two separate bedrooms with plenty of space to eat indoors etc. Last used some years ago in Filey.

Last time out I fully waterproofed the canvas and it worked a treat. We had agreed to meet up with two other families with their kids.
On the first night it literally rained all through the night. We three were as snug as a bug in a rug. When we got up it was still raining but our tent was bone dry. We visited the other families and they were huddled like sheep in one corner of their tents respectively trying to stay warm. Their tents were freezing just stood in them, you know the new fancy pop up in 5 minutes super size igloos that sleep up to 10.....

Suffice to say I suggested the kids all went to ours to stay with our Daughter to get and stay warm.

You're right Crash, these new age campers don't know how to appreciate a 'real' tent.

Double and single blow up what? Oh, mattress

For some reason I have this odd desire to sing “ging gang gooly”

There’s a few solicitors in those tents

I honestly thought Brin had mistakenly put an eBay add on here. I would have offered ! £30

[Brin]

That would probably buy you the picnic table pal

Putting up a tent is very much like making love to a beautiful woman.

First you unzip the door
Put up your pole
Then slip into the old bag
