Obviously we are not talking about people like the owners of Wests.

We've got a caravan and we spend weeks on end in it during the school summer holidays. We like to travel too - that doesn't mean we are the sort of 'travellers' we are complaining about. Last Easter a family came to the site we were staying at on a farm - they helped themselves to chicken wire to make a fence to keep their dog in. They left rubbish outside their caravan in bin bags (everyone else took theirs to the collecting area.) They even helped themselves to our step one day when we were out and made a barbeque on it!

Then one night we had the police up because she was screaming that he was murdering her with a knife and she was trying to climb out of the window and he was dragging her back inside. The police carted him off but next morning she was begging for somebody to bring him back!

They'd booked to stay on the site for a week but the bit where they stayed ended up a right mess and they were turfed off before the end of the week.
