Tesco visitors
- 11 June 2009 11:3023241I've just come back from shopping at Tescos at Whitfield. In the far corner were a group of travellers caravans, obviously having set up home there. There were police on the scene, I assume telling them to leave. Even better, as we walked to the store there were three lads coming out with towels round their shoulders and wet hair, presumably having had a wash! Whatever next? An encampment in the DDC carpark? I had to laugh though at the cheek of them
There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok". - 11 June 2009 12:2923249What we could call Chutzpah!!! Having a brass neck was always an advantage!!

Not quite the Tesco thing as mentioned by Jacqui above but an extrapulation of sorts, here we are yet again with another influx of free spending caravanners..ermm not. Although they create a temporary new village along the seafront, the argument is or was when we discussed it in years gone by, that they never spend a penny anywhere they go. They are totally self contained and dont buy even a bottle of milk to support local shops. But there we are...
On those rare warm nights its quite pleasant though, the caravanners sit out on their deck chairs and so on and take the light sea breezes, I suppose its better than an empty seafront and reminds you through the more usual howling gales and the driving rain that it is in fact ..summer!email: dover7@msn.com - 11 June 2009 13:4823259"never spend a penny anywhere they go"............as opposed to the blasted truck drivers who litter the countryside with spent pennies and worse....................
I think, on balance, the self contained caravanners leave less detritus and are possibly the more welcome for that!!!!! - 11 June 2009 17:0723281in both cases dovorians pay out and get nothing in return.
do we know whether the travellers at tesco were happy with the facilities provided? - 11 June 2009 17:1023282I can throw together bespoke a customer satisfaction sheet if you like Howard.........we should be told.
- 11 June 2009 21:1923296NOT IN THIs compensation culture please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they might complain
1; water not hot enough
2 why should they have to provide there own towels
3 should the toilets be shut off to the general public whilst they use them
4; shouldnt they have a spl dedicated lane - 11 June 2009 21:3223302it would be nicer if we moved them on to river.
maybe kearsney abbey?
then, if they are still not happy, we can move the screen into the grounds for their viewing pleasure.
susan will give the ok for it. - 11 June 2009 21:4123306Yes Howard ,and I shall serve them tea wearing one of my lovely hats.I could also throw in the odd guided tour .
- 11 June 2009 21:4423307that is very kind of you susan.
as an act of good faith, i will now stop sending letters about you to the mercury.
cannot say fairer than that.
