Mocki owd lad, don't you know that Jed the lager lout is originally from
Bolton, then he emigrated darn sarf. Now he's been 'southernified' & lost his Bowton accent & to cap it all he no longer drinks mild & he hates

There are other ways, but I use sterilizing tablets, from milton (yes the baby one) for the water tank at the end of the summer.

Most important camping tip.
When taking a cold lager out of the front of the fridge,always replace it with one from out of the cuboard,so you always have a fridge full of cold ones 8) :ok .

Only buy food that does not need to be kept in the fridge, thus ensuring plenty of room for nice cold beer.

:shock:
Never leave your van without wine or beer in it - then you can run away quickly from your inlaws when you want to :D

acumulate free sample bottles - far easier that taking a giant washing up liquid or shampoo.

have a small rug on the floor so the carpet doesn't get too messy with muddy feet and shake it out the door each morning

for westie pop tops(or those that have the bar too) buy some hooks from ikea and hang yer stuff off the bar.

Don't let the dog sit on the back seat, he thinks it's still his when the bed is down.
