Plenty of scope for some hijinks if you had one of those, like showing your mates the blue goldfish.
I would be bound to trip over a banana skin and my head go down the pan.
Alternatively you could keep cold beers in it.

I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Or take a fridge, a chest freezer and a generator as is our plan for this year.  |

There'll always be an England, and there'll always be some space in our freezer for you to chill cases of beer!! (Just need to make sure we don't leave any in there long enough to freeze!!  ) I'm just going to drink warm beer like I always do |

(Just need to make sure we don't leave any in there long enough to freeze!! ) Muchios gracias very much. We did consider buying a beer fridge and leaving it there - not too sure how we were going to power it though. You'd think with collectively a couple of thousand horse power sitting around our site we could work out how to power a fridge eh. Maybe that's a good discussion topic for this forum |

Back to the portapotty/inflatable jobbie: JP, note that the ad suggests a safe working load of 200lb!!!
Jesus! that's going some, you'd need a curry and a half to meet the manufacturers specification alright.
H
Crikey, thanks for the warning H!! Imagine squatting on one and I deliver my finest then it explodes and I land in my own!!! And at 224lbs (16st to the uninitiated) I am well over the advised limit!  Doesn't bear thinking about - OK it does and makes me laugh out loud at the image. Hope I don't put you off your tea lad! |

Steve - Keeping Beer Cold -
Either go to robert Dyas and buy a car fridge , either links to a battery ( car ) or into a fag lighter and runs with very little power drain.
Or, take a bucket wrap foil around , fill with cold water, then add bags of ice cubes ( purchased from Carrefour ) and hey presto , cold beer for a few days.
Alternitely come round the SPS camp , and enjoy Fridge Freezer bliss.

Cheers Robbo, I'm afraid you can't get much in the boot of a cobra - it's almost like taking a motorcycle to Le Mans  |

Stu,
Is your butane-powered camp fridge working ?

Watch out for the power drain on portable fridges, the bigger ones are no problem plugged into the lighter socket as long as the engines running, but will drain a car battery in about 15 hours if engine stopped.
Best ones I've found will run on 12volt for the journey down, so that you can have cold beers on arrival, and also gas, which you use while camping.
Won't fit in the back of a cobra though, might fit on a rear luggage rack but would bugger aerodynamics and looks.

I seem to remember two fine lads heading off last year in a motorised ice cream vending fridge. A sterling effort if you ask me. I'd like to have seen their arrival for the ferry, and was their breakdown insurance with the AA or Comet?
Where are they now?
