Will Maison Blanche go allocated for '06 ??

Not having a shower for a few days is not necessarily a health hazard. People throughout the world go weeks and months without. It is only us in our pampered western civilisation who demand such un-natural luxuries. Some years ago I spent seven days in a jungle in Thailand without once so much as brushing my teeth. You get used to the smell. It was nice to jump into a cold river at the end, although I was a slightly worried one of them little parasitic fish was going to swim up my cock. I was similarly concerned whilst being in JPC's swimming pool.

JPC, where did you buy that calculator? 350 square metres is a pitch about 19m by 19m....

Carrefour!!!!

Wonder how many walk on to MB (and other sites for the matter) and camp. I don't think many do but even so, they don't pay anything.

I doub't that its actually that many true walk ons - ie Loners with no invite to an encampment.

And none of them will take pools or Gazebos! I did take a travel rug this year though.

It's great value though for those prepared to do it.

I think the extra advertising the ACO did this year must have had an effect on the numbers.

As to using the Porsche Curves area as an overflow for BSG, this could be made a proper site with a toilet block and it would be superb as the viewing is great and walking distance to Arnage! I don't think I'd bother walking to the circuit village as there seemed to be little of interest this year.

There was in fact mixing of sewage with drinking water, not to mention food preparation, because the sewage was being deposited here, there and everywhere before the toilet block was opened, and it was being tracked back to the campsites, including where people were washing, cooking and eating.  That's how people started spreading the intestinal disorder around, and that's how you get epidemics.

Where we were in KN people were firing off flares, and not looking out for where they were going to land either.  And some people were firing roman candles AT tents and through campsites -- it seems likely that one of these days this is going to start a fire in a campsite and people will get hurt.

Where did that happen Kate???

I must add, I've never trusted the water from the standpipes anyway and we only use it for washing up and showering. We use bottled water for drinking and cooking.

I'm not sure, but as far as I know we made our coffee with it...

And I'm still alive *cough cough*
