In reply to Kapios.

Yes, the lads do have an almost psychopathic hatred of caravans… which I share, having had to drive behind more than one of those horrible wastes of space in my time. But they achieve their goal of destroying all caravans with such style that one cannot help but envy them =)

people can still be 'anonymous' by changing the name of their e-mail address which makes your rule very easy to cheat

True. But then that's why I moderate all comments personally. People who show up as "Anonymous" don't get published. One person could easily post multiple comments under ten different names; at that point, it's a judgement call on my part. I haven't had to deal with that yet, though; this pokey little blog is too small for that. We'll see what happens if/when that does become a problem.

'This is like that time when the hosts of Top Gear burned down a caravan'. Which one of all those hundreds of occasions are you talking about mate? 😀

But in all seriousness, people can still be 'anonymous' by changing the name of their e-mail address which makes your rule very easy to cheat.

I just appreciate the fact that you keep on blogging despite not having a huge amount of threaded commentary hanging on your every word.

This is a GOOD blog. You are appreciated even by the silent majority.

Berk:The usage is dated to the 1930s. A shortened version of Berkeley Hunt, the hunt based at Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire. In Cockney rhyming slang, hunt is used as a rhyme for cunt, giving the word its original slang meaning.
