Family HolidaysBack in the 80s when my Dad got made redundant (hello Dad!), he spent all the redundancy money on one of those big motor caravans.
Us kids loved it, apart from when my sister threw up on my sleeping bag, but looking back I'm not so sure my mum did. There was a certain tension every time the big van was even mentioned, let alone driven around France for weeks on end with her still having to cook and do all the washing.
What went wrong, what went right, and how did you survive the shame of having your family with you as a teenager?

TrunksMy dear old dad never was one for wasting money on new clothes and always bought good stuff that was made to last. Unfortunately, this didn't include his rotting pair 20-year old swimming trunks which 'dissolved' in a swimming pool in Greece. Me and my brother had to rush over to the pool with a towel to save his blushes as he got out.
