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?

MatesMy mum decided that as I had a few mates we'd all go on a camping holiday FFS in the New Forest (we all lived on the IOW) when I was about 14. All in the same tent !! Cue the hangers on - school kids - well it was that time when puberty was all set in and none of us really knew what was going on sexually. Well I did. One bloke I saw his eyes one night and I knew (now, but not at the time) he was masturbating in his sleeping bag.
Apart from that, it was a camping holiday I'd never contemplate again, thanks Mum.
