Greenie we shouldnt need an emergancy to want to help out our fellow humans, it should be ingrained into us.

CB full name is Cafe Brian as Brian would offer help to everyone he got stuck stuck in a couple of massive traffic jams over the years and ended up offering tea/coffee to folks and l intend to as well, well bar wanting to get stuck in traffic jams but you get my meaning.

Food well l would offer biscuits type food my cooking isnt the sort you offer to others unless you intend to poison them.

I ticked yes for loo but as said would depend on circumstances. Full nope blokes... heck you guys happier to use bushes so probably stick to ladies

Found this easy to answer, for me that is.

Think (hope) John would come up trumps in a real emergency.

We enjoyed the hospitality of a couple, Ann and oops forgotten his name, whilst waiting for the ferry at Callais, we were on the motorbike and the heavens opened shortly after we got there. We were invited in and given a very welcome cup of tea.



We encountered Kris a round the world cyclist in Metz we were on the aire outside the closed campsite. it was persisting down.
Wanted to ask Kris in, he was eating and trying to shelter. John said no. I was shocked at his response.

A short while later he knocked on the van door I invited him in before John had the chance to stop me, made him a hot drink, whilst he and john tried to find either an open campsite or a cheap hotel neaby. I gestured to a spare bed, hope Kris didn't see, no way John would entertain the idea.

We still discuss it, he still feels the same way though. I just think of the people who have helped me and mine out over the years and want to give something back.

An 'emergency situation' and most of the posts I've read here refer to the toilet!

Last time I checked it was still possible to go for a number 1 or even 2 without sitting on a throne so unless they were perhaps elderly or disabled the answer to that would be no (although happy to provide toilet paper :lol).

I'd be happy to help out where possible with food, drink and perhaps warmth, but if it was cold people could run their own engines and be just as snug.

Please don't let's turn a harmless poll/question into yet another confrontational thread whereby people with different opinions or thoughts start to take a pop at one and other. We all have our own individual outlook on how far we'd be prepared to go to help in an emergency situation and I'm sure most of us would find our 'Good Samaritan' side came to the fore if ever we came across a serious emergency on the roadside.

Chemical cassette type loos are very personal things and some would be ok with strangers using theirs and emptying the cassette afterwards whereas others would find the very thoughts of a strangers bottom sitting on their throne totally abhorrent - each to their own I say and I am sure in a genuine emergency situation everyone would still help in one way or another.

Let's hope none of us are ever put to the test!

I totally agree a harmless thread is being taken to far , I personally think that most of us would react to the situation on the day , its al right saying things in hypothetical situation but reality often changes opinions, I would let some people use my loo , but unfortunately there are some people who would take liberties , so every decision should be made as things unfold
