Hi all, just thought we'd tell everyone how our holiday is going. This is our longest trip away for all 5 of us, two lads 14 & 11 and dog as well!! The plan is to go up the west side of Scotland and then right up to the top. Left home in north Wales thursday evening about 5pm and headed up the M6. Spent the first night wild at sevice station near Carlisle. Woke up friday morning had breakfast did dishes and the kitchen sink tap snapped in half!! This is when our new toy came in handy. We had bought a mobile broadband dongle and used it to search for spares. Found Barons caravans at High Hesket where we got sorted with a tap. Quite easy to fit, problem sorted. Back on the road again we headed up towards west Scotland, through Dumfries and up the A76. We got up to Largs by friday night where we went wild again. Saturday morning we caught the ferry from Gourock to Hunters Quay, then made our way up to Oban where we was booked onto a CL, (getting desperate by this time to fill the tank and empty the waste!) We set off this morning heading towards Loch Ness, currently stopped on a carpark in Fort William typing this. Setting off again soon for the next part of the journey. Just a quick note on this mobile internet dongle, tried it everywhere we stopped and worked perfectly apart from one place which was in the middle of nowhere and under some trees. We went for the '3' package and so far very impressed with it. Back soon with more updates! Bye for now.

Sorry about the earlier flippant remark, but here is what I meant:

Now I can read and enjoy it with a bit of spacing.

I agree with the above pendants. It's not only easier to read it's also good manners, or etiquette, although the post chosen is far from the worst example.
