Was it intentional to only include ferry companies, thus excluding Eurotunnel?

A. Can we have a best Workshop/Servicing Point ?

In which category I nominate Peter Hambilton / Hymerdirect.

B. How about some for Most Honest Manufacturer, Most Responsive Dealer, Converter who looks after his customers...etc

Given some of the problems faced by some of our brethren, we can kind of guess who won't be getting awards....

OK here's my contribution:

Best MH Dealer Brownhills
Best MH Insurer Saga
Best Campsite C&CC Canterbury
Best MH Product Solar panel
Best CL/CS

Best Ferry Company Eurotunnel
Best M/H related accessory Sog
