Caravanning: Where Rain and Boredom Collide

Episode 138

You're a kid growing up in the 80s, and your parents are avid caravanners. Every weekend, like clockwork, they drag you off to these desolate fields in the middle of nowhere, where the rain seems to have a permanent residency.

You arrive, and what do you see? Endless rows of caravans, all looking like they've seen better days. And let's not forget the pièce de résistance: the communal toilet block. Who needs indoor plumbing when you can experience the joy of pissing in a bucket, am I right?

But wait, it gets better. Forget about color TV – that's a luxury reserved for the lucky few. Nope, you're stuck with a black and white relic from the Stone Age, where the only entertainment is watching the fuzzy images and trying to guess what's happening.

And what do you do for fun in this paradise of boredom? Well, there's always the exhilarating activity of watching the raindrops race down the window, or perhaps engaging in a riveting game of 'count the sheep' as they graze in the neighboring field.

Ah, the joys of caravanning in the 80s. It's enough to make you long for the comforts of home – or at least a decent color TV!"
