Nah Martini, we bought a cheap carrefour gazebo last year - we really needed the shade so it was fantastic BUT we spent the whole blooming time tying the bloody thing back down!!

We bought one of these http://www.worldofcamping.co.uk/shop/Detail.asp?ProductID=931

God I'm such a sad cow  ;D

Anita, that looks cosy!!!  is it for parties of one :D

It's 3m x 3m even my arse isn't big enough to fill that on its own!  ;D ;)

You do realise that vqdave will want a picture to prove that for his website!!  ;)

Wow - you've seen the pictures!!   Keithk and I first really met in the middle of the night in Spa pitlane where I was working the night shift and wearing fourteen layers of clothing including Spa's attractive "bin man" overalls, having not slept for two days - it must have been an attractive sight (not!)

PIGLET dosn't do the "track marshall gruppen" and I stopped sailing some years back, done a few days out in the USA with friends and at Cowes week, just to get some salt air...

We've bought one of these from Argos

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3409158.htm

Had a test erection :o, goes up easy as anything and the seams on the flysheet are even taped, with a 2000mm hydrostatic head. (You need a 2 metre pile of water for it to leak.

I may turn it upside down and use it as a boat if it really pisses down.

If you ask nicely, I'll throw you a lilo ;D

There isn't a pump for the airbeds. I think I'll give dad the job of blowing them up. Last time I did an airbed I blew so hard I went into the future and had to lie down until everything else caught up.

Can't better it for value, me and Dad get a bedroom each. Which is good.

He's a dad, he snores and farts.

So am I

So do I

I've got one of those and it struggles with inflatable chairs and sofas etc. Doesn't really blow them up fully. My mate had a mains version last year and it's the business. You need electricity though  ::)
I always stay too long. Long enough for something to go wrong

Hmm.  I borrowed a friend's at S****** to fill up my (twin) air mattress and it seemed to do o.k, considering it's battery-powered.  I blew up the last 2% or so myself, but I liked that a whole lot more than the full 100%.

I'll take $15 over a brain hemhorrage any day.  ;D
