pitures they’re not the most salubrious of pitches but I think they’re doing a lot of work it’s very ow stone stone it’s very early in the season yeah [Applause] Dave taken a stone out of his ship again look call them passengers cuz they just hit Shar my feet killing me yeah they’re not the most cous of pitches uh you do need the European plugs they’re not the the blue jobes like we have in the UK uh it’s all very tight in it everywhere yes but it’s lots of places to rent cab it’s the fact that it’s how much it €24 for five nights for seven nights seven nights which is 26 something something like that it worked out about 19 20 quid a night so that ain’t bad you know it’s not like got to pick another Stone now the other shoe oh this is ridiculous Brits abroad we literally around the corner from theot room lot blisters everywhere yeah so there’s a lot of these shallies um toilets up there and showers and there a dog wash laundry yeah not it’s not massive it’s not cheap I think the wash was about5 it is yeah so this is where we are uh the reason yeah you can choose your own place the reason we came here is that we’ve got a long enough hose to go from the water around the back where that car is all the way to the motor home and [Applause] uh nice big pitch yeah yeah it’s a big pitch I say they’re still working on everywhere around here The Chopping bushes down what so I think by
