My mother, as ever, was most unsympathetic but I am delighted to have provided (thus far) 22yrs of continued family amusement about that.<BR/><BR/>I feel I ought to return the kindness of my brothers words by pointing out that he didn't need to go outside as he had ingenously rigged up a system of taped straws from McDonalds, attached through the bottom of a bubble bath bottle (or shampoo) and then going out through the back of the van to the road. For at least a week he delighted in watching the 'trail' he left as we drove along the freeway without needing to pull over.<BR/><BR/>As Scots we are not into the whole 'British' thing but we do have a fully developed sense of British toilet humour.Callyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276876280803790049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22701459.post-1147880139761111422006-05-17T16:35:00.000+01:002006-05-17T16:35:00.000+01:00what an endearing and adventurous post! those fade...what an endearing and adventurous post! those faded photos remind me of our cross country family travels ... emphasis on cross. my own family has handled such adventures much better in smaller vehicles across germany, but with the beach wagon and states like nebraska to cross, well, we just got cross!Susan Schwakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686285411876310172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22701459.post-1147817119697682282006-05-16T23:05:00.000+01:002006-05-16T23:05:00.000+01:00Oh the memories.

I remember one night Cally went out to drain her vein (do girls do that?), and came back in to the Dormobile shrieking that something <I>sat on her back</I>. This didn't get much sympathy from mother, who asked <I>"What? A horse?"</I>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
