Post by: J.R on April 03, 2016, 09:41:36 AM: When wearing socks with your sandles or Crocks just makes sense, regardless of looks.

When you tuck your polo shirt, your wife purchased for your 40th, into you cargo elastic waist with drawer cord shorts.

When you pin your club or association badges on your hat.

When you get those flip up sun glasses lenses on your reading glasses, because you can not justify another pair of sunglasses.

When you run standard tyres on your 4wd, because only young blokes run larger tyres.

Maybe I am an old soul? ???

Yep, your right.

20 hundredweight in a ton.

This was a very common weight when there was a lot of tin mining going on in the far north. The tin concentrate was bagged in hessian bags weighing 1 hundred weight.

Wrong type of camper then.
A hard floor takes minutes to erect.

But I see many advantages in using a box on wheels (caravan), with the slight exception of higher petrol cost and initial layout.

Perhaps when I get really old ..................in two or three years ;D ;D ;D
