I'm going to own up .... yes i have actually bought a DOG TENT.

well it looked cool and it was cheap

Ha! I have a stick table.

Absolutely useless!

Can't push it in the ground, and when you can it falls over when it has anything on it!

[shonasdad]

a fold out coffee cup, it sort of folds into its self with a little tab handle on it. trouble is when you put hot coffee in it it goes soft and you cant pick it up....what a waste of £1.50..lol plus when i went to the tt last year it was the only cup i took so had to buy a proper one.

lmao...class...

I bought a flanel pillow, i already had a thermarest self inflating that was brill and thought the flanel pillow would just give me that bit extra comfort... totally sh!t, it stays the same size out of the bag and is about as much use as a pillow that a pancake would, waste of a fiver.

I paid £20 quid for a battery operated shower the biggest and most useless piece of tat ever. in fact if I ever dig it out of where ever its hiding I'll offer it out for free (It may as well go in your bin as mine)

I bought a tent from blacks did a trial run of putting it up in th garden and one of the poles snapped lengths ways. it was a waste of £90. After they took it away for testing, they relised i hadn't sat on it or broke it deliberatley i got my money back.

Well that sounds quite a reasonable purchase apart from the fact you don't know your own strength!

Blacks dont fix tents bought within warranty, which it was. They took the broken part and simply told me it was a faulty pole. They were then satisfied that i hadnt sat on it or broken it.

I have a garage 1/2 full of second hand tents, awning poles, lamps etc,etc. I had a 'fit' of buying at boot sales and now have enough gear to start a campsite! I got a top of the range water pump at Towsure and it is too big and powerful for my camper! I have enough 'Bistro' stoves and gas canisters to start a war! Last year I spent 250 quid on a 6 man, multi panel tent that is still in the boxes. I wasn't joking when i introduced myself as a 'camperholic'. I am looking for a large old style metal frame tent that opens up at the front to use as a stall as well as a
tent at shows etc. Any body wanna swap?

Mad! I can only imagine what photo's of your garage must look like.
