Well, at least Dr Jekyll appears to have posted in the correct thread. Or has Flibble?

Where is the Picard facepalm when you need it?
Never has it been so appropriate

Center Parcs is not that bad.

It isn't that cheap, sure, but, if you go out of school holidays, you can avoid the type of people you don't want to see there who can only go during the school holidays, and enjoy the relative tranquility and reasonably priced accommodation. Even if you just use the pool area (included in the price) you don't have to shell out for all the other activities.

Well, I went as a parent but of a young child not of school age. Many others did the same, and this was fine.

No groups of older kids running riot and dicking about in the pool or whacking the crazy golf balls as hard as they could into the lake. No teenagers smoking everywhere, or being shouted at by Angry Dad types from a Zafira or Navara

So basically, yes.

Hands-free telephoning by vehicle drivers should be made illegal.

Definitely. Any phone use whilst driving is dangerous. When talking on ANY phone you picture the person on the other end of the call. You may be required to answer questions, calculate figures and other distractions.
All whilst in charge of a vehicle.
Hand held or hands free. Lunacy.

If they were being shouted at from something other than a Zafira or navara it would be alright? Generalise much?
Did you read that nonsense before you posted it?

If they bring this in, I wonder how many people will be stopped for singing along with the radio? It'll look the same from the outside, though I guess you'd be able to prove there wasn't a call happening at the time.

Maybe should ban car radios/CD/MP3 players too?

My dear chap! I had no idea you cared so much.

Not clever enough to write TG scripts and I'd rather cut my ears off than listen to Queen.

You would need to also ban passengers from talking.

[OldSkoolRS]

Might work for me.

Well, if it looks like you're on a call, and you are driving in a manner to alert a police officer to you, then I guess they have grounds to stop you and check? Isn't that what we want - people to drive more safely, so that we can enjoy using the roads as best as possible?

not been for years but booked in with the wife, kids and (gasp) my own parents too, all in the same house, in september. Keeping open minded but after getting railroaded into an all inclusive this summer (another thing i have avoided for more than a decade) I don't have high expectations.
