Or don't they just not care?

Son's in Cornwall with their caravan and as you may kniow they had some windy weather last couple of days. Tent behind him had very loose guy ropes and son suggested to the chappie that with the anticipated overnight blow it might be a good idea to check them. He didn't and sure enough at dawn the tent blew down and crashed into his caravan making a small but inconsequential mark. Chappie denied it was his tent that had done it and when son asked him why he hadn't tightened the guy ropes he told him he didn't need to 'cos they'd borrowed the tent from his sister in law confused

Walking round the site a 5am and there was a large eight berth type tent with no guy ropes at all and sure enough come 6am it was flattened and the family were sitting in their car. Eight o clock they were gone but by ten were back with a brand new exact same tent which they proceeded to erect, again with no guy ropes.

Son says there was so many tents destroyed that Go Outdoors must be having a field day

Makes you wonder doesn't it.
