Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Like England, Europe has many medieval castles. France has an
abundance of them. There are the abbeys, like Lagrasse, with its
medieval village on one side of the river, the abbey on the other;
the Cathar castles, so called for being the safe havens against the
Catholic oppressors who drove them out, throwing them from the
castle walls or burning them in the courtyard with the cry. Let
their gods save them. And Carcassonne, another Cathar stronghold.
Rebuilt during the last century for the enjoyment of all who visit
it. I hope my book gives you a taste of what Europe, particularly
France, has to offer the fellow campers.
More and more people are seeing the benefits of owning their own
motorhome. The ability and freedom to go where you want, when you
want. So, ok, you've finally done it. You've worked hard, you've
saved your money, you've had the tent, you've slept on the lumpy
damp grass and you've had enough of chugging a house behind you.
Now, after a lifetime of hard work, you deserve better. Whether it
be a transit van you have converted, a second-hand motorhome or a
top of the range recreational vehicle (RV for short). Well, maybe
not so top of the range... You will spend days, weeks, getting to
know your little baby and wondering what to put in it, or her.
Plastic cutlery or the best bone China? What about clothes? How
many shirts, socks, trousers, dresses? It's a whole minefield
knowing what to take with you. Then there are the maps, the best
book of campsites, caravan club or camping and caravan club? Then
how about the telly? Or jigsaw puzzles to while away those quite
nights in the country? Seaside or country? Scotland or Cornwall?
Even more terrifying - do we go abroad or stay in England? France,
where everyone knows the French hate us and the French police sit
in side streets waiting to pounce on any unsuspecting Brits? I know
the thought itself is frightening because when my wife and I bought
our first motorhome, we had such mixed feelings of fear and
excitement. Our first motorhome was an Auto Trail Cheyenne. I still
have it; it has taken us all over Europe, down to the Sahara. Our
initial plan was to spend short summer breaks in England, the
dales, Barmouth, Paignton. Winter months touring Europe, France and
Spain. But resorts like Weston-super-Mare brought us up sharp and
we soon found that English resorts do not welcome us. Oh, you're
welcome for the day ok, spend your money then go away. They don't
want you spending overnight. In France and Spain, its different.
France have Aires all over the country, free, where you can stay
for the night or a few says. Many have electric and most have
emptying facilities. Do you wild camp or go on designated camp
sites and pay their fees? All this is down to personal choice. One
year in Italy I pulled onto a car park within a short walk of the
beach. Having put on the kettle I sat back to enjoy a relaxing
coffee when I heard a grunt, then another. Thinking it was a dog, I
got up to look out of the door and it was a family of wild boar.
The locals came out to feed them every night. Two days later, I
booked into the local camp site with a swimming pool. But I knew I
would never see those boar on there. How much does it cost to drive
to Croatia, 1200 miles? To Benidorm, 1300 miles? How much does it
cost to live on a daily basis? By wild camping I eat out more. What
and where are the pitfalls? When we set out on our journey, we all
have the same questions, the same fears. I hope my book, telling
stories of my family travels and adventures, answers a lot of the
questions for those who want to experience the Pyrenees, the Alps,
Spain and the French Riviera.
So, you think when you go before the judge you're going to get a
fair and unbiased hearing? No, no, no, you silly billy! Unless
you're pristinely clean and even then you have been weighed and
measured before you even get in the dock. From the senior police
officer who puts the word in to the prosecution, who then puts the
word into the ear of the judge. He will even know what you've had
for breakfast. In my latest court case at Coventry Magistrates
Court, I was charged with refusing to name the driver of a vehicle
that I had sold, even though I had informed the police. The
prosecution caught the eye of the judge and held it... Your honour,
this is a difficult case... and there are more serious charges...
The judge nodded imperceptibly... I was found guilty after 5
minutes. No witnesses. No press. You can guess what my chances are
for an appeal. What serious charges? I've heard nothing... In
September an ex-tenant broke into my house with eight mates in
balaclavas and robbed me. In April a plumber broke into one of my
properties; stole a boiler and a waste trap. He admitted it on
WhatsApp! In both cases the police have done nothing. No evidence
you see... The police pick on easy targets to get their results. If
it's too difficult they turn away..
Corruption breeds corruption. If the police and courts practice
corruption, then corruption seeps into society at large, from the
police who think that it is fair game to assault miners protesting
about their treatment, to victimising black kids simply for being
black. Police have been fitting up people for years. The average
citizen will shrug their shoulders, brush it aside muttering they
'no doubt deserved it,' without thinking of the deeper
implications. However, the damage is being done, as can be seen in
society today. My books explore the corruption and the potential
influence of the Freemasons on the courts.
