Very funny blurb for a sale on eBay, look for “1980 Ci Europa 4 Berth caravan”. If you want a direct link, I saw this on Mumsnet.

Very funny - although I gave up reading after a while!

It was “Contraceptive personality” that really hooked me ?

I loved it, I read it to DH whilst having our tea in bed this morning.

I particularly liked him referring to his ‘FA cup ears’

Excellent listing but like Polly73 I didn't read it all.
It has certainly grabbed lots of attention as bids are coming in.

Can you imagine meeting this bloke ?

He used to wet the bed being a late developer and he set someone's hair on fire in the chemistry class .....
I'll have to reread in case I've missed any other essential bits of information relevant to his selling the caravan .

Very funny.

Oh no !
If only I'd read it properly - I could have met him in the wine bar for his birthday !
I expect that lots of gransnetters were there .
Imagine the competition .

Brilliant fun ?

Being in New Zealand I had a giggle before I even got to the comments.
“May not post to New Zealand - Read item description or contact seller for postage options”
I know this is usual for EBay but under the circumstances….
I am not sure they make postage bags big enough.
Thanks I needed a laugh.

I had a good laugh at it, but thought it got less funny towards the end. Very witty at the start, though, and surely must amuse the caravanning/motorcaravanning folk.

Update - the winning bid of £2,100 fell through ? The winner said that he’d just been trying to boost the amount it raised because of it going to charity ? Mike has now re-listed the caravan on eBay.
