It's your forum that's fucked, monkey boy.
That photo was taken in portrait with the phone the right way up.
If it was landscape and the wrong way round, I'd accept fault.

∆∆∆ Thats a lovely picture. When I was a few months old my parents and another couple holidayed at a similar site in Wales. On being shown their 'van', they told the proprietor it was unfit to house pigs. After coming close to blows, with the Welshman declaring father a 'nasty piece of work', the party were 'upgraded' to a converted 1920's bus. It pissed with rain ceaselessly for the entire week but they somehow greatly enjoyed the squalor. This type of vacation is now known as 'Glamping'.

I had a similar experience camping in Wales with my parents in 1972. I've never been back there.....

What is that one on the right that looks like a cross between a tram and a coach, the end looks wrong for either

It may well have been a railcar either adapted from a coach body or actually converted from one. The unit behind it looks to have rolling-stock origins too.

Looks like a coach that would have had a bonnet sticking out of the front.

There's an actual bus on the far left, testing my sad knowledge of such things.

Can you imagine the looks of horror you would get turning up to a caravan club site these days in that!
