I am beginning to think it is about time the government started to reign in these rogue sites and what they feel they can freely charge people.The more the people of this country suffer,jobs recession etc,the more these greedy money grabbing site owners put their prices up,and fleece everybody.Their greed makes people suffer even more,by preventing a lot of people being able to actually afford a site to camp in,when they have gone out of their way to spend all their money on camping equipment,sometimes costing hundreds of pounds.
Anybody created a petition on this sort of thing? I would happily sign it if there is one.I mean,people want to help the british economy by buying items,yet,so many business owners refuse people the opportunity to actually use the items they have bought in this country...Camp sites being a major example of this kind of unjust practice.
