Just come back today from a trip on a very respectable CC&C site in Norfolk. I had a shock though when a girl of about 10 decided to use my car to help her climb a tree! I had a go believe you me.
You have to wonder don't you!!!!!

as people have been saying all week on the news - where are the parents? And more importantly why are they not teaching their children how to behave. I am shocked at how many children don't say please or thank you these days. I encourage my son at every stage to be polite to everyone and respect other people's property (clearly something that most of those involved with this week's trouble do not understand). Lynm - I would like to say that I can't believe a child climbing on your car, but sadly it seems to be norm these days of children having no or little respect for others these days.
Call me old fashioned, but I believe that you should treat others as you wish to be treated and that extends to belongings too! I have been ashamed to be british at points this week although all of those wonderful people that have turned out to clean up have renewed my faith in people and shown that it is only the minority that are scum! It is likewise on the campsites....... its always the minority that ruin it for the majority!

doesn't leaving a mess just keeps someone in work
Before the rage starts that is not my opinion but is the excuse I repeatedly hear from people who drop litter, cigarette ends etc.
Last time we were away at a very busy campsite every moring and evening sinks covered in toothpaste drips, soap, shaving foam complete with stubbly bits and hair, showers covered in mud and grass. Talc on the floor and worse, I will spare the details. Each day a pile would form on a window ledge - toiletries, socks and underwear (yuk) that had been left behind.
The basic problem is a lot of people do not give a monkeys about anything or anyone other than themselves, or they are used to their wife, mother or significant other picking up after them

My young teenage son, who can still remember being dragged to the ladies with me. Has occasionally commented on the state many of the male toilet blocks get into, probably waiting for some one to clean up after them, I always wonder if there is a big pile of wet towls in the men's showers

There is no respect anymore. I can remember my grandad telling kids off for dropping litter and they didn't turn around and tell him to F off but picked it up!
People now live in a throw away society where they feel that someone else will do it for them. There are kids out there that have no idea you can wash up in a sink rather than a machine so it is no wonder they have no idea how to clean a sink out after them.
Those of us like minded people who teach our kids respect just have to carry on and hope that eventually our decent ways will rub off on everyone else.
Not just British campsites... OK, only had this problem once but it was enough. French campsite, lots of cleaners, generally quite clean and respected facilities bar the little blighter who decided to 'off-load a weight from his mind' as my Dad used to say, in the shower cubicle (it had a mass drainage channel across the back rather than individual trays). Didn't spot it at first and then became aware of an unusual aroma that wasn't Herbalessences...YEEUUUCHHHHHHKKKKKK
It does make you wonder what people do at home.
------------- Camping - emotional resilience in action, a triumph of hope over adversity and antidote to virtual reality.
went to a car boot yesterday, and there was this 10 year old racing down the isles as fast as he could go shouting at the top of his voice GET OUT OF THE WAY, at first i thought there was some serious agro, (you think you have seen it all until the next day).
I used to work with young children and one of the new ways of thinking that came down from above was that we couldn't actually ask a child say please or thank you....sorry but that was one 'rule' that was ignored totally. My kids can be little b's at home but the feedback I get from other parents/neighbours/shopkeepers is how polite and well mannered my children are. Do they stand out from the crowd because of this???
I find gents toilets are so much cleaner than the ladies when doing rounds. Last year when filling toilet rolls up, a women walked out of a cubicle and there was poo everywhere. I mean everywhere... up walls, on the floor etc. So i made her clean it up, she was very drunk but had i not been there she would have walked out without a care in the world. Fortunately other campers were there too so could see what we have to put up with by the minority that are animals. No respect for themselves or others.

See it's not just the kid's to blame, it's the drinkers too
