The new owner turned up without warning at my home on 27th April. He told me that he had taken control on 17th April and is living in a caravan on the site with his partner and two children. The purpose of his visit was to ask me to close the website down. I told him that if he wanted to buy it he could do whatever he wished with it but until then it will continue to warn prospective buyers of the pitfalls of caravan ownership. He agreed that he wanted to buy and I agreed to withold any further entries whilst he consulted his partner.After a week of silence I decided to return his visit but found his caravan unattended. Before I could return to my car I was accosted by the common law husband of the camp busybody who subjected me to threats of violence in a foul mouthed verbal attack.Obviously she objects to me relating the truth about her behaviour in previous blogs.
The following day,7th May, the site owner turned up at my home again and offered me the princely sum of £50 for each of my websites as he had been advised that this is all a vacant site is worth.I consider that these websites have been most influential in persuading people to reconsider their intention to buy caravans at this location and were at least partly responsible for the previous owners failure. For the new owner to spend probably £750,000 on the site and then claim to have no money to secure the single most important channel for publicity seems naive to say the least.His opinion is that people should not need to be warned because they are all responsible adults and consequently cannot complain later.I think that the same would apply to someone buying a site and then complaining that the website is not available to them later.
I obviously rejected his insulting offer and have told him that I will not consider any further offers until he removes the busybody from the site. She has forced many people to leave over the years and I think it only fair that she should find out first hand what it feels like.
Meanwhile the heavy rain of the last few days has once again caused flooding and compelled everyone to abandon their caravans.
