    I am gutted mate, I appreciate your concern, thankyou.

    Now that a few hours have passed,the reality of what could have happened has started to hit home. About 20 years ago something similar happened to me. Without going into any gory detail, I woke up one morning with flames around me. There was an electrical fire ,and it took three flats out within minutes. For some strange reason I woke up, got out and survived.

    Why I survived, I don't know. Maybe now I'm third time lucky, I really don't know.

    So sorry to hear that mate! While everyone is okay which is a fantastic, it's still a headache you don't need.
    Good luck with the insurance company mate!

    Hey Neil, when you phone the insurers make sure you tell them about that brand new Tentipi Safir 7 you had in the caravan ! come to think of it you better mention the Diamond encrusted solid gold Gransfors Small forest axe as well.

    Shame about those two cases of chateau Lafite Rothschild 1982 but hey ho! that's why you have insurance :

    Glad you're all safe fella
