Is there anyone out there who has the same problem as I do? (now let's not get too nasty!). I have a great house (home) in a nice area (North Lakes, Qld) which is about as van unfriendly as you can get. The old Avan Rhys H/T was bad enough, but the new van is even bigger! I have no back yard access, and it is again...

Since we retired 3 years ago & started travelling for a total of around 6 months per year we didn't realize just how much alcohol retirees were drinking. We enjoy a glass or 2 of wine just like anyone else but we're concerned about others who overdo things. It could be a ''boredom thing'' but we've n...
