We were told to DRINK DRIVE or FACE the consequences

On a recent visit to Filey in North Yorkshire, our planned trip took a dramatic turn when the staff at the campsite allocated a plot that we were later told to vacate immediately. The only problem was that we had been to the pub for a couple of drinks for lunch. What we were told to do by a staff member of the campsite and what would happen if we didn't left us feeling very uneasy.

Hi Claire and Andrew , totally agree with you about the drink driving ! My mum, dad , brother and sister in law were nearly wiped out by a drunk driver many years ago , not pleasant 😕. Surely when receptionist told you which plots you could move to,she should have noticed the choice she had given had already been booked by the other people 🤔. Never mind there’s always one t**t where ever you go 🤣Loved the photos, music and wave effects at end of vlog . Really quite emotional ( and that’s not being sarcastic! ) just beautiful from a lovely funny totally decent couple who has made quite a few people laugh this year but also done some great filming of some great places .

[@mrsc8044]

Sorry for late comment but I’ve only just found your channel which I’m thoroughly enjoying. Husband and I are both retired cops. For drink driving purposes whether the land is privately or publicly owned is neither here nor there because the matter turns on access. Legally it is considered a road/public place if the public has access on payment or otherwise. The camp site squarely meets the definition and is covered by drink driving legislation. Your driver responsibility instincts were absolutely right.

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi. Welcome to our channel, we are happy you found us. There was no way we would move our vehicle, despite people telling us we should have. We hoe you continue to enjoy our videos. Have a great weekend in the sunshine

[@debramitchell53]

You were absolutely correct in refusing to drink drive. The stroppy council woman is clearly in the wrong job, and if she worked in the private industry she would have been long gone, but unfortunately councils generally allow unacceptable behaviour from their staff without taking the appropriate course of action, and consequently you end up with the stroppy woman always being stroppy until her retirement. Have a great Christmas and new year guys (including your lovely doggy).

The offence of drink driving can only be committed on a road or a public place. As the camp site is open to the public, it therefor could be classed as public under section 33 of the criminal justice act 1972. Grey area? I would say so.

If we finished work on a Friday we used to phone up a campsite to book for the weekend. We regularly went to this campsite and the man would not answer the phone after numerous attempts, however he answered straight away from another number and complained that we booked on the day. The site needs heavy investment and the showers were dated when we went a few years back with flaking paint from the ceiling. You should try centenary caravan site in Filey, it's accessible to Filey centre and beach.

We had the same problem in February this year. We went to a CL site (5 pitches) and we needed to stay for 28 nights and when we booked it, we were told we would be the only ones there the whole month so we could pitch wherever we wanted.. When we set up, the owner came over and said someone had booked that pitch from the 19th and could we move on that date. We said yes no problem so on the 19th I asked if we still needed to move and she said yes. I asked which pitch out of the other 4 and she said any one. So we moved up one pitch. She then came over and said someone else had booked that pitch from the 21st! After all that, neither turned up and we were on our own the whole month.

[@adrianwilkes3300]

You are in the right whichever way you slice it. 1) You have had a drink which could invalidate your insurance. 2) something could happen because you had had a drink. Just because its on private land doesn't make it less dangerous. and 3) Most importantly to me. You have gone out for the afternoon to enjoy yourself. They have no business calling you up shouting the odds about coming back and moving the motor home. They will have to accept their mistake and decide what to tell the other customer. You managed to stay more calm than me. Well done

Private land to which the public have access is still subject to the Road Traffic Act. That neans that you can be prosecuted for driving under the influence in a pub car park, a retail park, a garage forecourt ir indeed a campsite. You may remember a couple of years ago, some drunken lads in a Subaru, hooning round a campsite whilst drunk and sliding over a couple of tents and killing some folk. They were prosecuted for death by dangerous driving and driving whilst unfit etc. just as if they had been on a public road!

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi. We agree and there is no way we would have driven it. Thanks very much for watching our video

[@tonyflanagan5682]

Don’t you just love a Rottweiler on reception, well handled you two. Agree with previous comment that you must be vloggers of the year for my books, clever and funny. Have a good un cockers 👍

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Glad you have enjoyed watching this year and thank you very much for watching She was like a Drs receptionist…. 😂

[@composedlight6850]

Over the past 40 years of using campsite; it is getting worse by every year that goes by. One campsite had been using for 30years changed hands and told me that i could not turn up without a booking --- i am stood there being told this at 8pm in a field with around 6 other tents and enough room for 50 in total LOL I left and never gone back - prefer to sleep in the car tha give miserable camp grown owners my money; they obviously dont need the income .

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi. Thanks for watching. This kind of service is terrible and we hate to see this. Hoping your future travels are sunny and bright

[@bobashton8036]

Hi, I think they have found that you're making a video, and they just go crazy. Yet, you're giving them a good review. Once they see a camera, it just puts their back up!

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi, the lady there didn’t see our camera and wasn’t around when we went into reception, maybe on her break! 😂 Thanks for watching

[@jbeedellmk2]

100% agree…private land or not…never drink or drive…crazy to even ask you to

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi, thanks for watching. Our view is she shouldn’t have asked us to consider it.

[@petebarry6449]

Well guys if I get a job with the camping and caravan club next season you’ll get first class service from me. Park within the sticks, no you can’t reserve a pitch (wot a laugh), don’t drink in case I need to move you 🤣🤣 love it, more than my jobs worth 🤣 take care have a great Xmas and best wishes to you both. Not met you but you feel like firends, ❤️

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

If you work at a site next year we insist you tell us where so we can come see you. You are one of our early subscribers so very important Merry Christmas. We hope your lovely new grandchild is well

[@michaelelliott9657]

It might not be illegal on private property, but it is very irresponsible. If you did drive and hit another vehicle on site what are the chances of your insurance paying out - NIL

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi, Thanks for watching our video, we agree and didn’t want to move anything anywhere for that reason Wishing you a fantastic day

[@GrahamHazlehurst]

Little Hitler's, they are all over the place, we came across one Camping and Motorhome Club Coniston July 2021, can spoil you're stay, great video Happy Christmas to the three of you from the three of us Graham, Tracey and little Ted 🎅

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi Graham, We haven’t been to the Coniston one yet. We just got in with our evening and had a great time! Truly wishing you a fabulous Christmas, we really appreciate all your support this year

[@kennyrodg]

Sit still Claire for gods sake.....Always causing bloody trouble ...Jeez ! Kudos guys, well done for sticking to your guns.Merry Christmas to you both and looking forward to next years entertainment.

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi Kenny, thank you for supporting us this year. Lots of stuff to come 🚐

[@juliebrooke6099]

Permanent (non-seasonal)jobs are as rare as hens teeth in Filey. I don’t think this woman deserves to have one. Maybe a bit of retraining is in order.

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi Julie. Thanks for watching. Have a great afternoon

[@ericapearson9925]

Hens teeth in Filey😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂@@Stchristopherofatlantis

[@Nagsheadwarrior]

after 20 years of motorhoming the ability of campsites to trest their customers like a massive inconvenience never ceases to amaze me, wouldnt get away with it in any other industry its like they are doing us a favour! Especially for nyself being young, ish, I get treated like a probable criminal lol so rarely go on sites these days

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi. Thanks for watching our video. Do you stay roadside or pub stopovers? Can’t beat a good pub stopover 😂

[@Nagsheadwarrior]

I do a lot of urban camping as I go horseracing or to the football or little seafront laybys and carparks as im in Devon and like to fish, ive got a 5m steakth camper which makes it easier​@@Stchristopherofatlantis

[@Daz-Heysham]

Another brilliant video, I wouldn't have moved as it was their mistake. As regards the law drink driving on private land is not illegal, however because campsites have the public staying drink drinking is illegal and you can be prosecuted. All the best for 2024.

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi. Driving a big MH after beers is juts not something we want to be doing at all. We believe we shouldn’t have been encouraged to! Thanks for watching out video. We wish you and your family a fabulous new year

[@Daz-Heysham]

@@Stchristopherofatlantis quite right and nor would I, hopefully they take some action to at least coach the person and put them on a customer focus course.

[@pauline12350]

Wow Filey Brig campsite,what a utter disgrace,,,needs shutting down

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi Pretty bad…. but a very pretty location!!! Thanks for watching our video

[@pipmcscot7078]

Merry Christmas Guys, Let us know next time you go, get in touch with By The kerb and then three vans with Barnsley Blokes who dont mince their words & take no poop will sort em 😂. Legally if the site has barriers that allow access/egress and have to be opened then no offence otherwise Road Traffic Act applies as public have implied access

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi. Sounds awesome to us. Meet you in the pub 😃

[@geoff2373]

DON'T move your van as if you hit some property or another van or a person your insurance will not ans can not cover you .and you could as a worse case do time in prison .

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi. Yes we agree. We should never have been told to move anything! Have a great afternoon

[@geoff2373]

@@Stchristopherofatlantis merry Christmas happy new year to you and pabst.🎄🎄🎄

[@phil2098]

Merry Xmas guys .. should of just gone to cayton bay or Scarborough sea front for free

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi. This is a good shout. We discovered Cayton fairly recently and have been to Scarborough many times before but not stayed. We will do both next year! Thanks for watching

[@wayneflanagan6556]

I’ve had issues in the past regarding Filey site and organisation the staff then was rude so have previous in that respect They are awful

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi. It’s such a shame… seems prevalent and no one is doing anything about it!! 🚐

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Baz

[@junehall2177]

What a beautiful ending to a frustrating time. I think your insurance would agree with your decision not to drive. Happy 2024.😁

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Happy 2024 June. May it bring plenty of curry sauce x

[@jerrywarren6959]

Hideous organisation from this camp site

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi, terrible… and rude! What a shame

[@judebutler535]

1340 and 2 pints in 40 mins walk back…..surely in a couple of hours time you can move the van 15 metres at most, on a private road. I think you are being as awkward as the campsite staff, you are both trying to make a point and the only person missing out is the new arrival…..wait 2 hours and move the bloody thing, not like you have been on a bender and yammed 16 pints!

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi. If you watch to the end, the staff had got the wrong plot so the new arrival wasn’t affected. Staff were rude and the whole thing was badly managed. Thanks for watching

[@OurMotorhomeViews]

Great vlogs. I can never understand why some people seem so keen on having pitches chosen or allocated to them before their stay. Don't they realise that this is the type of problem it causes?!

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi. Thanks for watching our video Its very hard to reserve a pitch as people typically chose an empty pitch upon arrival. We always have done that. Have a fantastic evening

[@OurMotorhomeViews]

@@Stchristopherofatlantis We use a lot of CCC and CAMC sites where we get to choose our pitch on arrival. It works great for us too.

[@micro_adVANtures]

NYCC are appalling - they simply do not care about, well pretty much anything or anyone.

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Eeeek, this doesn’t sound too great!

[@markharrison3973]

Hi guys. In the back of my mind I think the law around drink driving on private land changed, after a member of staff who'd being drinking the previous night killed a child with a tractor on an farm kids could visit. It was on a farm near Leeds. Google it I'm nearly sure that's what happened..merry Christmas btw.

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi Mark, The public have access to this site so although privately owned the public are wandering about on it. Thank you for watching Have a fab evening Merry Christmas 🎅

[@markharrison3973]

Yeah that's what I meant, sorry I didn't explain it properly. Now you can be prosecuted for injury or damage on private land. Caused by drink drinking, due to the case I mentioned. Either way you did the right thing. I wouldn't move my caravan after drinking. Not a chance.

[@Stchristopherofatlantis]

Hi. We are glad we agree. We have had some comments on here suggesting we should have! Eeek
