We're on a cycling touring holiday in South Wales. We don't travel particularly light, panniers on each bike and I tow a trailer with the camping gear in.
It's been a lovely week so far, great riding, quiet roads, good weather.
Last night we arrived in a campsite just outside Pembroke: Windmill Hill. It's a lovely site, clean and neat with good facilities including a microwave, fridge and freezer for campers to use. That's especially useful to us, so last night we put our milk, bacon and butter in the fridge, which was empty apart from our stuff.
This morning the butter is gone.
Now it's obvious someone has had it and it's not simply a matter of driving to the nearest shop for us to get more
So Mrs PP goes asking around to see if anyone has it. First tent she spies it on their table. Now, if the bloke had said sorry and handed it back, then fine. But no. He had to lie and say it was theirs, even when we could positively ID it with the reduced sticker on the lid which Mrs PP had half peeled off he still lied.
Mrs PP is no pushover and eventually got it back. But what a lying thieving ****. I'd have gladly given him butter if he'd asked.
It's really pissed me off and although it won't spoil my day I'm tempted to go and have it out with him.
Rant over.
And breath.
What forks do you have on your bike? 😉
there are ****s everywhere not go enjoy your holiday and dont let one idiot ruin it
Well done your missus.
Deep breath, get on with your life. 😀
It's too short to worry about idiots
People are weird aren't they. Try and laugh about it rather than getting mad:
'I will not allow these people to pollute my mind with anger'
Should have told him you needed it because it's your arse butter that you rub on your bum each morning before riding... 🙂
Can I have some assertiveness training from Mrs PP !
Go move your tent to trefalen farm about 4 miles away...
Any idea what the best tyres for stealing butter are?

😀
Grum, agreed.
I have less self control. I'd have verbally ripped him a new arsehole.
applause for epicylco 🙂
Sounds like a scene from Mike Leigh's 'Nuts in May'
Funny if it ended in a fistfight in front of small children and everything.
I very nearly just drove over to find you to offer you some arse butter..
I live about 8 miles away
World is full lying theiving gits, probably why no one else dare leave there food there .
I hope your milk was sealed and unopened wouldn't suprise me if such people spat in it for fun , especially now they have had a strip torn off them by the good lady.
Were you and Mrs PP perhaps staying on a campsite near Annecy in September 2012?
Like a vicious rim-job? 😯I'd have verbally ripped him a new arsehole.
Report them to the camp staff they will normally ask them to move on but at least have a word in their ear.
Wee, old water bottle, drivers door handle on his car?

No, sorry, not us.
Pembroke castle is great by the way. 🙂
Pete,
The world's a shitty place at times.
In fact.
I can't believe it's not better...

Very good.
Utterly terrible DrP 🙁

Jeez? I mean seriously? Have you considered getting the UN involved? I mean, surely blatant steeling of dairy products must breach at least a couple of the Geneva Convention Rules? I hear Kofi isn't so busy these days, maybe you could get him flown in to mediate??
I mean, this is the sort of man that it's going to be very difficult to argue against:

I bet the butter thief would change their tune pretty dam fast!
😉
Just curl one off in the tub then put it back in the fridge.
Similar for milk.
Yay Mrs p
You should have gone over. I've said this before, you are a very nice man in all the dealings I've had with you, but the body art and piercings make you look scary. He'd have poo'ed himself when he saw you coming.......
I've seen the trailer...
Just go over and start to curl one out in the doorway of his tent. When he starts to complain, just maintain that it's the camp toilet and he's made a mistake?
You've got to be on your guard! These lovely campsites lull one into a false sense of security. Somebody walked off with my brand new electric shaver (bought that day), and more recently my bike!
I hope the incident hasn't put too much of a downer on your holiday, and that you enjoy the rest of your stay. Just keep your butter under lock and key from now on...
PeterP.. where you staying tonight?
Top marks to your missus there PP, good on her for standing her ground!
Glad to see you butter half retrieved the situation.
For goodness sake, what a nasty thing to do. Good on K for sorting him out and he certainly won't do that again. What a toe rag. 😐
Go around tomorrow morning and offer him an olive branch in the form of a borrow of your butter.
Take the opportunity to apologise for the mix up and thank him for the return of the butter.
And as he takes a bite of his toast say, especially as you do not believe in carrying both KY and Lurpak as, as everybody knows you may not be able to spread KY on your toast but you can dip your knob in the butter.
Sorry, I will get my coat. 😀
Good for you for not letting it spoil your holiday and churning the other cheek. This type of crime is spreading throughout the land and the perpetrators should be severely [i]pun[/i]ished.
Bike touring with butter? Do you have the bone china as well?

It makes my stomach churn just to think about this butter business.....terrible 🙂
Anywa,y, I remember about 5, 6 years or so back, me, missus, 2 kids, staying at the St Ives Bay Holiday Park. My wife put all our towels in for washing in the shared laundry- came back a few hours later- all nicked!
Used to work with a guy that spat in his butter and his milk before putting it in the work fridge. No one else knew, just me n him, needless to say I never used it....
Glad yoghurt it back. Sorry to say, it looks like this sort of thing is spreading. Pity there's not some whey we curd stop it.
Years ago when I pulled a Poly student- in a marathon session I used a hand scoop of marg from the fridge as lube.
Years later I pulled the owner of that marg. She told me that she knew but didnt want to throw it out/waste it.
Wtf. Huddersfield Poly girls were dirty mares
You used marg as lube? Most of the girls I've ever been with have never needed any kind of lube 8)
But that's f'king disgusting hora
It was a very long session 8)
It's ok as long as you don't double dip, surely?
Nice double standards Hora, and stealth misogyny!
It was a very long session
So she fell asleep?

Svalgis, nowhere does it say the lucky recipient was a she. I reckon it was binners, and he now feeds himself on Greggs dummies to try n forget....
Matt outandabout - that's me and hubby atm. We're out touring the c2c2c on our tandems (with another couple).
Not had anything nicked thank goodness, some people are just scum.
Asleep..need it
'Sore'
