to a site where my tent guy ropes will be run over in the night
to a site where it's acceptable to play music as loud as possible at 3am on Saturday morning
to a site where the aim seems to be in seeing who can drink the most
to a site where there's no hot water (Arnage from 1985 to 2002 - don't know what it's like now)
to a site where there are loos only from Saturday morning to Sunday evening (ditto)
to a site where frequently indifferent food is served at exorbitant prices.

Instead

I'll eat three-course dinners. seated on a chair at a table with a tablecloth.
I'll retire at night after a stroll into town for a nightcap at the hotel
I'll sleep in peace and quiet and wake to the deafening(!) sounds of the birds
I'll be the only person in the showers at 6.30am

Not only that, but it costs me a tiny fraction of what it costs those of you who stay on the ACO's designated sites.
You forgot to mention the sound of the church bells, along with that lovely early morning bird song.....but then it wouldn't be the same without it would it !
See you there again this year
