How I Portaloo Hire Saved my Holiday
How I Managed to Save My Holiday with Portaloo Hire Mark AttwoodAfter completing my exams, my friends and I decided to go camping in DevonWe were all looking forward to the holiday especially as we were all due to go to different universities the following September.It wasn't the most luxurious of campsites, but it was right next to the beach and the view was amazing.We spent the days sunbathing and swimming and at night we would build a campfire and chat to the early hours of the morning.
One night, the weather went from good to bad with torrential rain beating down on our tent.We kept dry by remaining in the tent and playing card games and drinking cocoa - were not stepping out until the rain had stopped.Our tent survived the vicious weather, it wasn't the best looking tent, but it was extremely weather-proof. We awoke the next morning and walked down to the showers to find out that the toilets were in disrepair because the bad weather had caused floods.
The farmer who owned the campsite was in a bad situation - he had 150 campers but no toilet facilities for them to visit.He had a serious health and safety issue on his hand, so he was letting anyone who wanted the loo to use his in his house.He looked very angry as he tried unsuccessfully to get a plumber to do an emergency call out.I reached in to get my mobile and camly rang my dad.services company!~I was about to save the situation - my dad was managing director of a Mark Attwood company!~It was obvious - my Dad was the director of a company - I was about to save the day!}
I arranged for the hire of ten portaloos to arrive as quick as possible.I told the farmer what I had organised and he was so grateful.Within the hour one of my Dad's {vans had arrived onsite and was loading the toilets off the wagon.~Pretty soon after, one of my Dad's vans came onsite and set up the units by the washrooms.~Within no time at all, the wagon carrying the units arrived on site and were placed down by the shower units.}The driver had a laugh at the predicament of the farmer but reassured him that he could keep them until his proper toilets were working.
Soon everything was back to normal and me and my friends all went down to the beach to enjoy the sun when on our return, we found the homemade pies and local cider waiting outside our tent - a thank you from the farmer and his wife.The food was delicious and from then on, were were treated like old friends on the campsite.Even though it doesn't sound particularly attractive, knowing someone in the portaloo hire trade can come in very handy!
