Rolling Country Cottage Promotes Dating Service and Other strange Stuff

If you live in the rurals of the UK, life can be lonely. Leave it to a couple of enterprising ladies to start a match making service for country-living lonely hearts. To promote their new service, they painted up a motorhome and started on a tour through the UK's rurals.

It takes a contortionist!

Here's an interesting "RV" pulled behind a bicycle. The image (and accompanying story) is from a long-ago issue of Popular Science.


Of course, why, "an admiring hotel doorman"? Was he just stopping off at the hotel for a quick soda, or did the claustrophobia get to him?

'Nuf to ruin your whole day

"Ah spring!" says the RVer. "Time to open the LP tank valve and fire up the hot water heater!" So the first-of-the-year de-winterizing begins on a quiet Saturday afternoon on Washington's San Juan Island. Probably a good thing the motorhome's owner went back inside the house, because he'd soon disturb the quiet afternoon with a BOOM! that brought the local fire brigade.

Yeah, it's too bad he didn't realize somebody had disconnected the gas line from the refrigerator. No injuries, other than maybe a gaping hole in the owner's pride.
