  1. I think it has or did have,

    "BIRDIE - taking couples on little adventures together and a chance for photos is always going to be one of our favourite things to do. Here’s BIRDIE heading back to @southfarm1 after a little trip in the countryside..."


    Saying that it still had wipers in the photo, maybe it was the other one, maybe there is 1 real and a ringer . I am confused lol

  2. Reading some comments on social media, 'birdie' is the actual wedding vehicle, this one is just a photo booth type of thing, its a tiptop whereas the one on crowdfunding page that they're trying to raise money to fix has a pop top. Basically trying to make people think its the actual wedding bus! Apparently they were told numerous times about the incoming tide by the campsite situated next to the beach, but ignored and carried on taking pictures!

  3. And why were they in a cave anyway?! Who gets married in a bloody cave? Batman?

  4. A few fruity questions on Facebook as to what the crowdfunding is actually supporting, and which van they’re referring to, and some somewhat vague replies...

    Is it an insurance claim?
     
  8. The rolling shell one that went for a swim is apparently called Pixie, although this doesn’t seem to be mentioned much.

    Looks more like an insurance claim, to me.... can’t do weddings, anymore, and the ‘dirty diesel’ tax of not being able to drive them through cities, soon...
     
  11. So its Pixie that swam. Pixie the converted panel van tin top with no running gear.

    Ah I see.

    Surely the insurance will be void if they ignored the warnings?

  14. It's all very odd, isn't it?

    Looks like they've edited their crowdfunding page!

    "The crowd funding will be used to rebuild the business and bring ‘BIRDIE’ back to life

    *To avoid confusion ‘BIRDIE’ is the the business name and both our pink camper vans are used under that name providing the same photo booth service
    "

    I'm not even convinced its odd.
    From what I've seen she has purposefully tried to mislead people over what happened, and what she wants the money for. If she'd admitted that it was to prop up a failing business, I doubt she'd have got half the donations she has. Snide as hell imho.

    Is it just me or have they removed the “it was nobody’s fault” line from their description?
     
  18. How far do you think the £20 they raised went towards the resto? :D

    £20 with 1 supporters in 28 days? Might get a new set of wipers with that!
