Very sad for sure. But I get lost trying to parse the article. Google says “Caravan park” is like an rv park. Generally for recreational vehicles on vacation. But the image looks like a fixed structure type place. Google also says a caravan park is for spending holidays, and the article talks about them being excited to spend the holidays together. So I thought I had an idea of what this was. Then the article has a bingo caller saying that everyone behind the bar knew them well. And my first thought was… she’s 10… in the US, “behind the bar” means bartender. My second was that doesn’t sound like a holiday place. Can someone fill me in on what a caravan park is, what behind the bar means, and what kind of place this pub is. Thanks.

    Caravan owners will often holiday in them frequently, though others will mostly/exclusively use them as holiday lets. I believe that they can’t be occupied all the time (maybe 10 months in a year) so no permanent residents (I could be wrong on that though.)
