Bazz@
Here is a hypothetical for you all. Imagine this, say there was a group of 4 and you were on the road and you had run into a couple in a
campground 1000ks or so ago exchanged niceties etc and you found out someone else in your group had invited them to come along for the rest of the journey. Now imagine this is a 6 month journey, and you are only 1 month into it. The ppl that are invited have not offended in anyway but are just not the kind of ppl you would wish to spend the next 5 months with what would you do without upsetting your friends or the ppl they have invited???
I just thought that this may have actually happened to some ppl and wanted to know how they handled it, or perhaps what anyone would do if in the same position??????
Cheers Bazz

A few ideas, and may
test friendship of others, but if they cant handle these ideas for a few days,
well, how good a friends are they.
1.Go au natural for a couple of days
2. Sing George Formby songs all night and day (and over the 2 way)
3. Pretend to crack onto his wife (if u can handle it)
(Is car sabotage to radical?)
or Just say your piece to the others, sooner rather than later.

We do tag along and have had groups of friends away with us that have never camped together.
One lot after day 4 they nearly came to blows (not that the others in my group new this)
I have also had many groups of perfect strangers meet and have become very good friends and now get together every year for holidays.
I personally couldn't see how a 6 month trip with a group of people could work.
All the best

I have watched this thread for a couple of days and finally feel that i should respond.
As Bazz has said the people haven't offended you in anyway, i am a little dismayed that a large number of people have suggested some pretty rude things to do to them to get rid of them.
Put yourself in their shoes, they met up with a group and were invited to come along, as far as they are aware the group invited them.
I agree with those who suggested being truthful about the situation and disicuss it honestly.
