TEALE, NORMAN (1953 - ) Drunk, Peeping Tom. Teale inherited the Gateway to the Highlands caravan park from his wife Valerie's parents. Under his supervision, the site, formerly the recipient of various awards from the Caravan Club, degenerated into an eyesore. Never an enthusiastic host, his drunken outbursts and indifference toward guests' comfort and safety ensured that few visitors returned. By the time of Valerie's sudden death in 1993 the only regular guests were those eager to take advantage of Teale's laissez faire attitude to unacceptable behaviour. Unsuspecting first time visitors rarely stayed longer than a night. In 2000, health and safety inspectors, alerted to dangerous conditions within the site, discovered that the only functioning electrical items within Teale's caravans were the concealed tape-recorders and cameras.
