I didn't go either although its not far for me , some family stuff to do and that long walk may not be a good idea with the old knee joints at the moment .
I don't sit in on the lectures as , basically , I 'm getting Peed off with all the bullshine we have to put up with , it usually costs us more money in the end.
I like to see if there,s any any new ideas on the stalls , have a chat with the ELECSA man if its my usual assessment guy ...have a chat with the Denmans guys , its usually the local ones , listen to the spiel from the stalls ....bit like the old Bull Ring Market .
About 3 years ago it was good to meet a load of Forumites in person ...Sidey , Canoey , Andy , quite a few more .........You don't forget Sidey , once you met him .
