Oh, and as an aside, how many of you followed your sat navs into Stonleigh Abbey? Come on now, don't be shy, I saw at least four other vehicles whilst I was turning around :lol:

I had trouble finding anything to spend money on, even reasonal impulse buys were thin on the ground. Good to see friends though.
Oh, and anyone who thinks they can wear a bloody great bergan in a packed hall and constantly push through and then turn around is a twot of monumental proportions, and yes there were dozens of them, it's got a bloody handle on the top so you can carry it like a bag!!! Only shoplifters and wannabe's wear rucksacks where I come from.
I wish to propose the sport of Rucksack Linking.
Take some bungees with you - When you see two rucksack wearers standing close together - loop a hook through each one and move away - Wait for them to move in opposite directions and film the results on your phone. Best one from each fair wins a prize.

Yeah, we can do this right? how about spicing it up a bit and using one HE grenade and one smoke and we can bet on which one goes puff and which goes pop! Yeah! :lol:

I overheard them saying that they would give it a run when the weather gets better and would film it.

might still be worth sending Mark a message on the other forum as the story i was told was its owner is getting divorced and needs to raise funds. May get desperate and realise the errors of his pricing structure
