    I've never been, it's a long way away to see a pile of shiny, over-priced tut.

    Good market targetting though ... give away 10,000 free tickets to a site frequented by over-spenders with piles of credit cards.

    Genius.

    I went with a friend 2 years ago.

    I came away with two bags of free bits and bobs and bought some dryer balls for £10.

    She ordered a remote control automatic awning, approx £1500. 'Automatic' because it detects the sun and opens itself if its bright enough, so we haven't yet seen that part work! She calls it moneysaving because it will stop her carpets fading:rolleyes:

    Seems like a good year to go - maybe some bargains and half the stands will be uncrowded. Bliss.

    We bought some leather cleaner one year, still use it these days, works pretty well!

    Beware all you tight wads, you can't get in with the cheapskate tickets until after 5 pm. Okay if you live close by but a bit !!!!!! if you don't. Plus you will be frowned upon when you walk in after 5 they will know you are members of the something for nothing brigade. First stop any food tasting to sort teatime out, eyes on the deck at all times to look for coins you tight lot.
    I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:

    I have the impression PN that you are single, why are you, when you come out with things like this ? I would imagine most guys would jump at a woman who hates buying tat.:D

    Pigs don't smell as they are about the cleanest farm animal, also they don't !!!! everywhere - they create there own toilet area.

    Now if you said sheep then yes, they poo where they sleep, eat and drink. They also stink due to there wool gets covered in crap.

    Best farm'ish animal for a home back garden is a goat - great intelligent animals that are clean, very friendly and constantly get up to mischief. Just would need high fencing :)
