I went on Sunday only stayed a couple of hours.... I thought it was very poor..... And the prices ...can't see how they can justify it...£6.95 for a cheese burger... Bloody cardboard one at that.... Everything was so expensive.......... I think it's my last..... As usual the cost cutting will be the death of it.. The guys who had the stands were saying they were being charged ludicrous prices for the plots...
We looked at a BM stand at the nec and was well over a grand for the classic show so would have thought it would be at least double for the main show unless your big and can lose it against tax your pushed out on cost alone
That much for a stand, £20 each to get in and they're cost cutting??? Looking at the number of people on sunday alone someone is making an awful lot of money.
Guys it is always like that at the big rally's....they always say we don't make money at them...... I don't believe it for a moment....someone is always making money...
I know of one food vender who refused to put his prices up at a rally said he didn't want to give himself a bad rep when he usually sold for a set price everywhere else.... and was told if he didn't do it he would not be allowed to trade.....
Johny, I've heard of that happening at the airshow where I used to work. A friend of mine with a burger wagon was threatened by the other stall holders because their prices were too low. It's not the organisers of the show that set the food prices, just the pitch prices.
I saved my mates a fortune by getting them burgers from SR Mess tent where we had our own bbq. lol.
Apologies to everyone that I was so hung over from Guinness Red Wine and Tequila the night before that I didn't make it till 12.45 and that the only person I saw was Lolc aka Lawrence.. But we did have a wickedly lush day! Sadly.. this is first time I have had a chance to post about it...
From the day itself.. all I got out of it was spending time with two people I care about.. some shammy leathers.. a heated pack for my breaking back.. a massage and confirmation of the "Big Bike" I want to ride... Oh and an wickedly lush iced coffee.. although I probably could have put a down payment on said bike if had not have had coffee!
