I would love to go to something like this show but I just cant be bothered to travel half way up the country. I wish they would do regional shows.

You could have made a weekend of it and stayed in nearby hotel.  I’m sure Daz could have recommended some 5* ones.

Can't be bothered and would like a regional show?
With the size and success of your business I personally would have thought you of all people would appreciate the work Mark puts into these shows. It's central location is fair to most.
Stupid comment to post imo
Good luck with the show Mark

Actually I appreciate the work Mark has put in a great deal more than you do. I used to do events management and booking sales in a previous job and have worked many times on events such as these. So my comment isnt stupid at all, its just my opinion which I believe I am intitled to. I would like to go and I wish Mark very good luck.

Maybe , just maybe with all your experience your opinion may have best been kept to yourself.
If we all can't be bothered or find it to far to make the effort for, he will stop organising them.

I agree it doesn't make you stupid. I'm not going but i'm not so sure Regional shows would be any good. Its a big set up for suppliers to set their stalls up, we are a limited market so National would be better for them in that sense they reach more. But also i'm not sure i'd wanna be rubbing shoulders directly with my competitors (Regional show). And in your case seeing how you have expanded, the only one at a Regional show in your area might just be you, on your own !!!   ;D

I think the opposite. I think if it looks like b******s i'll say its b******s. The keyboard is the only medium available to me. Not that i've said anyone said b******s, but you get my point. Thats why we have "reviews", its so other people know. Some people find that tough and threatening. Not me, i'm not arsed. Point is a lot of people are only ashamed of what they said and done when its prompted (via Keyboard) to a wider audience, Stick that in your pipe and smoke it !   ;D

 last year to see and speak to GrippaTank at their stand, then shortly after ordered a system, but there is a lot to see
 there, well worth going,  Mark Munroe i must say has put a lot of work into this show and done a great job.

Had a need when we were in Scotland to use your Health system.   I have to say I was very impressed we got an appointment for my wife and in less than 2 hours she had been seen by a doctor got a prescription and it had been dispensed (Free of Charge). 

Down here it would have taken at least a day to get an emergency appointment then they would have produced a prescription then you would have to drive to the pharmacy to et it and pay at least £18.   So don't knock it

I won an auction for an x line Guttervac system. I was in the market for one as we’re struggling with just the one. Got if for £575 + Vat. https://www.xline-systems.co.uk/en/xline-shop-2/gutter-vac-systems/xline-3500w-gutter-vac-carbon-poles-complete-package-256-detail

No worries,  I was meaning to speak to Kevin to say hi as well but when I got there, I forgot to do so 🤔.  Also meaning to speak to the chap selling vision as he's quite a helpful chap on the Facebook pages, though not interested in any vision.

Saw some nice signage on vans and got some ideas from them for when I upgrade the van.   Bought some Hypo for a job on Tuesday after being reassured it was a fresh batch made in last two days. I normally buy through ebay but recently when I've used them they are so weak and possibly past their shelve date.

I wasn't able to make it myself as I'm very busy with other stuff.  I hope to make it to a show one of these years.  I've been to a couple down the years.

The first was somewhere around Birmingham way about twelve years ago.  I met a few of the people from this forum including Tosh, Dave from Cornwall, and Ian Giles of the world-famous extremely long posts.  Squeaky didn't make it.  Oh yes, and there was some local guy, whose name escapes me, who bore an uncanny resemblance to a young Jasper Carrot.
I also went to one at the Excel centre in London a few years back.
I like to go to shows as part of a few days off.  When I went to Birmingham I was en route to the frozen North to visit relatives, so killed two with one so to speak.
