Post by: GROWLER on October 23, 2012, 05:08:29 PM
Bloody rip off.
Same price, same staged shite no doubt too, but hey ho, what the hell if it keeps G jnr happy, and it's a day out besides, BUT there is NO classic car show as part of the deal this year. cussing:
They've moved that to mid November now, to presumably squeeze more dosh out of you if you want to visit it....bastards! Angry9:

To be honest I had to read it twice before I realised you weren't talking about our famous pickled onion producer Tail Gunner.

That was where I started. It was the "Live" that threw me.

I thank Growler for his restrained and unusally coherent reply.

After doing some intermong research, I discovered that many use a station at Berkswell, just 6 miles from the NEC, free car park, and the train stops right outside the NEC too. :thumbsup:

Staion was deserted so no ticket.
Sign on platform said purchase one off the snr. ticket collector on the train.
Must have been his day off, so free ride!  whistle:

Show is getting a tad boring now tbh.
Same ole stuff, relabeled and givin' a lick of paint basically. sleep017

Exhibition was poor compared to previous years, especially as there was no Classic Car Show either.
Spoke to a rep. of that show, and he told me it was all the Beebs fault, as they wanted to attract more punters with families this year, hence it being held during half term.
It werked unfortuanately for us with no sproglets, as the place was piggin' HEAVIN' with them, running amok, screaming, being a pain in the arse, and generally overly excited. evil:

I have to say, it sounds like the show itself. I use to enjoy it, but it stopped being entertaining around three years ago for me
