    The setup they had with tickets this year was a bit rough arse. 15mins walking from the far north carpark to the entrance in -2°C because they had 1 bus to cater the whole site, only to find I then had to que (which I had no real problem with other than for me being told I then had to walk to the far end of the building to replace my perfectly viable colour pass with an identical copy printed on sticky back paper, which I did not need to stick to anything! It contradicted all of the instructions that came with the pass).

    And then, the engineering section wasn't overly interesting, so I jibbed it off as a bad job and headed home.

    other than our fabulous company, no

    well, I say no, what I mean to say is there wasn't a lot for me, or folk like me. I think a lot of the smaller traders were put off by costs this year, possbly not enough left in their budgets to attend and show. I don't know.

    I had a good scout round the pistonheads section for you though.

    I sat down and thought about going ...it didn't add up financially even with the potential of a free coffee
    + for the first time in about 6 months I'm really stacked out with real paying work that is on a tight deadline

    I thought it was a bit lame too, problem is that there are so many big shows around the world now
