    The sum was from memory during a conversation with him 10 years ago so it might not be 100% correct, but I don't remember it being quite a sucking through teeth sum (at least to me) At that time he was working from a farm which I think was his dad's and hadn't been an exhibitor before so was going to try it so maybe the business he got as a result surprised him as for me it was a bit of a faff to travel to him to get the imprints done where as at the show he's likely to get a fair amount of passing trade that he otherwise wouldn't get and as we know with biker mates those who get them will loke to brag how good they are. Mine worked well, the issue I had was with speakers in my helmet they put pressure on the fresh bits of my ear so if I was doing it again I'd get the ones with the integral earphones built in as my problem was with my helmet set up, not the ear plugs themselves.

    We took our own food, but it was £6 ish for two Americanos which was fine.

    I think possibly the reason why those bargains are no longer is because we are remembering the show pre internet. In those days the only way companies could dispose of end of season items was at things like the Motorcycle show and they were prepared to heavily discount so they didn't have to cart anything home. Nowadays they can sell on line for as long as they need until stock has gone so no incentive for that show discount anymore. Just a thought ;)
