Trading Standards have been pursuing the traders for punting out non-approved kit.Sunny wrote: Sat Nov 25, 2023 3:04 pm On the downside there were very few clothing stands, so I may as well have gone to J&S after all
Last year at the Feb show in Docklands trading standards came and shut down a few stalls whilst the show was on.The Spin Doctor wrote: Wed Nov 29, 2023 8:50 pmTrading Standards have been pursuing the traders for punting out non-approved kit.Sunny wrote: Sat Nov 25, 2023 3:04 pm On the downside there were very few clothing stands, so I may as well have gone to J&S after all

Airports are the same. Shit food at proper prices.Potter wrote: Fri Dec 01, 2023 5:36 am The food stalls at these venues are the biggest rip-off, disgusting stuff at stratospheric prices.

Recently at Dublin airport I was stung 50 quid for two coffees and 2 rounds of half assed toast and a sausage.
Nah,a captive (hungry) audience.
Heard a guy saying how someone ahead in the queue ordered food then, when told the price, said "Nah, keep it" and walked out.Potter wrote: Fri Dec 01, 2023 5:36 am The food stalls at these venues are the biggest rip-off, disgusting stuff at stratospheric prices.
I used to work for a company that put on conferences (amongst other media stuff), they're a really good earner for the organisers, the sales people selling places got paid well.Potter wrote: Fri Dec 01, 2023 12:01 pm These things are businesses and just like conferences they'll happily sting everyone to the maximum.
Although tbh I do quite like some of the trade shows, at least you get a chance to see the products and get hands-on with them.
I have a personal issue with conferences, they're like leeches on the side of an industry, they get people to speak at them for free, dream up some awards, buy some cheap trophies and then dish them out as industry awards, we all have to play the game around it but I find it all very false.
Having been to Motorcycle Live 2023 I can safely say most of the attendees could safely live on their fat reserves for quite some time.MrLongbeard wrote: Fri Dec 01, 2023 2:26 pm Ain't nobody forcing over priced food down your neck, and no one is going to starve to death if they miss out on a burger or baked spud for the day.
The daft thing is,Mrs.Skub would put an item back on the shelf if she thinks it'll be 10p cheaper elsewhere,then she'll bite (ha) for the likes of airport crap. Wiminnz.The Spin Doctor wrote: Fri Dec 01, 2023 1:45 pmAt that price, I would have sent it back and starved.
