bob300w Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 yep date comfirmed we (btms, myself and our mrs) will be up on the saturday we will all have to meet in the beer tent . only thing is what is the exchange rate for £s into sheckles Where are you staying? I've booked in for saturday night at the Quality hotel 3 minutes down the road. They did ask if I needed stable facilities, and they did get awfully confused when I tried to explain the workings of the horseless carriage. Thomas Cook is doing a good rate on shekels at the moment by the way, 18 to 1.Or was that turnips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob300w Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Now what these owd naarfuk boys didn't tell us 'outsiders' is that by going to this page, you can get tickets for 7 quid, instead of 10 quid at the gate. http://www.seetickets.com/see_multi/price....&pgroup=all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Quality hotel? Is that the one with the dirt floor and bales for a bed? Not sure I like the sound of that, all a bit biblical. No nearer a consensus on being there yet, but plans are afoot. All I need to do is get my immunisations up to date for Typhoid, cholera and yellow fever and I should be sorted. What sort of trade goods should I bring? Beads for the natives? I guess I could bring a torch to impress them with pocket light, or maybe a box of lighters so they don't need to rub sticks together. Ah... I love this sort of trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I like the sound of that, all a bit biblical" For 80 turnips a night I expect hay bales at the very least, and the chances of my old gal giving a virgin birth went about 45 years ago, so I'm fairly safe there. I would forget the torch, the last 'furriner' that took a torch across the border was burnt for witchcraft. (last saturday at closing time).

Harnser Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I feel some what obliged to warn you suffolk and essex boys that soon as you cross the waveny at diss you will then be seen as an easy touch for the locals . My advice to you is to keep driving and dont stop untill you get to the show ground . If you should manage to find your way to the beer tent ,no 1 ,dont drink nelsons revenge ,only real men can drink it ,and number 2 make sure you have some sprouts in your pocket for small change ,as you know the turnip is a large some of money and they wont allways give you change ,and as for paying 80 turnips a night for lodgings ,you shouldnt have been paying more than 30 carrots , I told you that you will be seen as easy touches .

Suffolk shooter Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Will be going again as we haven't missed the last four years, good show, some nice stands and abrgains to be had. Look forward to watching the same old displays though in both arenas, could do with something different in that respect. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Quickshot. You have too much free time on your hands. You need a job! I think I have a packet of sprouts in the fridge, so that's change taken care of. Still need something for "folding" money... Sugarbeet? Seriously though, is the show dog friendly? I'd like to bring the puppy with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need lower denomination notes, lettuce leaves are accepted in most hostelries. Whatever you do, don't try and use a credit card, causes widespread wailing and much gnashing of teeth. No idea whether the show dog is friendly or not, I didn't know that they had one. I did intend taking my dog, but I think that being stood on all day by a nation of ooh-arring yokels would be too much for her.

If you want to go for the top end water you can get the dwile ( dish cloth ) filtered brand,it tends to be a little bit greasy but has a real rustic taste .

Wookie Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Footpads? Is Naaaarfuk that advanced? I thought they still went round in packs armed with clubs and saying "Ugh". Ah well, I guess evolution had to come to town one day. Quickshot. That's a bit of a nightmare. Be careful up north, if they here you're not 'prenticed, they might kidnap you and put you to work up chimneys. Assuming they've worked out how the "fire" thing can be controlled...
