This year, I'm sure there were more agents there trying to sell condos! It was just like walking around one of the malls in Manila!

We went up on Saturday and spent time with friends in London. but two buses went from our hometown, so there were plenty of familiar faces around. Also, my wife kept meeting people who she either worked with in the Middle East or studied with. Seems like they've all ended up in the UK!

It was a good day out. There were a couple of showers, but not enough to spoil the day. I'm sure we'll be there next year too.
We braved it again or in truth I was asked upon waking up what time we were setting off. Dodged those damned lights by heading south from Great West Rd onto Sutton Lane. Huge turnout today compared with yesterday by the time we rolled up at 12.30, there was a shower at about 2.15 or so but hunkered down under the brolly. Giveaways seemed a bit scant compared to previous BF's. I snigger at the tacky product / service promotional spiels by the screaming onstage front persons - I was half tempted by the "100% Rockwell" condos for only £75 per month but decided I might need to up my booze budget if minimum alcohol unit pricing comes in.

Might check out the Worthing bash subject to wifes work rota and shipping forecasts.

Malchard that DHL plane came in again at about 5pm
