Ideal Home Exhibition this year.?...................................If you are thinking of going

[lilacben]

then I would think twice.! MY husband and I went on tuesday and iwe thouguht it was awful. The three houses where not worth queuing twent each for.! Unless you have a large house for the furniture those sections where not worth looking at. The garden section was just selling items,nothing new. Onlky saw one tiny garden joined to one of the houses, Then went for a Gregg Wallace carvery.!! Rip off at £14.99 for two pieces of fat , with a tiny bit of pork in the middle.. veg,nothing special and not very hot. gravy and yorkshire if you like them. .£5.95 a glass of white wine. We will not be going for a very long time .BUT that was our opinion. Anyone else been.?

a friend of mine went on monday and said how disappointing it was, nothing like it used to be! i guess its sadly due to the current economic climate.

it's a shame it's gone downhill because it used to be brilliant years ago. The entire top floor was given over to food and drink, and free samples of everything were available. I used to stuff my face and then get hammered (I was young) without spending a penny

we went yesterday and have to agree that it was not as good as it has been in previous years,we did not even bother with the show houses.Luckily we had bogof tickets so was not too bad, would of been more disapointed if we had paid full price.

Haven't been in a long time myself but my boss went the other day and said she and her husband had a really good day there.

Had intended to go, but you've put me off. It has been going downhill for a while now. Like Mrs O I remember when you could eat your way around.

Lol Mrs O, I did that at a food exhibition many years ago and I must have put on a whole stone in 1 day. My dad owned a cafe and we got invited.
