bvw Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 Not been for ages but I know the last one held there was packed out. A friend of mine went and the place was absolutely heaving :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted January 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 Thakks both, I'll aim to get there about 1 then when the masses have gone home for Sunday lunch - freeing up the car park ( and the admission price is reduced :lol: )last time I went early + had to park half a mile away because of all the cars.

mark2 Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 I think I can avoid asda, so may be shopping for usb or firewire harddrive or anything else that may catch my eye as a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted January 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 mark2The usb hard drives were £69 if you didn't get there !It was even busier than I remembered, even arriving at 1 o'clock, but got the 2 things that I was sent there for (CDRW for friend, + speakers for daughter) for less than 1/2 of the shop price (after a bit of haggling).

mark2 Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 Had a bit of a rushed look round, found a few odds n sods I wanted, the only USB drive I saw was 129 about the same price I have seen on the net, Didn't get there early enough for the bargains, but I think I shall be there for the next one earlier tho. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted January 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 mark2The external ones I saw (only 3) were in red boxes (can't remember the name) over by the far wall in the middle. Sure they were £69 but couldn't see too well as there were a lot round that stand ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 I had a look at that stall, couldn't see any when I looked but it was busy there, next time I think I shall have to allow a lot more time to wander the stalls, was a bit rushed this time :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
