Ok being the good son that i am i have for the last 3 years run the gauntlet of the good food show with my mum.I have to admit i love and loath this event in equal measure.

The trip is organised by my old school of which my mum is still involved in,so this morning i get onto a coach full of women and reluctant husbands.I say reluctant as many of them are only going to keep the peace leading up to Christmas and that they know they are going to be dragged around hundred's of stalls that are selling many a kitchen gadget or implement that they have no clue about.The only light at the end of the tunnel for them is the free food and booze to be sampled.

I on the other hand have an advantage on these guys,i did train as a chef and i do get excited about the kitchen gadgets and stuff.Also looking at the potential for using food stuff's i've never used before excits me(not in that way you perv's)ok ok i just like running around trying the booze and food as well!!

There is a dark-side to this story,i have to say the show would be alot better without the general public.People who know me,know that i am quite a laid back easy going person,but after dealing with ignorant moron's all day i tend to get a little tetchy!Next time i go i'm putting on full body armour and sticking out my elbow's to wade into the throng!The amount of people barging past me running over my feet with those damn stupid trolleys they all take to cram in all the stuff they're gonna buy(mainly booze),all manners seem to be thrown out the window and when you say something the dirty looks you get are ridiculous!

The funny part of the day was a couple of stands my favourite i visited 4 times was the gordon's gin stall that was giving out free samples of gin and tonic or sloe gin and apple juice.In order to prevent people from abusing the free sampling they would stamp your hand with a green g to say that you have had a freebie,but the ink was easily wiped off hence the four visits!!! The other fun part was the visit to the Hersey's stall,i know of a few people here on ic whom are addicted to Reese's nutrageous bars.so i took advantage of the fact o could get a box fairly cheaply as i stepped up to the stall the gentleman running it shouted up"Ok everybody you've come to the stall at the right,if you can guess the relationship between us behind the stall here you can have this beautiful leather holdall!" Obviously looking at the guy and the three ladies they ere a family his wife,daughter and either other daughter or grandaughter.This is where my cheeky streak came into play quick as you like and with a great big grin on my face i pointed to the lady that was his wife and said "That's your daughter!!"Lots of people tried half heartedly to guess in the end i got the bag.See there are advantages to being cheeky .... i mean playful!!!

I thought you had a stall showing your "special" water
And Sloe Gin with apple juice is just WRONG. Neat is the ONLY way (and home made 3-4 years ago helps.)
