No telephone bookings. No online bookings. Cheques needing to be posted...

Are Messrs. Events and Exhibitions Ltd. living in the current century?

I guess that I'll have to que up with drinking vouchers clutched in my hot,
sweaty palm again.

I once paid in advance for the Harrogate show,waste of time.
The advance ticket turned out to be a voucher to pick up my tickets
when I got there.

At the time you could book online and IIRC postage needed to be paid
for the letter they sent containing the voucher as well,however this
cost was not added on until after the checkout process

I was totally unimpressed by the organisers and for me just not worth
the trouble of pre booking.

You could always give it a miss, and use the drinking vouchers for
their intended purpose.

No problems with either link here.
Unless Mark has a double and there's one of each!

Not knowing these gentlemen myself, could it be that one found a
strange leather object on the floor, that contained funny bits of
coloured paper, and they were trying to find out what said paper was
used for.

If so then it's probably the gorger standing behind judging by his
expression.

On viewing the picture again and judging by the look of pleasure on
his face he can't be spending money, surely.
I contend that he found it and once told what it is, he counting his
"winnings"

If you look closely the bloke behind the counter is handing out 20's.
No wonder Marks grinning as he stuffs them in his wallet ;)

That hand looks like Ketan Bin Laden's hand, so roll up folk to the
Harrogate show and ask for your £20 note as well, don't miss out, all
are welcome.

Is that in chapter 2 or chapter 3 of "How to win friends and influence
people"?
