Why are you going, besides the slime and giant deckchair? Any idea what the giveaways could be?

I will probably go to have a look at the buses, even though I see and use buses regularly anyway. The representatives might have something interesting to say, and I might get to sit in a driver's cab! I decided not to go to Seaburn today for the NEBPT rally mainly due to having nobody to go with. I like to see the pictures though and I enjoyed the Whitley Bay Rally last month. I am impressed with the repainted Go Ahead Northern Leyland Olympian. 

I couldn't get there in the end. Although, I was at a meeting not a hundred miles from the Centre for Life, I couldn't wangle a visit.

I would have gone along purely from a political point of view. In addition to the slime and giant deck chair.

Couldn't give two hoots about modern vehicles, but I would have been interested from a non-gricing perspective.

Sounds like a throw back to Noel's House Party. " alt="" title="">

Now if they said there was slime, a giant deckchair AND Mr Bobby - then I would have made all the excuses in the world to get out of my meeting!
