I went for years to this and enjoyed it a lot. the past 2 years I haven't gone.

simply because I don't like being barged into by plenty of people in a small space. it annoys me. also the price to get in, on top of the fuel, hotel and then paying to park.

a single night out works out at nearly £200. no thanks.

Paying extra to park does annoy me too ... NEC owners taking us for granted!

The last time I went I thought that the prices charged by the onsite caterers were outrageous! The food was nothing special either.
