I'd have rated it the other way round TBH.

Enjoy the grub

And be sure to slag them for their site... tell them they need a British designer based in Canada for it

here's my review:

It was packed out and about 200 people were lining up to get Les battersbys autograph...(no shit)
there was also a sign saying 'max 80 signings per person'...madness.

Hatty Hayridge from Red Dwarf had about 5 people waiting to meet her. haha actually felt a bit sorry for her.

But the real reason I went was for the British food - people were practically punching each other out to buy stuff like Halls Soothers and malteasers.
but I managed to fight my way through the crowds to grab some of my favourite things.
e.g irn bru, various UK chocolate.

oh, and I had a severe hangover with pounding head all day not helped by either the "Skiffle kings" or the bagpipe band playing at approx 500 decibells.

bit of an endurance day come to think of it actually.

<edit>
I almost forgot - on the way out I overheard two old ladies from Birmingham talking. One said "did you enjoy that Margaret?"
Margaret - "not really, I found it disapointing"

so, it's true. We do actually enjoy complaining and queuing up for things.

the end.
