Well, the BBC for whom I used to have the greatest respect for as the great broadcasting institution that it used to be, are trying to send us all into a post covid vegetative state of moronic depression, blaming everyone else for the reason that they are where they are! Fortunately not everyone listens to the BBC, we’ll not anymore. There are some people who have their glass half full and are trying to find bigger glasses!

Don’t go to craft fairs, nobody has got any money, there’s no point, nobody will go. Bollocks!

Had a great last weekend and had fabulous sales, average sale price showed that the BBC effect is not working, people are still buying quality. Off to a one Dwyer locally on Sunday and a rest for a fortnight then off to a three dayer over her Majs party weekend. Here’s the stand, refreshed but due for a rebuild in the run up to Xmas.

Well done mate, I know Bammer has been stalling out at each and every opportunity and has a good following, never believe everything your told in the press.... You can't even use a newspaper for fish and chips anymore, a total waste!

Please define normal:funny:

I agree what everyone is saying about no one having money, but that is what everyone is saying. I did a Rally the weekend and yet managed to have the best sales yet most of what sold was coloured pieces and the spalted bowls followed by my favourite item which always sell well the little bird houses i make.

This is the first event I have attended since all of the lockdowns. Loads of people and great to see some old friends there

You are right on the Beeb front mate.

I have done several fairs over the last 6 months and footfall and sales are really good.

As for people spending, yes they are. If we listened to everything we are told then we just become a minion and follow tradition. By the way, I looking for a bigger glass!:thumbs:
