ferret racing

[scothunter 12,609]

Was up at the game fair in scone today.Went down to watch the ferret racing.Wish i hadn't lost a fiver.

No a bad wee money making scheme think i will get a stall next year lol.On a more serious note how the f**k can they justify the prices they charge for food.The day was great and lots to do but come on £4 for a plain burger roll

They are allways charging loads at those sort of things! I suppose people get hungry and pay it! I am going to start some ferret racing but I have to wait until I can get some good long drainage pipes!

Funny you say that sue,on the way out a lot of ppl were sitting in at there cars with picnics.I will remember that next time Think the prices were shocking in saying that there must have been about 10million worth of 4x4 in the car park lol

was it a bring your own one then? All the ones ive seen have ferrets there and you just watch! I think you can use drainage with sections of mesh so you can see how they are doing

We take our own food i usually end up carrying it and when the show finishes we go out and light a disposible barque its great fun seeing everybody sitting in the traffic and were tucking into our grub

Dunno if it was bring your own or not.Im sure they wouldnt have minded if you did.It was all for charity for scottish ferrets so a good cause.

By the time you pay your entrance money and something to eat a gamefairs no a cheap day ,the only saving is if your needing bits and pieces you save on the postage buying from wholesellers

[victor 10]

eat as much food before you go there, should save some thing,

and here when there is a ferret race it is always agie pipe they use.

I got talking to a hot food seller , last year at one of our shows, ( i do the countryside marquee ) and they were saying they were paying £800 per day for their pitch. It was still expensive for food, but they said they were trying to cover their costs and wages and then a profit. So "god knows" what the prices are like for a pitch at the big game fairs.
