Recommended Posts

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

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 :censored:

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!

 

They were using clear pipes.I say pipes it was like vent ducting but see through.Mines walked through the pipe lol

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

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.
