It nearly killed me last time I went to Warwick, a little too tightly packed and upsy downsy for my legs to cope with.

Have fun, and I will get to see you all at Harrogate.

Post by: mklotz on October 14, 2010, 06:15:01 PM: I'm confused. Is "Alexander Palace" the British spelling of "Alexandra Palace"? I thought the former was in Russia and the latter in north London.

Post by: John Stevenson on October 14, 2010, 07:10:44 PM: You can't tell the difference Marv, there are that many Russkies in N London :lol:

Post by: DMIOM on October 15, 2010, 03:25:45 AM: anyway Marv, its often known as "Ally Pally" ! - both to locals, and to those who attend exhibitions there. It also became know to a wider audience as it was the location of the first "High Definition" TV transmitter (http://tx.mb21.co.uk/gallery/alexandrapalace/index.php) in Britain (pre-WWII when HD was the new 405 line B&W VHF service!)

Post by: kwackers on October 17, 2010, 05:11:22 PM: Well I went, but when I got near the Arc Euro stand all I saw was some demented mad man knocking seven bells out of expensive CNC machinery with a spanner!
I ran away and would have called the police but I didn't have my mobile...
