There's nothing I really want to see, and I don't need anything, so I'm not bothering.

No time this year sadly.

Plus covid concerns. Too many people in one place imo.

I bought an Abba Stand to lift the front and back simultaneously, saved about £10 on their website price. Bought a can of ACF-50 for £12. Gerbing heated gloves were around £200 so didn't bother. Sat on a Ducati Streetfighter V2 ver ver nice, downside is I was on my tip toes but they can lower the seat by 20mm. My mate said why don't you get some rubber added to my boots. That was a good shout actually. No Yamaha stand and not a lot of decent jackets or gloves to buy. I was hoping to buy some winter gloves but didn't come away with anything. Not many bargains to be had to be fair.

Yes mate. There's probably loads of Covid going round today. You had to prove that you were negative on arrival. Everyone was getting their phones out to show proof and the security weren't even reading the info. Masks were to worn, not many people wearing them. Car park was a farce. I pre paid for parking and the barriers were up anyway when we left.
