As an exhibitor I miss the whole experience.
Last minute repairs and modifications. Loading up. The lunch on the way. The set up the night before. Testing and fixing. The "check into the hotel and find somewhere to eat" . The hotel breakfast lottery. The look around a show before it opens and check out the "competition". Bag a few pre show bargains. The show opening. The great British public in all its awesomeness. The buzz of a busy show. etc. etc. You can guess the rest of the weekend.
Even miss the characters you get at shows that you sometimes wish to avoid.
Really looking forward to getting back to this all one day.
Flippin virus.
ps. I do draw the line at missing the backpack brigade though. There are limits to nostalgia !
