RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted November 19, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 19, 2011 *rubs hands in invisible soap* I visited today and there was soap in the dispensers! I liked Fulton Terminal. (New York Harbor, lots of 45 ton diesels, car floats etc) Creek Leigh Ferry had some very nice models of local buildings. Fortunately (?) the most interesting trade stand (for me) was cash only but I did manage to excavate the deeper reaches of my wallet to get a few purchases.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted November 20, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 20, 2011 My God, was that yourself? I was definitely me. Were you Totally American? I didn't see a horse tied up round the back. I should have realised from your traffic comment on Friday that you would be in Southend. They really should have a cash machine at the sports centre!

Horsetan Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 ... They really should have a cash machine at the sports centre!... Be careful what you wish for! It was a pretty good turnout, I thought - Sunday seemed noticeably busier than Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
