happy new year all :)

 

I've noticed on the chris dyer fairs site that the 2 shows locally in brecon and llanelli are under new management, is there any word about reinstating the cardiff train/toy fairs please? as it's a bit of a trek to llanelli and brecon 

 

Unfortunately due to a very foolish comment by myself on here which I now wholeheartedly regret, 2 years ago I was no longer made welcome at lord and butler so unable to get second hand stuff as much as I used to 

Many thanks 

 

 

Admin please move if in wrong area.

Many years ago I visited the late lamented Cardiff Ian Allan store with my partner. She had never set foot in such an emporium in her life. Her reaction, inspired by Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C Clarke: 'My God! It's full of nerds!' Fortunately no one heard, so no one got banned!

Why not ring them up, speak apologetically and ask if the ban can be lifted? All they can do is tell you to get lost!

I use lendons as it is just up the road from me, as he does spares etc, which Lord and butler dont, and i tend to not go to lord and butler any more due to the following reasons

1- I have to drive right across cardiff to go there pain in the backside on a saturday fuel cost etc, only time I need to go across cardiff if im in work at cbyc or with sea cadets

2 - Dont have what I want -they dont do spares, and sometimes their s/h range needs lot to be desired. 

3- I've found in the past that their S/H locos need full strip downs and overhauling,

so I dont use them anymore, but rob at lendons is always very helpful with me, and he also does loco remags as well, plus he does ringfield etc spares so I will give him definate thumbs up :D, and he's local so a bonus, he is starting up a second hand range so will keep a keen eye out on his site.

edit i'm longer welcome at l&b due to my comments, i'm entitled to my own opinion and said it as a customer.
