Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

I was in town today and saw a tremendous gadget in a shop. The "George Forman lean mean fat reducing grilling machine" Electric BBQ. If you have a power supply this could be the answer.

Actually, I was surprised when I first saw the box, as the word "reducing" is at 90 degree angle to the rest of the scrip and I couldn't read it. To me it read: "lean mean fat grilling machine and I wondered who would want to eat grilled fat? Then I remembered:


Mmmmmm.......    Grilled fat! ;D


Note to Nordic and Gibberish. The shop was TJs in Crawley Martletts. They've got excellent big gazebos with sides at £50 and those excellent fold down carryable camping chairs at £7.





Mmmmm.... More grilled fat.

Yeah, pretty sure there's sides all the way around, although a couple I think were like netting stuff. They're green and a funky hexagonal shape, although it would end up rhombus shape if our lot were to put it up pissed. :(

We had a big white 10 m x 3 m gazebo at LM last year - did us fine (and acted as garaging for the Cadillac - see picture)

HOWEVER one of our masses used it at his wifes birthday bash and it got a 'bit' knackered with the wind.

So does anyone know of a good shop selling 10 m x 3 m gazebos?

Reading Makro had the green stripey ones, 3 long and one wide, for £50 + VAT last weekend.

Thanks for that Smokie

We paid that last year from Reading Makro for a white one and it has done us proud at a couple of outings. One of our guys who can't make it this year had a green and white one too so it made a great banquiting hall putting them together.

May need to venture over with the missus' people carrier and geta  couple more for this year.

As an aside, a small 3m x 3m one that we took on a family camping holiday once was invaluable when it rained and we put our nephew's pup tent under it!!

For such little gazebos, I can find you here in LM and you'll pick it up next June
Le Mans is life, anything before and after is just waiting...

... it's not the taking part but the winning that counts !

I may find it for you...

... hold on a few days I'll give you the price.

SO it'll give you a few more available space in your car/trailer for extra beer/girlc  ;)

we bought a new one for this year to go with the new trailer. Its £50 from Argos , and bloody heavy , really heavy and big even when bagged up , but has sides and comes in a nice shade or Blue.
Take life by the horns and live it.
