Honestly this is getting ridiculous. What has a menu for an airshow got to do with politics?


More generally, unless you’re actually using these enclosures who gives a hoot what the Menu is?

They (DBH,) as with every other Airshow organiser in the country, will have taken on board feedback of the enclosures users when forming this years plans - just like they do with FRIAT - I’m sure the menu would also be designed based on that feedback. Not on the views of those that have no (financial) interest in the enclosure.

This is all very confusing! I was hoping this thread might help with some market research for a new cafe in the Cotswolds I'm thinking of opening, but now I'm torn between opening the Lebanese Larder or the Xenophobes Sausage Club.

The former gives some kind of image of a partly blown up Fiat 128 covered in dust. I'd go with the latter and open it in conjunction with a B&B, I'm sure you'll get all kinds of misinterpretations from over religious zealots as to what might be being served up? :kiss: :cuppa:

Yeah, I don't think you need to worry about that.

The enclosures (nearly) always sell out in advance. DBH know their audience and the people using the enclosures know what they're getting - they couldn't care about the discussion over the menu on here.

I think you mean "bazaar".

Why?
Or is my repeated comment that I was considering buying CE tickets too difficult to understand?

The enclosures (nearly) always sell out in advance. DBH know their audience and the people using the enclosures know what they're getting - they couldn't care about the discussion over the menu on here.

The CE didn't last year, hence why they spent lots of time trying to flog the tickets during the show....don't think it sold out over a number of years.
Lots of people buy their tickets before the details are released, some don't care what's on the menu, others do -- as for DBH 'knowing their audience'....looking back over previous years would illustrate that they don't.

We do the Pimms most years, great for landing and take off shots, if you pick your moment you can minimise back ground clutter. You still get a very good view of the show, we do a day in the viewing village too and there's not much in it up in the air.
Love the food and comfy chairs.
£15 for a jug of Pimms though !!!! I assumed this meant I could keep the jug, so I did :)
