I've been to the Dutch equivalent of this - de huishoudbeurs - once and I got nearly trampled to death by hordes of desperate housewives trying to get their hands on some freebies.  I have been traumatized ever since!  |

I went to the IHE a few years ago - and I wasn't well then either ;D I spent a lot of time sitting down on some funky chairs that looked like giant cotton reels, and cost about two hundred quid each  |

My word, after watching the children in that school when James turned up, I really wouldn't like to think of how the day is going to go with hoards of "happy shopppers" trundling round Earls Court. Better learn to run Mr May, even though you don't do it much |

Why don't you get some plasticine and have a bit of a practice before you go to the show.

Now I've been thinking about this ;D.....done flowers in icing...like on wedding cakes etc.......but plasticine, it's all floppy, unless it's got wires and smaller type flowers ( I'm probably bleedin wrong )....pastry is not bad, had ago yesterday, but not as good as icing, oh well ;D And when I mean floppy.....only when rolled out thin |

I'm confused. The Daily Mail continues to be nice about James. Do they know he is the same James May as the one from Top Gear? |

The organisers have to be nice because

The Daily Mail don't hate Top gear. They just think that using Tg as a whipping boy sells papers.
That and Woman works for the Evening Standard which is still related to the Daily Mail even after the takeover

Somewhat off topic, but since James is bugging everone around him to help him with his bloody flowers. It would be hilarious to have some footage of Jezza, Richard helping James out.
I wonder how The Stig reacts to Plasticine? ;D
