Most of us with a passion for boats will have been to the Southampton Boat Show and the London Boat Show.
They are events that the boating community look forward to every year.
Boat builders, and the providers of many ancillary services and products that are necessary or just fun to have, crowd into the exhibition spaces hoping to make a sale or get a subscription.
Often there are offers at the shows and nautical bargains to be made.
But the best bargains happen when you buy something you were going to buy anyway and get a 'bought at show' discount.
If you buy something you didn't really want and won't really use, then no matter how much money you 'save' it isn't really a saving.
But you knew that anyway didn't you?
Me too.
But we all do it anyway.
So which of the two do you prefer and why?
Is the Southampton Boat Show the best?
Or do you prefer the London Boat Show?
Please pop along to the group and let us know.
Which are your favourite stands?
