I know that feeling, Pete.
Once or twice in the past I have managed to get to The Hollow on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday and meet the early arrivees.
But, to get my book stamped, this often means that 'er indoors visits Ikea at J26 of the M1 as part of the trip.And sometimes takes my card!
Or we visit the step-daughter and grand gits at Burton, which usually entails me getting shafted on the way home for a McCrapper's for 6.
Still worth every penny for Boingering fun at The Hollow, though.
