Hotelympia Day Three



The exhibition is at its halfway point today. Yesterday was fairly quiet but we had some interesting visitors and I think that the day went well. Marion and I had five minutes to spare and had a look at the prize winning cakes. Here's an amazing fishing tackle box cake - quite spectacular.



And this Simpsons cake was pretty impressive too.





Clearly no longer interested in cake is the new slimline Northern Area Sales Manager Peter Brindle who joined us yesterday for the rest of the show. Peter has lost so much weight lately that his clothes need alteration. If the exhibition goes quiet Peter's trousers falling down might attract a crowd. And if that doesn't happen we hope to have a laugh tonight when we go to London to the Comedy Store.






Yesterday's Zip colleague to join us at the show was Marketing Director David Bradbrook pictured here with Nick Neal. David was telling me about his mum and his mum in law who are in their late eighties and nineties and still active and pretty independent. With our retirement on the horizon I found that quite comforting although looking at the pile of pills on the bedside table in the hotel room I'm feeling pretty mortal (and the chambermaid probably thinks she's got a junkie in the hotel).

I'll leave you today with an appropriate video from a very funny guy. Old people rock. Of course they do.
