scothunter 12,609 Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I got talking to a hot food seller , last year at one of our shows, ( i do the countryside marquee ) and they were saying they were paying £800 per day for their pitch. It was still expensive for food, but they said they were trying to cover their costs and wages and then a profit. So "god knows" what the prices are like for a pitch at the big game fairs. Well thats a possibility i never actually thought of. They must be raking it in the organisers of such events.Hmmm mostly a cash business aswell.Think i will put that post office job on the back burner. Before the ARVS come screaming at my door IT WAS A JOKE lol Quote Link to post
