Spring Beaulieu, sounds a bit like an Indian resturant dish.
Perhaps the organisers should take the idea up. Mixed grill Indian style

Well I am not sure about Indian but there are plenty of stalls selling a Chinese menu of consumable tools! As to the same dealers moaning as a haggling lever I would say it was a weak one and rather suggests that these are the hangers on hoping for a change in the event. Our good chum G.O.G.G.O. of course has managed to find a tactical advantage so his expenditure on attending is reduced to acceptable limits plus he gets to have a weekend with his buddies. Of course if the rest of the stall holders woke up to this the event would not make so much money for the organisers but it does suggest some of the stallholders are way behind G.O.G.G.O. in lateral thinking.
Mannheim, well I am tempted to go but it would be as a vendor not as a customer. The exchange rate, Germany's better economy despite its own problems and the German's tendency to be a lot more focused in what they are doing rather than messing about could make it into a good event to clear stuff away to advantage and gain some euros.
