~THE <strong>2018</strong> EXHIBITOR SURVEY RESULTS~<br />
Over the past couple of years I’ve delved into the potato preferences and holiday<br />
habits of our exhibitors – if you’ve missed the results (or wonder where all the<br />
exhibitors are) I can confidently tell you that they’re all by the sea… in a tent…<br />
eating roasties. This year I thought I’d do a bit of in-depth research into superpowers,<br />
tea-drinking and tree-dressing, best biscuits and worst presents. And this<br />
is what I’ve discovered!!!!<br />
Good old builder’s tea is the order of the day, made with a teabag. Most<br />
exhibitors aspire to the sophistication of loose leaves in a pot, but few of us have<br />
the patience to do anything about it. Not many take sugar in their tea, but those<br />
who do are inordinately proud of it and happily accept the censure and disdain<br />
of the non-sugarers. Milk in last – as some said “How on earth would you<br />
get the colour right otherwise!” – that’s artists <strong>for</strong> you… Oh – and if you<br />
haven’t got builder’s, Earl Grey will do nicely thanks.<br />
Some prefer a fine bone china cup – what kind of charmed<br />
lives do they lead!??? – but you’ll be safe as long as you serve<br />
it in a handmade mug.<br />
To dunk or not to dunk? An overwhelming “Yes” here! But there<br />
were just a few dissenting voices who view dunking as a vile perversion (they’re<br />
wrong, of course, but in the interests of serious research, I had to mention it).<br />
What to dunk? It seems Dark Chocolate Digestives top the leaderboard, although<br />
Hobnobs and Gingernuts are pretty close. But then they’re fave <strong>for</strong> non-dunking too.<br />
