BETT Show 2010

Today I was planning on making it to BETT for a couple of hours in the afternoon, as I was en route to another event in the evening. The snow, however, has had other plans! Whilst I went about my morning activities, I kept an eye on Twitter (and SW Trains website, but more Twitter) as to what was going on on the trains, and the news was not good, fires, long delays, cancellations, and even at rush hour there were reports that no one knew when the next train out was goin go to be, so regretfully I didn’t go! Hopefully they’ll put some more info on YouTube – they have a load of videos from 2009 on there at the moment! Was interested to note that James Clay feels event is too tech-focused, which is not my area of interest either – just the uses to which it can be put!
