I was always put off by the idea that it's heavily biased towards home systems -which are okay but I can buy all I want for pennies and store them in the loft as opposed to arcade machines which are large, heavy, often expensive and rare. It is also miles away from my front door though I see rather belatedly that it's somewhat closer this year as it's in Manchester.
Still the the roads in this country just get more stupidly managed every year, chocked up with comedy size SUVs wobbling round bends, low speed limits and the cost of fuel in this country make me increasingly reluctant to leave the house.... it took me 2 hours 15 minutes to travel 42 (ish) miles from Surrey to Bucks the other weekend
Truth be told I'd be raring to go if I was currently living a life of leisure but work takes up so much time that most weekends are reserved for sleep or playing catch up
