Norwegian Log swims against tide of Spatex

Cabin manufacturer Norwegian Log is dropping a big one at this year’s Spatex 02 exhibition, by giving away what is surely the oddest prize of the year: a £5000 log cabin.

Although Spatex might sound like a fetishists’ convention, in fact, the Brighton-based exhibition, with designs by Jeffers West Design Group, is an international swimming pool trade fair.

Two questions. First, why hold a swimming pool fair in England? Second, what are you meant to do with a log cabin?

The best answers, addressed to Diary, will win a turkey sandwich.
