There is one thing that it brings that I can’t abide............

Fairgrounds... Now obviously I wouldn’t go in one - the smell alone puts me off buts it’s the damage they do to our lovely green parks. I stopped to watch ten minutes of cricket on One of our Greens the other day and the outfield has been affected .... also car boot sales get on my tits. And then there is...... frickin summer...

I love the smell of hot dogs that wafts sweetly through the fair - I can happily wander round enjoying myself without spending anything. If only the hot dogs tasted as good as they smell (they don't!)

If you own a business a stick out an A Board to put up a recruitment poster the Local Authority are all over you like a rash .... the Fun Fair arrives in town and posters are routinely fly posted, anyone prosecuted, no, thought not! One rule for one and one rule for another, year in year out.

I've always loved a funfair.

Walking across a darkened park towards the ridiculously distorted music blasting out from the old battered speakers, the smell of 3 week old grease being used to burn the f*** out of onions, the fun of having your change thrown at you just as the ride started and trying to figure out how much the pikey b******s had just robbed you of.

Forget Thorpe Park, a late 60s/early 70s funfair where the bolts only had to hold on for a week and there was no H&S. Proper excitement :thumbsup:

I tolerated them as a kid - even with the yearly punch ups with the kids from The Maybridge estate if it was at the lovely Palantine Park (cricket pitches cough) - and broke one of the dodgem boys ankles when he was showing off on the back of these pretty girls car. He jumped off just as I hit them side on. I didn’t mean to do it but I wasn’t that upset to be honest. I went back on the last ... half price night and he was still on crutches. He didn’t look that cool then tbh.
If you ate anything from their food stalls....good luck.

buts it’s the damage they do to our lovely green parks.

It really does not do any long term damage. Sure the grass goes brown after a lack of light for 7-10 days, but it recovers in a few weeks unless there are drought conditions. To be fair it was never a perfect lawn anyway, full of weeds, pissed and crapped on everyday (humans too), football and other sports etc etc.. Nah, it’s fine, The Level is still there isn’t it?

You’re talking about Brighton aren’t you ? I’m talking about the glory of Worthing and West Sussex’s parks. Higher quality areas altogether Woody.
Hot dogs made with 80% minced chicken.... how could you eat that.

Funfairs - really are a strange one in this day and age. How much longer can they keep going, they just never look busy. Compared to theme parks, the thrills on offer look very tame, conversely the age of some of the equipment suggests some genuinely frightening outcomes. I am however largely ambivalent.

Car boot sales on the other hand - FFS how many opportunities do people need to push shit from the boot of their car? Every other weekend on Adur Rec in the summer. What is the fascination? Other people are getting rid of stuff because it is shit, why do you think it will be anything else to you? What is wrong with just dumping all this stuff at a charity shop? The same shit shifters, can go sift through it any time of the week, without bringing Shoreham to a standstill on a Saturday morning. The tight wads might even bundle up all their stuff and get rid of it in one go, rather than coming back every two weeks, to see if someone will give them 50p for some shit that has sat in the attic/shed for the last 10 years. Plus some of the money goes to charity a win all round - and breathe.

Nice rant. I did one car boot over 25 years ago and sold a nice pram for a fiver thinking some mum to be would be dead chuffed she’d got a cracking bargain ( it was a top of the range.. Rolls Royce of proms)
Lo and behold some bitch bought it off me and even knocked me down pleading poverty and then half hour I saw it on her ‘stall’ for sale at 35 quid.
I was seething I tell you seething.
