XTreme Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Fairs have changed a bit since the 60's......didn't seem like there was anything available capable of delivering Death and Dismemberment. No Mods and Rockers or Greasers and Skins fighting either! Still.....I had to take the grandkids so I made the best of it! Loads of stalls in the streets selling fake Nike and Adidas etc. Then into the fair..... I wanted a go on the Dodgems but Jake said I couldn't because I'm too old! Julian looking cool on the roundabout..... And we were there till it got dark.....then bought the kids whatever toys they wanted on the stall. Took them back to their flat then.....they wanted us to come in and play with them with their new toys. But we're not allowed to go in......our money can, but not us! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
