All the fun of the fair

The annual mop fair that we always travel to has arrived for 2 days.

My favourite things are the waltzers, umbrellas and toffee apples. They will never ever get me on the Ferris Wheel again though!

What are your memories or do you still love at the fair?

Brighton - even Hove!

I once bought a giant candy dummy off Brighton Pier and used it as a dildo on a sweet lady

I don't like fair rides anymore but used to like the rockets when I was about 7 lol

Hull Fair starts tomorrow. The largest travelling fair in Europe. A week of mayhem, empty pockets and typically rain lol. Every ride you can imagine from a travelling fair. Brings people to the city from miles around

You're right - Mr Brock was a goner with the first swing of the hammer. Your fish however had a looooong and paaaainful death in the sewer.

Which leads us only to one conclusion. My dad is a swift, efficient and ruthless killer. Your mum prefers torture and a drawn out demise.

I used to love travelling fairs as a child, the skankier the better.

But now as an adult I can't help standing there tutting and shaking my head at the shoddy construction of the rides and scant regard for health and safety.

the clue is in the word travelling.

The biggest rides. For a travelling fair are winter wonderland at Christmas in Hyde park. They come from Germany especially for that one gig

Get a few nuts & bolts, then go to the ride operator and say "Have these fell off your ride?"

Actually, Hull Fair os the largest of its type currently in the UK. A lot of the rides you will see at other UK fairs will have originated at Hull Fair. The setting up of the fair takes 2-3 weeks, lasts 8 days, and,attracts 500,000 visitors. It is also the oldest fair in the UK too.
