The fair was the annual 2 weeks summer holiday, when all the different industries shut down. Each area had a different 2 weeks but many of them over lapped. We used to go camping around Scotland,usually in the rain Then on 1 occasioned went to the south west of England and it rained there as well. The tent blew inside out because of the high winds. The fair down here finished at the weekend and those that still take it would have gone back to work this morning | |||
