Fairgrounds, theme parks, circuses and carnivals
Tell us about the time the fairground came to town and you were sick in a hedge; or when you went to a theme park or circus and were sick in a hedge

My favoured alternative, as run by me at a couple of village fetes is the 'perennial lager tombola'. You assemble a stall with all the usual crap (bottles of shampoo, tins of peas etc, and then when some poor chump wins one, you offer to swap it for a tin of cheap Polish lager from the slab by your feet. When this is inevitably accepted, you slap a new raffle ticket on the shampoo, put it back on the stall, and recycle the whole lot. The net effect is of you selling 30p tins of lager for £2.50 a time, and still having all the stuff ready to set up the next tombola.
