New Brighton fair
I was on a date (with a girl) with limited places to go, so I took her to the fair for the afternoon, candy floss, hot dogs and suchlike before sampling a few rides, she wanted to go on the waltzers so on we got and the pikey's (staff) started doing their thing spinning us around as fast as they possibly could, the ride ended and off we got ever so slightly dizzy.

Time for a sit down I think, too late my body's already thought of that, when I wake up my date was looking bemused, almost as bemused as me actually, so up I get and sit on the bench then proceed to decorate the promenade with the foodie delights I'd eaten earlier. I was ashamed, She was horrified, I was 19*




*so was she

I took the little one a couple of months ago, quite nostalgic.
Did you ever bother with The Chelsea?

luckily I just missed that era,
I was on the scene when it was deemed ok for the bouncers to knock people unconscious if they misbehaved slightly. I seem to remember one drunk bloke getting beaten so badly he was put in a wheelchair.

We put some money in one of those grabber machines on the front in New Brighton.
It must have been the only grabber machine working in the favour of the punter.
Everything you aimed at, it deftly picked it up, held it firmly, and dropped it into the tray for collection. Ace!
So we went and bought some black bin bags and set about winning as much as we could carry.
