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

A friend of mine from a young age was obsessed with them, he had pictures of them on his wall and traveled for miles to spend hours on end riding them. I often wondered why his parents spent the time and money on such an obscure and dead end hobby.
As soon as my friend was sixteen he ran off and joined the fair and trained from a grease monkey up to dodgem controller.
One fateful day there was a nasty crash involving a little girl and an old lady , my friend got the blame (even though he was off that day) and was sacked. My friend came round crying to my house and asked how he could get his dream job back.
I suggested he sued them for fun-fare dismissal.

I was caught blind-sided on that one just like a dodgem.
