Blimey there are fairs everywhere.
We're currently suffering Hull Fair. The local media tells us every year how it's the largest travelling fair in Europe and has over 700 years of history. I would have thought that 700 years would be long enough to come up with something fun and entertaining rather than the veritable CHAValcade of slack jawed ne'er do wells being ripped of by pikeys. And every year, despite it being October, there's a "Santa" with a lucky dip wearing the scruffiest of suits with white trainers, which, added to is whippet-like build, suggest he's more used to "getting on his toes to escape the filth" than spreading joy and goodwill to all.
