the fairground one is nicer.

 

Dirty Dorothy was good too

 

Ohh Ohh, can I have one as well please Miss?

 

I have to agree, there was a big carousel too but I don't have any pics of that

 

I'm all out of traction engines, but you can have this little beauty instead

 

Thank you. Do you have anything in Royal Blue or British Racing Green?

 

These come in a fetching shade of poobus

 

I have one of those!

 

@Beaver was that near us?

 

Yep, not sure exactly where but the last village we went through before we got there was Aston

 

Bugger, wish I d gone now instead of shopping at Costco.

 

You missed a good one. We're thinking of camping for the weekend next year

 

(Camping at the steam fair, not Costco)

 

This threads just got me thinking. There must be loads of people on here who have never spent pounds shillings and pence or lived in a world without mobile phones or digital watches or personal computers.

 

You mean young folk

 

Yeah, they're the ones......gits. Youth, it's wasted on the young.

 

I didn't have mobile phones, but normal money was in full use by the time I came along. I don't really understand imperial measurements, well, except for pints
