May 25, 200719 yr Rickety rides, large groups of suspicious looking charvs and a hell of a lot of caravans. Its that time of the year again!Lock up your dogs everyone: The Shows have come to Bedlington!Funny you should say that! my mates dog has went missing this afternoon and he thinks the gypos have thieved it,it`s a staffy cross and answers to Patch...it`ll be easy to spot coz it`s nipples are like conkers coz it`s not lang since it had pups.also,if you talk to it ,it`ll say "OOH"So if you see it anywhere near the gypo site or wandering around Bedlington can you leave a post and let me know..Thankyou
May 25, 200719 yr Very exciting. So not exciting..i can`t stand the shows,even as a kid..they should ban them..all the side shows are rigged,the shows themselves are dangerous and cost a fortune and the whole place is full of dodgy dorty rip-off merchant gypos..

I can smell the toffee apples and candy floss just thinking about it! It does bring back memories Esme, the days of the dodgem cars and waltzer, it was a rough old field in them days and the Doctor pit was still working. The coconuts never seemed to fall off when you hit them, it was as if they were glued on. If you won on the bingo you got a cheap chalk ornament. Good days.
