All the fun of the fair - part 1

[@Teaslippers]

As an adoptee, I've recently discovered that my birth dad worked on the waltzer for a number of years. It's great to see this as a glimpse into how he would of worked! 👍

[@weyayemanjoe3082]

AWESOME STUFF 👍🏻

[@SkidKid1965]

Great vid & good music 2 go wit it reminds me of the time i was last on the gaffs i was operating a skid :) :) :) GOOD TIMES :) :) :)

[@maestro66uk]

Great comment Rick Holmes. These people (traveling showmen) certainly aren't thick people. They have to run and maintain all this equipment, including the transport too! These guys have more money than most people who go to work 9 to 5 every day. I think that the people who slag these guys off are people who are jealous. I'd love to be able to buy my own machine and go out on the road with these chaps.

[@nhsven]

I sure miss doing the scooters. I ran them for farrow shows back in the day.

[@markhughes8314]

Very interesting. You know I met my first proper girlfriend at the fair, she worked on one of the stalls. Took me back to her caravan one night, it was very girlie, all pink and lots of cuddly toys, that sort of thing.Well after we did the "dirty deed" so to speak,and as it was my first time, I asked her how I did. She said alright and I could pick anything from the bottom row!!

[@maestro66uk]

Next time you see me, say hello. I won't bite.....honest! lol

[@maestro66uk]

You'll have to say hi to me next time Bethany!

[@MissNatalie13]

yep, as i said they're a strong and independant community. the people who say they steal and are dumb etc think that theyre all like that, when actually its the real gypsies that are good people. :)

[@yke90]

depends on wat company u want to work for

[@BROOKIEMAGIKZz]

no its 18 ive worked on fairs since i was 10

[@maestro66uk]

This is in Great Britain

[@joshw1996]

@ElkhartFootball28 freakouts r 1 of the easiest to build up with about 3 2 3 or 4 men who know wat they r doin it takes abut 3 hours

[@amershazad8786]

does anybody know how much money these fair owners make?

[@mrnewton86]

Do these 'travelling showmen' have a perminent residence somewhere in the UK, or do they spend their life on the road in a caravan, travelling from town to town?

[@1996harvey]

freak out takes 2 and a half hours

[@tooter493]

is this the rwland familay

[@1996harvey]

YEP and a and r wil;d mouce coaster takes 4 days to buld up ans 3 to pull down

[@MsLilc123]

it wasnt me saying that it was my brother on my account i dont know anything about the fair its non of my business

[@maestro66uk]

Or perhaps modern day life (TV, Games Consoles, Cinema, Bowling, Skating, Internet etc.) has now crippled the traveling funfair community. Ever considered that option???

[@diddyyomama2330]

well i mite b called dumb 4 dis but i always thought that the rides wer folded and needed 2 b unfolded

[@maestro66uk]

If people WERE educated, then they'd know the difference if they did some research instead of "assuming" !!

[@maestro66uk]

NOT Gypsies.....read the other comments!

[@sjtom57]

Decent vid but thumbs down for that lousy music.

[@booth2710]

I agree.

[@ClawMachineBoy123]

I dont think id trust rides put together by those people.... they just like slid everything together! haha

[@maestro66uk]

Well said. There are some really thick, uneducated people out there who need to do some research before shooting their mouths off!

[@Naamenrugnummerbekend]

Looks like 1950

[@maestro66uk]

Exactly my point! Uneducated!! If people WERE educated, then they'd know the difference between gypsies and showmen. Am I right? Yes I am. Thank you!

[@MissNatalie13]

so what if the gypsies own the rides? don't paint them all with one brush. i find the gypsy and traveller community strong and independant.

[@maestro66uk]

Well you're a bit thick then aren't you?

[@lindajanssen-schonbrodt6512]

[@yogihaughton7646]
