We don't really mind, as it's not often they use the village facilities properly, and there's a place where kids and their mums and dads can go and drive dodgem cars at each other, or whiz round on plastic carriages for a spell....
As some wag mentioned to me today, the noise of the motley fairground attractions are just the local council's retribution for the residents' complaints and indignation about the way they wanted/still want, to build a new people's palace for not very much, just over the road, at £2m a pop!
Memories will abound - Scrobs is on the case...!
Lovely Jubbilee...
It was our local Head of State's birthday yesterday. Nobody noticed, apart from the two minutes when the entire air force (comprising 3 ancient MIGs) did a couple of fly-bys and disturbed the tranquillity for two minutes.

Sorry, I can't generate any enthusiasm for a complete waste of scarce (or so we are constantly told) resources. Likewise for the Oh Limpix.
(If you want to clear everybody away, just take a bucket or two of your famous Scrob's ponkystuff eleixir and scatter it on the greensward?)
Oh, its all go here Reevers!
ReplyDeleteBless her, the Queen's day is getting a bit of a pasting with the weather an' that, but I'd rather our soldiers were here on parade, rather than fighting someone else's war.
Weather's a bit thick today, which is a pity!
The Orilympics will be a different display of town hall toads I suspect...
