Suffragette1 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 It's a park, not a funfair. It has nothing to do with being a killjoy. The kids already enjoy plenty of rides at funfairs proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can see, there is nothing but peoples opinions on the thread, which unfortunately for you, they are perfectly entitled to. Whilst it doesn't make much difference to me personally as I don't have kids but I am too old to be going on the rides, I remember even when I was little my Dad would only let me go on the rides once in a blue moon because he thought they were expensive. Also, you say that the owner of the funfair works hard - I don't think anybody is doubting this. It must be hard work manning the rides come rain or shine, in the rain and the cold and good for him for still wanting to do it. I don't think there is any need to get yourself worked up over this! Pops on Mod hat for a moment - please can you also try not to use text speak on here as well (e.g. "ppl") as some Forum members will find it hard to understand what you are saying.

OOmpa Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I for one am relieved. Parks should be for kids to kick a ball around, mess about in the stream or play in the playground. Instead of which, whenever I take mine down to Endcliffe Park we have an argument about me not letting them go on that rip off bouncy castle. It's bad enough with the temptation of the ice cream van, but an outing to the park should not involve having to either remonstrate with the kiddies or part with cash. It doesn't mean the end of the rides though as someone will win the tender (maybe pullins) so there will still be a fair in Endcliffe park. I'm not saying its good or bad just pointing it out really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
