    I was very pleased that their little back were broken! I think everyone had them but of course children still get them today although mine didn't have them thank goodness!

    We have plenty of cockroaches here in Sydney.
    Some of them look more like a workmans boot scurrying across the floor than an insect.
    They make a bloody mess when you squash em too.

    You just don't seem to see more than a few of the old type travelling fairs. Once upon a time they would turn up at the same sites regular as clockwork, could it be the work of the Stealth and Hafety dictators?

    More than likely grekko, the fairs were just lashed up in no time, they were great fun, I never heard of many accidents although I know that doesn't matter to the dicks that want to keep us safe.
