Some people have more money than sence or need

but there was a few complaints about it i seem to remember, but they ran it decades ago without need to charge & now see it as a money maker without justification as of yet. Mind u the place was that loud u could hear & see it from the coppice anyway without the crowds hehe

Ironically they would make far more than £4 from me if they had free entry, but it was point of principal at the time and still is.

When did the carnival start? ... I don't remember it back in the horse-drawn days of my youth. Come to think of it the coal arrived by horse and cart, as did the milk from Ringstonhalgh farm, and the rag and bone man.
