@t-tony asked me the other day how it was.

This was going on down my street, its called "lance the ring" the lady passenger has to try and get rings hanging from posts as they ride by, this is right outside my front door.


And the next day sulky horse racing on the main street.

One for @miller1098, street race around the town.

That's ace having all that going on your door step :p
Looks great fun ;)
 
Morning @Shelly, I am getting to old for it to be honest, its on for a whole week and the town is packed out on the Thursday with the sulky racing and you get home covered in and stinking of beer, as the bars are so packed out and people spill it on you.
 
Morning @hard top :p
Yes I suppose once your see it the novelty would wear off :)
We have a cliff top gala every year ( it was last weekend) :)
But we're never been it gets too packed and never no where to park :)
So we always give it a miss ;)
 
A bit like Lincoln Christmas Market it's been held for many years now and really on my door step but I have never been to it.

I'm told that it was Mike, it is now more like a Dark night car boot sale. Too commercialised and has lost the original Christmas feel.

Far too many people for my liking Mike, how much longer does it go on mate?

When I was younger I thought it was great, can't stand it now.
Only went with my mate Rob as he likes, as he should, to show his face at his customers bars.
Eight at night he gets a call from a bar that they are running out of booze and he had all ready been on the pish from midday at a Rotary club lunch as he had closed his biz at that time, so was not open in the afternoon.

We had to deliver on foot with barrels of beer on porters trolley's through the crowds.
I had had enough by now and after that I told him I was going home.

Finishes tomorrow.

He's lucky to have a mate like you bud. Peace returns soon.
