You can see the different coloured lights a mile off, luminous yellows, greenspi8nks, reds and blue. When you get into the grounds, it takes you five minuets to read the words they’re spelling out, that is if you don’t go to fairs often, I could tell you what each ride is just at a glance.
When you get off the Waltzers or the Holly-Wood, you want something to eat, and you discover it’s “ONE POUND FIFTY FOR A PORTION OF CHIPS?”. They are all scabby and bruised, but compared to the intestine which was supposed to be a sausage, you decide to be the victim to daylight robbery. The you get your choice of teeth rotting treats, candy floss or toffee apples, I always go for toffee apples it lasts longer because it takes you half the night to bite through the toffee.
You decide to brave a “scazza”, after a portion of scabby and a half eaten toffee apple, because the other half is lying half eaten in the bottom of a waste bin, as you admitted defeat. You decide to go on the “Face Flattener”. If you went with a boyfriend the chances are they wouldn’t be happy until they went on this ride, so you agree, and so it begins. RUUUUSSSHHH, SLAM your head’s jammed under one of the three safety belts, ZOOOOOOM SMACK, your heads out but you cant see because the cold air is making your eyes water, making all the lights blurred. ZOOOOM your face is whipped by the freezing cold air, your cheeks red from the wind SLAM, you see the fear in your boyfriend’s face, ZOOOOOOM here we go again, you see now, you are 50 feet up in the air, hurtling down at the speed of light. SLAM your hearts racing, stomach turning, but your loving every second of it. ZOOOOOOOOM again, shooting up at a gazillion miles per hour, the adrenalin rush makes you want to SCREEEEAAAAAAM out your lungs as your boyfriend has been doing most of the ride. SLAM, hoisted in mid air you see for miles around it lasts for a second but it seems like a life time you see all the tiny dots in the fair and you see how wide and vast the world is and that your only a small part of it, awesome. ZOOOOM back down but this time slower as the ride is coming to and end, just as you’re getting into it. You laugh partly form relief partly from the look on your boyfriend’s face, unforgettable. Now he is toughening up he claims he “wasn’t scared” but you let him be the hero this once. You stand and your legs are jelly, you cant walk even if someone gave you a million pounds to do so, to your amazement your boyfriend can walk ad he holds you up. You now regret the scabby chips and you begin to taste the toffee apple in your mouth again you run for a bin but – ooops, too late.
You go on the big wheel after you hide the embarrassment of puking in front of your boyfriend, he soon gets over it and you buy more mints. On the wheel you see the crowds in the grounds growing thin and you get a cuddle, you still hear the laughing of men who have had one too many but this is the time when you see people in a different light, and this makes me think that the world isn’t such a bad place, you see everyone at one point can have a good time and not be bitter and evil always.
