    I have worked on the fairs all my life and some things are a lot different now yet others have stayed the same, a very interesting film of how things were back in the 1960's.

    My People...My Era. The organ music at the beginning is more powerful than ANY drug I have taken..it literally takes me back in time..my whole sense of being changes when I hear that... I become a Time Lord. We were an elite fraternity and all the tea in china could not buy you in...YOU WERE BORN INTO THIS. I was the last of my line to work the fairgrounds.
    Gypsies Tramps and Thieves
    We heard from the people of the town
    They called us Gypsies Tramps and Thieves
    But every night all the men would come around
    And lay their money down.

    they speak better enlgish than today's BBC Commentators. Standards have fallen dractically. People at the bottom of society had better manners and education than today's so-called celebrities and Instaram influencers.

    What was that women talking about, living in a caravan and not being at home in a house?
    All showmen have bricks and mortar homes for the off season???
