Yes indeed Simon. Fun of a rather naughty type, plus the Wall of Death, the boxing, a haunted house with an up-skirt compressed air jet, bikini-clad girls up-close with "rats" (coypu) or snakes and a couple of strip shows that attracted huge queues.
Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
The current disputes are nothing to do with the circuit fairground.
Le Mans and other large towns are trying to kill off the location of seasonal fairs in town centres and relocate them to sites on the periphery. Understandably, the showmen aren't so keen.
