May Fayre crooks rip off the poor


Went to the May Fayre
at Eltham Well Hall yesterday. A few of my Folkmob friends were performing, so I brought Lucien with me. What could be a great local event is spoilt by money grabbing scumbags who were out to make a quick buck at our expense. The first one I encountered was charging £2 a go on some crap bouncy castle. the woman in front of me handed £8 to this bloke and her 4 little kids went on this piece of rubbish for what must have been 30 seconds before they got fed up and jumped off. I paid him £2 thinking that this would be for a long go on the piece of inflated plastic. "5 minutes only" said the scum. Give me my money back you thieving bag of crap! said I, and count yourself lucky that my grandson is with me, or I would have punched you on your criminal type hooter!
Then I was charged £1,50 for a crappy little doughnut - you know those little ones with icing sugar on that cost about 20p in Sainsbury! Then £2 for a little bottle of fruit Shoot, these are 8 for £2 in Sainsbury

FAMILY FUN day - yes lots of fun for the crooked bastards raking in the money! But not much fun for a young family struggling on income support I'm sure!
Yes this is our wonderful Greenwich socialist Council that allow these criminals to exploit the poor and the sad thing is that nobody complains!

The other S&G

haven't had the energy to put stuff up on here recently. Too many late nights and early mornings. I went to a nice acoustic session last sunday at the Star & Garter in Deptford. This is organised by Jim & Isobel of BRUISE fame. Lots of old friends there. Ken, Shilela, Yael. Jim, Pete t'Hat and loads more. I'm npot sure if it is onece a fortmight or twice a month, but I think that they have enough people as the bar is small and all the seats were taken. Only £2.50 for fosters not bad!
