After promising Scarlett yesterday we could go on the dragon ride at the fair, we gleefully went this morning after our Maccy d's breakfast (and after I had spent an hour shopping for new sunglasses as I had left mine at home. Why is sunglass shopping so difficult?!)
So we went on the ride which is like a baby rollacoaster and after the first time we went round it went round again with Scarlett crying she didn't like it, I said not to worry as it will stop in a second. 3 laps of the rollacoaster later we finally came to a stop.
Then she said
'I don't like the dragon ride.....can we go on it again?!'
At £5.00 for the both of us.....no.
Why are rides so expensive these days? When I was a kid I swear I went to the funfair with a tenna and still came back with change.
What's it going to be like in ten years time? Parents will be having to give their kids £50 pocket money for a night at the fair and a burger. If they are really lucky maybe some candy floss, after enquiring about how much a pathetic looking bag cost today £2.50!!!!) probably not.
I told the woman I didn't have enough change, I really didn't but the guy next to me looked at me like 'ah playing that trick are you?!'
Bet he wished he had when he was handed back tuppence from his £20 note for a hot dog and a couple of dummy sweets and a bit candyfloss. Mind you he did have 2 kids, thank god I've only got one!
