Is the Fair going to be on the Lawn this year. I saw all the fairground trucks making their way to the Warren on Saturday.

Yes the owner is all what you say and have no idea why he is that way.  I do not go there anymore the quality has gone down, in fact the last time i went there the piece of fish was just batter. You can walk in there and stand there nobody says anything. The problem is when you think you are the only game ...
