NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Son and his partner were on the Atmos-Fear (see page 1) yesterday when it broke down. The lifting floor would not err.......lift for them to get off. When they eventually got the riders of it was closed ready to be stripped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I once 'stood' on Ilson fair. It was a stall that sold lucky numbers - lucky that is if you picked the right one. I'd do owt in those days to earn a bob or two to keep the motorbike on the road, and pay for my half a mild down at the Horseshoes. Stood on Ilson market on Saturdays selling nylons anorl.

Chulla 4,946 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Oh, I don't know, Jill. I used to run my hands down the sheer 15 denier and seamless micromesh. Problem was there were no legs inside them. lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of my favourite memories about Goose Fair were the mushy peas - I tried to make them but failed every time anyone know a good recipe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Lidl's mushy peas are fantastic, but I doubt you've got on in Oz. Get googling and see what is offered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,234 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Last time I went to the fair, about five years ago, couldn't help but notice a lot of the pea stalls had stacks of catering size tins of Batchelors peas under the shelves, and piles of empty opened tins in dustbins. Bit of a cheat really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,878 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 I know someone that sells mushy peas on the fair, he makes a LOT of money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 The Goose Fair mushy peas I remember were cooked in a wide pan on a wood fired brazier type of thing - a 10 (?) gallon oil drum with holes punched in the sides. Plenty of opportunity for smoke and bits of ash to get into the peas and which most likely added to the characteristic flavour. Note: they were nothing without the mint sauce. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
