All this talk about photos is also rubbish, i'm sure he once was an enthusiast for the business and took pictures himself.
Sorry to sound rude, I have been reading these posts so long and it has just wound me up!
Come back to the real world Strongbow, Im sure your mean no harm just being who you are and not something else.
The trouble with learning from experience is that the test comes first and the lesson afterwards.
wow I wonder which forum you came from
seeing as you just joined this one today
just to correct you slightly I dont run a pub I am a director of a pub company that runs pubs and I am very much hands on
I would like to know what im pretending to be as I dont pretend to be anything exept a risk taker and hard worker in the entertainement trade
I expect anything I buy to make money not sit there and look pretty
I worked from April till Sept last year at Dreamland trying to earn a few quid with 3 machines unfortunately the costs of maintainance and the lack of trade and the weather put paid to those aspirations
and in those circumstances you have to sit back take stock and downsize accordingly
that is why now I only open with juvenille equiptment and games as I lost most of my money last year and I refuse to give up
If I had money to throw around I would have been able to afford the restoration of my wheel which is still at rundles in storage awaiting me to save enough for its repairs and move to a kent restorer ready to open this christmas
of course im not a showman I attend small rallies etc locally although my great grandparents were members of the van dwellers association so there is something in my blood
I was last open last sunday at the festival of transport in swale and have only a few events to attend over the next month
with regard to copyright this is a modern thing that many have jumped on the bandwaggon with......In the 50s 60s this was unheard of look at any old photographs you will rarely see copyright notices on them
nowadays people seem not to want others to share so stick a copyright on everything
Actually I never took photographs as I could not afford a camera in my youth im 50 years old and in 1957 money was tight and you couldnt just buy anything on a credit card you had to save to buy things cash actually I lie I had a kodak instamatic for christmas one year but couldnt afford the film or developing on my pocket money
feel free to call in anytime for a chat or give me a ring and we can talk rubbish together dont hide behind your keyboard
constructive criticism is good
