Pinner Fair: high rides, large toys, rotating tea cup rides

 Wednesday in Pinner, the annual fair. But we didn't intend to go there. We didn't even realise it was on. If  we had known we would have thought we could not go because we spent all day in central London.  We had missed the fair for many years, many times. A train journey diversion sent us home via Pinner. We walked out of the station. Saw the road was blocked by funfair rides, so no buses. We had to walk through the Pinner Fair to the other end to catch a bus. Never mind. 

 We enjoyed seeing it. This is what we saw.

Fun food. Chocolate strawberries.

British favourite chocolate. Cadbury's. Totally different flavour to American Hershey's which to the British tastes stonger, more bitte and wax. Hershey's was designed not to melt in the heat when carried as an energy and mood boost by soldiers. Cadbury's was always the king of chocolate, suspposedly containing calcium filled milk when markets sold cheaper chocolate used by confectioners, and like Hershey's, using a substitute for milk which would not melt in the heat. A flood of memories from childhoos, and holidays in the USA when somebody stole the chocolate from the back window of the car. Then we realised it had melted in the heat.

High rides.

Huge soft toys to win.

Tea cup rides for tiny drinkers.

We wondered how they transported such huge rides through the motorways and narrow streets.

One big transporter was a hint.

I was also puzzled by the lack of any visible toilets or signs to toilets, or to bus stops and taxi ranks.
