Yippee, Zippos is in town but I have not seen any of the flyers for discount tickets around the area. I'm wandering what the cheapest way to get tickets is.

Looking at the website children are ?11 and adults ?14 if going for the front view so for 2 adults and 2 children that is quite alot plus the online booking fee. So I'm wandering if anyone has seen the flyers they usually have around and what the prices advertised on those are please. If anyone can let me know that would be great.

Thanks, liz

Ah the annual pilgrimage to Zippos - love it and v excited for taking our brood apart from Norman and his budgies with the inevitable line 'these birds make the money, these birds' (pointing to the assistants) 'spend the money'. Never mind the animal rights activists who like to protest each year we need some sister power to get this joke out of his routine ...

If anyone's still looking the cafe on the Rye had some vouchers .... well hidden just the far side of the till where they keep water jug etc. That was a couple of days ago though. On vouchers restricted view tickets for example with the voucher - ?5 for kids and ?7 for adults. Possibly similar prices to online costs but you can use them at the ticket office and avoid online booking fees.

KikiMac - We hit the 3pm Sunday show and yes the bird joke was missing - hooray. However, it was left to the otherwise fantastic clown to introduce some 1970s inappropriate humour during the dads' section making signs that one dad was homosexual as he sat behind another, rather than at the side of him, and continued his hugely not funny gestures for the next few mins - doh! Other than that was fantastic and a full to busting house added to a great atmosphere.

Oh it was great but I agree about the clown bit with his gestures. My other half got picked at the 12 o clock show yesterday to go down and participate in that act.

I like Norman's ending comment each year: 'You're never too young, or too old, or too cool to enjoy Zippo's Circus'. I think he should also add 'or too posh' ;-)


Mrs TP did you know that Norman was on This Is Your Life in the 1990s? There is a link to it from his Wikipedia page. Yes, I do need to get out much more.

    • Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.
    • Does anybody know why? Trees aren't cut down for no reason. There must have been something wrong with it (I hope that was the reason). A child was recently killed and another one injured when a tree fell in a park (not in this area). It isn't always obvious from the outside when a tree is diseased or whatever, and I imagine the council would give safety considerations priority when deciding what to do, if there was any doubt at all.
    • It looks like they have cut it down completely now 😭
    • Different people will be  involved within Thames Water. The people dealing with the leaks aren't the people encouraging less water usage. How many people have reported the Barry Road leak? By what channels? What response have they had? When we had a leak in our road which meant we had no water, several people reported it, there was good communication with TW, they explained why they couldn't come out immediately (other urgent jobs elsewhere in the area) , kept  in touch with us and fixed the leak within a reasonable timescale (hours). Someone from TW also contacted me later to make sure my water was back. But does Thames Water know about it? They aren't psychic (I presume). If nobody reports it, I also presume they won't even know the leaks are  there, unless they have some kind of central monitoring system which tells them when there are leaks in the system. To make it clear, I am not defending Thames Water as a company, which I think should never have been privatised.  But there are some things they can't be blamed for (old and disintegrating water pipe system in London) and some they can (possibly, lack of sufficient staff to deal with leaks, maybe due to trying to save money to give their shareholders more. But this is just surmise on my part - I know nothing about Thames Water).
