I thought it was better than the bouncy thing at ?2 for 5 minutes. What I noticed about the slide was that the guy running it when we there couldn't remember which child was which so kept on asking people for extra money. Maybe he was just looking after it for someone for 5 minutes.


The best 2 bits of the fayre for us were definitely the free ones (free bouncy castle on the way in and the fire engine).

I think it should be a requirement for next year that the bouncy castles are run by people who at least slightly like children and who aren't running a total rip off. For example the guy who runs the bouncy castles at Crystal Palace park is a really friendly chap - he even smiles at the children and their parents. I meant to say this to the organisers last year after one of the grumpy guys hired for the Goose Green Fair grabbed my daughter really roughly (she'd only just turned 3 at the time and was very shocked and upset).

Didn't make it this year and thought it was just me but was deterred by the thought of spending a fortune on overly short goes on bouncy castles etc by grumpy unfriendly people. Detracts from the fab friendly stall holders.


Whenever Southwark council do their free bouncy castle for tots that is usually fab, well run and v friendly.

CP Park man is really good with the kids and if they're too small to manage, he'll give you money back or tell the woman he works with to out them on the easier one. Was well impressed.


?2 for 5 minutes seems fair to me, but a quid for one go on the slide is a bit much.

Saw the man in charge of the slide having a row with a 10 year old boy who was asking if his friend could go back on as he'd tripped at the top and fallen down rather than slid down. The man just said "go away. NOW!". Think it could have been handled slightly better!!

agree with everyone else. ?2 for 5 minutes seems expensive. we were at cp park for the first time last week - our older one loved the bouncy slide thing - the bloke running it was really friendly and encouraging, when our younger one couldn't manage it he offered to switch her to the smaller bouncy castle. And it was half the price from what i can remember.

On the other hand they both really enjoyed the donkey ride at the fair, and the people helping out were really friendly.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
