turpsThe fireworks display was amazing. Such beautiful colours streaking against the night sky. It was lovely seeing all the people looking skywards, the collective gasps at the loudest explosions and falling glittering sparkles.
Shame it was all spoiled at the fair.
It was a situation I hate. It was so crowded you could only crawl along, squishing past people, getting elbows in your side. Then, and this is still making me fume, Corey finally got on his first ride. £3 for a ride lasting less than a minute, but he'd got money from his nanna, and wanted to go on. So, he gets in the car, only for the guy who checks the belts to grab him by the arm and haul him out, shouting no single riders. I swear, if I'd have been closer I would have slapped him. No one touches my kid like that. No one. As if it was it was so packed I couldn't get close, so James just pushed his way through people and went and raised hell at the control booth.
We left soon after that, and took Corey to the local Blockbusters where he spent his money on a playstation game. I'm still incredibly pissed off though.
