A hate that on waltzers when hardly any gaff lads spinning cars just tires out the one or to staff that are spinning the cars we had ten cars two men for each car don't get anymore wages for nocking your pan in but the paybox is making money while you are pushing cars and person in paybox is shouting here we go pip oi make some noise or over mic spin number such car I did it 30 odd years machine slow when not busy but soon as gets busy on gaff day put prices up and we the workers left with wait a minute was 1.50 now 2.50 but we did not get extra wages hate seeing a good machine with mabay two men nocking the cunt out all day and night for a pitence in wages not saying all trailers do it but if I as a worker don't open your mouth will stay the same was a manager new every nut and bolt how to repair girder wheel s when ball race was gubbed or wiring needed fixed. But money was utter shite at end of day we had 3 machines old grass cutter twist smallest big wheel and waltzer so when everyone else was finished packed up ready for next ground we were still working for peanuts not saying all travelers bare same but noticing having mabay one.mabay two guy spinning btem cars that's them lifting five cars each and if it's a cut price night like in Scotland kills you don't know howany argument's had with my boss was old tram starter I used to put vaseline on the bras buttons file them down so if we had a full run would not pull away on one button just started to pull away on second button then on third button never made any difference machine was going that slow was killing me that spinned the cars granted was old machine with center wheels of old gun turrets from world war tow bar was reinforced and was solid but we went to gaff days years ago when night time came was mobbed then would be changed price tickets from £1.50 to £2.50 had people arguing with me as boss would shout five or six in a car when I put my section money in said four for two cars started cracking up I would just tell him straight the people bin the car first did not want strangers in beside them I got sacked loads of times for opening my mouth but he always got me back because on pull down nights when he was in the pub having is few whiskey s we were out in pissing rain pulling down should always treat your staff with a decent wage pull down all night couple hours kip if lucky then build it all up again next day only to be paid peanuts part of reason I chucked it not paid my worth drivingncar trailer back to ground to follow second load just saying times have changed can't get locals bto build up waltzer or dodgems for peanuts,
Sorry for few spelling mistakes I meant Travelers as in show people not the workers gaff lad chairs or whatever we got called but without decent team of workers showmen would struggle ATS why nearly all machines are on artic trailers might get few extra men build up pull down but not all wanting to pay four five men when can get two men or even one man to see pin cars on a waltzer did it for years on many a waltzer any good boss treats or should treat there men good because at the end of the day if they all just said fuck it had enough getting treated like a clown or a spare part for machine got train men up to do underneath waltzers speedways not so much speedways because of health and safety which has killed the atmosphere on these machines
