I'm surprised it isn't free. One of their selling points is that there are 900 or so trade stalls. I don't suppose those are cheap and I'm sure they get a decent whack from the fair operator and other concessions. It's a bit like paying £14+ to go shopping in Newbury on a carnival day. No wonder they can afford to build their huge and pointless shed http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/News/Article.aspx?articleID=17764 even though it will only be used a few times a year. On a slightly broader point, I can understand tory farmers and landowners soaking the poor (they get £3bn in taxpayer handouts a year, for example) they always have and no one seems to notice or care very much. I can also understand them carving up the countryside and building huge and pointless sheds, tacky houses, wind turbines and waste incinerators all over it, as they will when the coalition's planning legislation is passed. They own the countryside after all, so that's fair enough. What I can't understand, if you'll pardon the metaphor, is why the useless libdems are not only sharing a bed with these awful people but also allowing Bullingham Dave, George and their mates to screw them rotten in every available orifice.

They didn't offer a family ticket this year either.
