Talk:Travelling funfair

message: I've never heard of a fair being called an exhibition, and this wasn't cited so I removed it:
Canada has a long tradition of fairs, most take place in the summer months.  The term 'fair' is almost always referred to as 'exhibition'.  Virtually every Canadian city has an exhibition that is a combination of midway rides, games, shows, and local culture (such as agricultural exhibits, local talent, and arts & crafts).

message: In my opinion,  Funfair and  Traveling carnival should be seperate articles. While they are similar  in appearance, the origins and history are different enough to warrant seperate pages. Shinerunner (talk) 12:26, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Article merge

message: This article does not say anything about the origin of funfairs. Does it have links with Sinti (where it is shown in the 'See also' section)? Wiki-uk (talk) 15:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Origin?

message: I tagged this section due to the lack of references. While the claims may be true it's presented in an apocryphal manner. Shinerunner (talk) 11:14, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sidestalls and games section needs references 

message: There were previous discussions about merging funfair and traveling carnival and consensus at the time was that due to the differences in the origins between funfairs and traveling carnivals (or North American fairs) to keep the articles seperate as noted above. There is an article dealing with the North American fair. Rather than blend the information we might want to move the North American information to the other article and make sure it's linked.

message: This is a thorney toppic!  Newcastle, Nottingham and Hull all claim this title through various means.  On the last count of machines, I believe Hull is largest but I will be counting in the latest "World's Fair" newspaper.  Pica pica (talk) 00:20, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

message: There needs to be a complete article on Showmen travelers of the UK. Showmen are one of the older main types of travelers of the UK Having their own language and cultural ways. Some have become quite influential local families in certain areas such as along the south coast or the Isle of Sheppey.
Travelers families such as Ripley, Harris, Ball, Penfold & Arnold I believe such older family names and many have a strong history as good boxing families due to bare knuckle boxing being an important feature in old fairs. Men of the Showmen family would compete against the locals. Nowadays many older Showmen families have separated from the showmen lifestyle and ties and intermarried with travelers of other backgrounds and are often mistaken as having "Gypsy" (Romani) ancestry Tsigano (talk) 21:04, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually some Showmen families in the UK have Romani ancestry its not that common but its there the family of Ian Hancock who's grandmother married a member of an English West Country showman family.Uthican (talk) 14:53, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
