    Might'nt be around otherwise I would have been there,takes anywhere from 15-30 minutes to get to Lambton park,good day out.



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    I remember seeing a jeepney at Milton Keynes (Campbell Park), maybe 3 years ago.
    Arrived on a trailer.
    What an attraction it was, so much interest.
    Could be some summer wonga to be made

    Last year it seemed to be the eastern europen tricycle riders everywhere for one of the discount phone companies.

    Start saving now if you wanna eat there and rember to feed the pinays in the groups before going

    Dont forget to spend sometime at the fun fair never will you see so many well behaved chav dressed kids in all your life

    Even the ones with their pitbull/s in tow will be respectful while their trousers hang round there backsides

    Also you muct have Ice cream from the couple shown inTawi's photo
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    I have been to this fiesta so many times.
    Last year I actually dropped of my car full of attendees and went to Milton Keynes
    then went back and picked them up.
    Not really my thing these days.
    But, if other members will go, and I know the day, I will be there wearing a Filipino UK badge.
    If you see someone wearing such a badge please say the magic word so I know it's you.

    The guy who ran the nepa hut and stalls and exhibited the jeepney was Frank Trotter from Ashford. He's moved out to the Philippines now but still returns to the UK on business a couple of times a year. Sadly the jeepney fell into decline and was in need of total restoration last time I saw it. I will find out from him if it is available to anybody who might be interested.
