Anyone remember the Flea Circus? Remember always thinking what the fuck is that about?

Yeh i do. The Flea master had a little circus ring on a table. He trained to fleas to pull minature carriages and to walk on a tightrope---things like that. Mind you ,you came out itching.

You can't train fleas. They glue them to the carriages.

My uncle managed to blag or buy one of the little electric dodgems and we used to raz about his garden for years on it (it actually went about 1.5 mph)

Bloody Hell! I paid half a crown to see fleas being abused.
