Always remember going to the fairground in South Shields as a kid around may bank holiday in the mid 70's (usually with the contents of a copper jar saved for a whole year by my uncle) and the memory that stands out were the rides being painted with really bold pictures of the like of Bowie (Aladdin Sane style), Elton John and Stevie Wonder etc. Not been back there for years but I'm expecting they'd have been replaced many times over and would probably have something like Britney/Kylie/Girls Aloud/50 Cent on now.
