I`ve just found out that on 24th September..the same day as Z-Rock, in a town not far away from me they are holding...... An Onion Fair This was first held way back in the 13th century and was the counter-point of the Cabbage Fair held in Spring. There are going to be Medieval, Tudor and Victorian markets and minstrels and historic re-enactments.... OMG what do I do... ;D

an Onion Fair - it's enough to bring a tear to the eyes. Maybe you can send someone to the fair on your behalf to get some onions for you.

We're a strange lot in Cheshire, we like our weird festivals and fairs. Our village has a swan fair although to my knowledge, it has never been attended by a swan; the next village has a worm charming festival...and another has a fig pie festival....

If you have to climb up a water tower with a tin of paint to defend your sisters honour - you might just be a redneck.
If you're too drunk to fish, you could well be a redneck If you mow your lawn and find a car - you might just be a redneck
