Yep. Even last year here in Essex, the Great British Circus was camped in it's usual twice-yearly place, which generated a lot of controversy. I found this report from IndyMedia from when they were camped at Newark.

The signs say everything. And I had to laugh at this comment so I'll post it here.

Small print In the middle of the green poster, in case anyone missed it:
"DO NOT REMOVE - Sickness and poverty will strike anyone who does not heed this warning. Gypsy Rose Boswell"
Better hope you put that poster up right the first time, eh?
"Nope, it's not straight, I'll have to take it down and just give it a quick... ARGHHH shit, my legs have fallen off and my house has burned down!"
You know you're winning when they get gypsies to threaten you with curses, via the well-known psychic medium of crap posters stuck to bits of cardboard! Supernatural intimidation tactics? Wooooo-oooo! Fucking awesome, bring it on! (I'll have my tin-foil hat ready and waiting!)
So tigers eh... generally inhabit a fairly large outdoor expanse. Am I to assume that the "Great" British Circus have a portable Serengeti on tour with them - perhaps on the back of a very, very large trailer - to provide the animals with a large expanse of wilderness to roam about in?
Or could it be that the "Great" British Circus are full of shit, and just luuuuurve exploiting animals for profit?
Because I've got ten bits of lucky heather that say that far from being David Attenborough types, they're actually just a bunch of sadistic bastards with pretend gypsy mates and considerably lacking typography design skills.
(FIVE, yes FIVE different fonts on ONE poster? Get to fuck!?!?! That could be a new world record...)
