Mr Bear Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Let's see how many of you remember this ugly thing and where some of them were located. It was a common fibreglass decoration in the entertainment industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one of these clown faces on sale at a stall in a Glasgow market a few years ago and now wish I'd bought it. It's as ugly as hell, but it's very symbolic of that era. These things were found at most big arcades and amusement parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can recall their adverts in the trade press for the fibreglass plaques and larger items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the slur on the workers there ? Lots of them were local ( unlike you ) and hard working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
