Who was Fred Carbo, and why was his circus any different to any other?
Happy 2021 to all.
Cheers.
Charlie.

Fred Karno had a brother Mic Karno who invented a model construction system.

Mic Karno sets were on every young man's Xmas list.

Karl Marx had a sister called Onya. She invented the starting pistol.

Hi Charlie, it was a railway mans term at Plymouth Laira Depot for anything that was a complete shambles and should read " it is like Fred Carno's Circus". Don't ask me who Fred Carno was as I don't know. |The comment was usually addressed to the singularly inept traincrew management that existed at Laira between 1979 to 1986.

I've was lead to believe that Fred Carno's army was infact set up as a circus that went to America from England, Mr.Carno took with him Charlie Chaplin and Stan Lorral. I may be wrong and stand to be corrected, but thats what I was lead to believe.
