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.
