Stuart Moir… Then along came the PC brigade and complained that they were mal nourished badly treated and didn’t want to do what was asked but if that was the case the donkey would have been able to object by stopping and we all know how hard it would have been to make it move

Colin Fox… I think they also said that they had to get insurance in case anyone got hurt.

Dizz Corinne Ryder… I used to spend my pocket money on them and the trampolines!

Tony Court-holmes… did not like

Wendy Weaver… I remember where they used to stand – my dog used to make straight for that area to roll in the poo and then we’d have to take him straight home for a bath

Pete Houghton… It’s was a shame it stopped the were treated with respect as someone said if they did not want to move they would not and they walked on sand

Nicola Barfield… Omg bring my childhood back from when we came from Germany to here to see nanny donkeys shops etc on pier the old bathing pool distant memories such a shame bring fun revenue to the town in a positive way

Jack Irving… Poor donkeys.

Kev Carleonis… Pure cruelty

Coco Pops… The Chimps were bad enough I never saw the poor Donkeys.

Dot Mountford… If you wish to leave or write posts online please know the correct facts before you do so, In the first instance they were ponies not donkey’s easy to tell apart as donkey’s have big ears and it was early 1970s not 1980s, I know that as I was there it’s is me in the photo leading the pony…..

Jim Breeds… But its ears are not visible!! While we’re at it – donkeys (plural) do not have an apostrophe!

Paul Marshall… I remember monkeys
