I was going to say it is probably Cuckoo Fair but you edited your post juat as I was thinking of commenting [/i]

There are lot of stories linking cuckoos to rural fairs apparently - (I'm just reading them from my book ) and in many parts of the country there were Cuckoo Days - I could type it all out but it covers the best part of 4 pages +
