@flo - many thanks Have just phoned the tel no for the Weds market. The person I spoke with confirmed that the Wedneday market is now cancelled permanently. Not enough take up to make it financially viable apparently. Thursday boot fair still running (different organisers) but subject, as always. to weather conditions.
Anyone know if this is permanently ended? I went along to it this Weds. There were very, very, few market stall holders in fact they were easily out numbered by the car boot sellers. I put the lack of open market sellers down to the bad weather. However, Thursday/Friday this week I got told that the signs advertising the open market that were placed in the field where it gets (got?) held ...
I have absolutely no idea Burneside who reads/posts on this site and where they may quite literally, physically, be based. And neither do you.

Take this constituency. Unless you are a Tory voter your vote is too all intents wasted. How on earth is that democratic?
and then I saw the exit poll result and my jaw dropped even further. And then the results started to come in ..............

"The term Nasty Party is a term used to refer to the Conservative Party of the United Kingdom .

Just got back from the polling station. My jaw almost dropped to the floor. Saw some young people, looked like 18/19 year olds with polling cards in their hands, on the way to the station. Keep it up!
We do have this nonsense in this country whereby the broadcasting media cannot utter a word about the General Election (except to keep reminding us that it is happening) until after the polls close at 10.00pm. The press however, have no such constraints. Why is that? Every election, and without fail, highly polemic newspaper editions appear on polling day. Mind you, I do wonder what ...
