LOL so true, however in North Cross Road, I have to battle over 20 baby prams and pregnant woman everywhere.

The message clearly is to 'shop around'. Yes there's a market in EDF that caters to or takes advantage of (depending on how you look at it) ED's yuppy/ yummy mummy/ middle class residents. But there are plenty of other shops near enough that cater to other demographic groups.


What I would say though is that the middle classes do forget sometimes that ED is not just for them, that there is a diverse community across the area and that local shops, events, services etc should reflect that.


Businesses on the other hand, are there to make money and so naturally will target those likely to pay most for what they offer. But it is annoying when something like the Cafe in Rye Park is too expensive for the majority of people who use the park to go to.


I quite like Northcross Road market being there, but shop elsewhere because prefer better value when spending money. But do also like the diversity of ED and it's residents.

'It Ain't What You Do It's The Way That You Do It', I can't hear the flat mooing voices of all concerned without being pierced to my very soul.

Every perfectly judged guitar solo in a WHAM song makes me writhe in torment, while pluckily acknowledging that I lost out to a better man.

And the solo LP 'Son Of Albert', and no I didn't have to look it up. A unique. So it was.


But Jody Watley was the most amiable of taxi companions, I'd recommend her to anyone who's taken a knacker kicking.

I like the market.


The fudge is delicious, the cakes are delicious and the food at the stall which sells things like fishcakes and salads is delicious.


Those French salami things are really nice as well.


I couldn't afford to buy things like this all the time, but I really like having them there as an occasional Saturday treat.

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
