Or......you could go live in the country

Mrs. DrinkingBuddy and I were only commenting today on how great the market is and we're pleasantly surprised by the rare musical performance. I personally wish they would extend the road closure up to Fellbrigg now as the extension of the market is (at least to us) a huge success, even with the Parkin problems it brings to those of us living near by.

I bought a cake there on Saturday to take to a celebration.


It was ?7 and way way nicer than anything I could have bought in a supermarket. Lemon and poppy seed, yummy icing, and nicely presented in a box.


I thought it was a bargain.

Hi All

I have nothing against Northcross Rd market. I do like to have a potter down there from time to time and have bought the odd thing or two but I thought that markets were supposed to be cheaper given that the overheads are less and the savings are passed on to the customer.

I used to love East St market because it was good value and you could have a haggle, not sure if Northcross is good value and I wouldn't want to barter down on any prices.

Northcross Road market isn't about bargains, it's about artisan produce, good quality vintage, antiques and street food (very ED) - if you want 'cheap' markets then get thee to Rye Lane where fruit, veg, meat, seafood and clothes are extremely well priced.

Well they saw you coming didn't they

Any attempt at comparison is futile, NC market is NOT trying to compete with Rye Lane and Brixton etc !


It's like slagging off the NC market popcorn stall because it costs more than Co-Op's popcorn, non-sensical, NOT trying to be a Co-Op is it !?


Rye Lane 'market' doesn't sell antiques, art work, fudge, gourmet hotdogs, home-made quality pies, 2nd hand books, vintage clothes, bike repairs.


Pointless, ill-conceived comparison IMO.

Is it me or is North Cross road market shrinking / less busy these days? Sad to see, as some fab stalls - the food (all of it!), popcorn, new arts & crafts stall for kids, clothing...


Need the market to get bigger and have more visitors, hopefully it is just a slow patch, would be good to see it as popular as it has been to date!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
