I haven't been up NXrd mkt in a couple of weeks or so - mainly because of the absence of Guy Sparkes' van - but I like the little Italian stall when it's there, and the Blackbird bread & cakes, and a couple of other foody ones - okay so it's more a deli-come-foodcourt-come-secondhandstuff kind of market but it's a pretty dull end of the street the rest of the week.

Every post you have a POP at Foxy. this one ..

the Olivia Colman post to name just 2 in the last couple of days.

And you have the nerve to call me tedious.


You seem to spend so much of your time searching every thread for Foxy posts.

Is your life really that boring that you have nothing positive to say yourself.

Or even something negative. Do you have your own opinion on anything...other than Foxy.


Foxy is out on the Lane every night..Instead of hiding behind your PC perhaps you should pop

along and introduce yourself.

I'll second that re tallulah's tedium.

Do you know what I find really tedious?


The anti-Foxy brigade continually slagging him off at every opportunity.


Although Foxy sometimes get things wrong & is sometimes miserable, I have to say that in my opinion he is probably the most genuine and helpful person on this forum.


Pity that everyone else chooses to concentrate on the negativity rather than the positive.

what aquarius moon said


more generally, fwiw, we get a lot of the stuff we need from the NXRd market - cheese, bread, cake, pasta, meat (if Mr Sparks is there), dogfood and salad from the stall for Saturday lunch. It's all excellent quality stuff and at a decent price.

We've got a load of stuff from the plant stall, in the right season, and from the furniture stall as well. The book stall run by Rye books is great. This Christmas, we preferred to spend our money locally and got a lot of our presents from the market - all of them were much appreciated by non-ED folk.

And even if we were into over-priced cupcakes, we could get them from NXRd market. So, we don't think it's bad at all.

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
