One day discussions might progress from it was 'better in the old days'

griping about the old days used to be better gathered round the hearth with the smell of burning alder and damp wattle and daub in your nostrils.

Agree El Pipe

EdCam - really?

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.

Ted Max you are not alone in finding DF's posts relentlessly depressing. He means no harm. He's just really tedious!

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.

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.
