The stall holders are not the kindly folk offering goods and wares just to make ED a lovely villagey place to be and skip in fields of flowers. They're profit making businesses and thats all. Do they want to come out in wet and windy weather when they think they won't make as much cash as usual? Of course not. Thats why the road closures etc is a joke when if they don't 'need' the money/won't make as much cash as usual they don't turn up.

It would be the Council decision to close the market on H&S grounds, but they did not make it. The road was closed as usual and there were a couple of stalls there. Only about profit. The food vans don't blow away yet they were missing.

The American van and the hog roast were there when I went past plus the cake and vege food stall (they were really struggling with wind). I think most traders took the right decision. I'm sure they're sorry not to have risked their livelihood so Ron70 et al could have their fresh pasta/cheese/salami/olives/pies/trinkets for one w/e

There really are some tw?ts in ED. Its not about money - its about common sense. Besides, how many of you would set up a stall at a loss anyway. You lot are not really a bunch of charitable folk from what I can ascertain.


If you read the paper and watched the news, you would notice the bad conditions are keeping trade down across the country. People are staying at home for good reason.


Hardly the weather to trade in outdoor stalls.

Has your bubble been burst, that the over priced food/tat sellers are only doing it to make a killing rather than for the good of ED kind? Mug.

What are you talking about? At what point did I say that I wanted traders to risk their lives because I was missing out on food and trinkets? What a ridiculous thing to say. Congratulations, you have just wound me up more in one post than anyone else has managed since I first looked at this forum. What I actually said was - "Just been down North Cross Road, where did the Sat market go? :-("

I am still wound up by the post from EDmummy!

- to clarify, all that happened here was that a simple question was asked; why was the market not there this Sat? It seems likely that it was due to the bad weather - KidKruger stated this in the first response (thanks). However, it's been pretty empty for some time. Again, the reason for this was given as "the time of year" by Twirly (another thankyou). I didn't know the reason behind the scarcity of stalls, that's why I asked!


Why you (EDmummy) felt the need to insinuate that I was asking because of some deep seated desire for pasta is beyond ridiculous... Read the original post before posting unfounded and irrational accusations in future you irritating weasel!

    • 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
