Anyone know how to set up a food stand for the Saturday market?

[jhhbrook]

I assume you'd need a license and register through the council, but does anyone know the details of this process? Would be really helpful we want to eat and provide exquisite cuisine.

[Seabag]

Have you ever traded your 'exquisite cuisine' anywhere else before ?

[jhhbrook]

At an Oxford ball, it was a ball.

Does the name of your new venture have an ampersand in the middle ?

Could call it Seabag, and sell fish from the sea ... in a bag ;)

Really, just shoot me in the scrotum

I'm good with that

If you have to ask this on a public internet forum I doubt you are qualified in terms of hygiene to provide any food! Hang on though, you did say Northcross Rd 'market'? Ask Foxy. .

Grok is right. Please make sure you abide by all the necessary regulations in order to qualify as being a ?market? stall - according to DulwichFox - our local market inspector.

- the only goods that can be sold are apples, potatoes, bananas, items made from polyester (clothing, luggage), sweets sold by the scoop that look like well-known sweets but don?t taste the same.

- Goods for sale and prices of said goods should be declared to passers-by in an unintelligible fashion at top volume - like a donkey which has just had a stick shoved up it?s ringpiece.

- wear your leather money pouch at all times and be sure to smoke one roll-up (no cigarettes please) every five minutes, especially if you?re handling food.

- gentlemen should be addressed as ?mate?, ladies as ?darlin??

- all communication should be in French, like they do in France - The Spiritual Home Of Markets

Follow these rules and you can?t go far wrong. ?It?s what the people want?

How is being able to use the internet related to hygiene? But thanks for letting us know what you get up to when your internet is working ...

[red devil]

Have you not heard of computer bugs and viruses Crackers?

Make sure you wash your hands after you've been online...

[DulwichFox]

Good see Star-Bob-Star back.. have missed you ridiculous comments..

I haven't been posting myself here recently and was talking about this to someone else

who was inquiring why The Forum was so quiet.

I replied 'They don't have anyone to have a go at..' as Louisa was also not posting.

But then I put 2-3 posts up and the Forum has bust into life.. You could not make it up..

Talk about neigbourhood watch...

Awaiting comments about Egoism, Narcissism, and all the other -isms

P.S.

By the way by definition...

Egoism does not uplift oneself above others. It is venal but not at the expense of others.

Egoism can be considered a virtue. It can be a vivid or a normative view.

Hope that helps..

Take no notice of *bob*'s comments.. They are purely personal.

He thinks he thinks he is funny but Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

There are IMHO some hygiene issues but it seems to be overlooked by some.

I'm not the Market Inspector. I use common sense. People here will bad mouth certain well established

mainly Asian outlets but wont have a word said about the market. One has to draw ones own conclusions

on why that may be..

I once asked about how to get a stall and was told 'There's a long waiting list..' and harder if you are

going to be selling similar goods to those already available..

There are many food outlets already but cannot see that being a problem.

Good luck with your new venture..

So what you're saying is that the forum is quiet because 'you' haven't been posting? And it bursts into life (literally - bursts!) when 'you' start?

Well done, 'you'! (aka me, me, me)

[Louisa]

DF it seems the minute you or I burst back into life, the forum starts to react. It's like a chemical reaction.

I gave posting a break too as I felt A few folk were over indulging in goading, the greedy swines (yes that includes you *Bob*). So now they've had a bit of a crash diet, no doubt these couple of posts will give you something to feed on. I'm still banned from the main section, I think this forum reaps what it sows. Ban informative members and end up up with no forum at all. As you were.

Louisa.

[*Bob*]

hurrah! Laurel AND Hardy!

[DulwichFox]

*bob*

I just put the post back on track.. with my reply to jhhbrook the O.P.

And you derail it again...

DF.

I'd be adjusting your 'should i be responding to the OP seriously'-filter if I were you.

[Seabag]

Oh oh oh, where did I put my Fox poking stick?

And remind me Lou, do I need to adjust my Goad-O-Meter? upwards or downwards

Missed you btw

[red devil]

Bursts into life?

No, for me, Pinky & Perky's posts are much, much more than that...

 

[Louisa]

Missed you too Seabag. Like a caged lion that's not been fed in a while, I do hope you enjoyed chomping on that feast of a post I just fed you! I think the Goading stick needs its battery recharging my love!

And red devil could you not pick a better actress? I like to see myself as a slightly more matured Jodie Foster of sorts, and I picture foxy as more of a Donald Sutherland (Hunger Games incarnation) kind of chap. Nice try though.

Louisa.

But there's no need to picture him - Fox puts real pictures of himself up on here. I've printed one out and stuck it on the bog door.

[red devil]

I did that too *Bob*, but it's not enough.

To show my appreciation I've decided to have his photo transferred onto icing to adorn my EDF anniversary cake, 8 years in a month's time. I just wouldn't have made it this far without him...

[*Bob*]

I've printed the face out life-size and made it into a mask - which my other half and I can take turns wearing when we want to spice things up in the bedroom.
