Beat me to it...every comic usually has a one liner or catchphrase that goes down in history...that will be hers.

Too late.....they can chuck money at 'em as much as they like It won't work....the days of the little man have long gone. All small traders can do is nibble at the edges of the mega profits made by the big boys.

That comment was allegedly made by Pete Murray...
Before the Meadows were built on, the Southern approach to the town was considered one of the most attractive in the country...

Well...a few years on and I'm long retired.The markets have continued to decline.Some traders hanging on by the skin of their teeth. I don't particularly rate most of the veg mens stuff on markets.But the supermarkets of course get the pick of the crop....and the best prices,the little man can't compete.
The pound and cheapo shops in particular have taken all the bargain lines that were the bread and butter of the markets...the stock just isn't there to buy any more.
My local market at Sutton in Ashfield is now a car park...but they have moved some stalls into the center of Sutton surrounded by banks,estate agents and Wilkos which in fact is a busier place for them.
Remember that heavy snow a few years back...I retired a month before...best move I've ever made

Often wondered what £1 shops would have done if we had joined the Euro....
-
They had sugar at £1 when everyone else was 59p....even cheaper now. You gotta watch 'em!

Trust you
'Cos I've tasted the stuff...it's what they use in cheapo imports...that's why some sweets use the abbreviation 'Choc' because it's never seen a chocolate bean and they can't call it chocolate.
-
.....just bought an Aero...first time for years.God knows what they've done to them. It aint my taste buds...it's crap chocolate.
Looks and tastes like those Doggy choc drops.

That moment when a child who has been told that sucking her thumb will make her fat turns to a pregnant woman on the bus and says...."I know what you've been doing!"

Is it ever going to stop raining? We've had a few hot periods but not for long. The wilder parts of my garden are like a jungle...It just hasn't been dry enough to strim back. I've got thistles four foot high for heavens sake.
The only good thing is I've only had to water my hanging baskets a couple of times this year. -
Callard and Bowsers toffee was in every cinema on the planet...nowadays the most popular toffee prepack is Walkers.

I'm a corner plot on a T junction...not only wrong number...wrong street!

Knock on the door...two engineers in sign written vans to do a complete safety check on gas and electric...I told them I had not been informed (British Gas??)
Anyway let them in and told them to get on with it.The electrician had the boxes off the wall in minutes and his mate passed me a form to fill in...
"Er!...this says number 24 on here!...this is number one!"
Wrong house...the electrician has just finished putting everything back.
Thank Gawd they weren't with the drug squad kicking doors in!

I think Phil Jupitus should be off the list...he's the only one out of that lot with any talent. A fine stand up comedian in his own right.
-
So nobody's noticed that every other ad is about their coming demise?....all carefully scripted so the word death is never mentioned. Bring back the Hamlet ads...at least I could smile at them.
-
...and a flower garden with a 'luvved one' in it....sunny day of course!
Now where do I sign up for my cardboard coffin?......
Amazing how they've all crawled out of the woodwork lately aint it....Even the supermarkets are in on it. That grey haired Yorkshire millionaire certainly started something with his corny ad...it must have been his free pen that clinched it!
A few years back it was 'Sell us your old gold'....then it was Vorderman and Co trying to get us all up to our necks in debt borrowing left right and center....then the PPI lark....I wonder what will be the next racket they'll all latch on to?

You needed a skinful to tackle some of the old boots I finished up with.

Who dreamed that one up?...I've met plenty of grotty Nottingham women after a night on the pop...no different here to anywhere else.

Still alive but struggling....not good.
It should be on its feet not lying down.I'm afraid its not going to make it.
It would probably flap off the ledge if anyone tried to rescue it.

Hey carni...let's hope I'm wrong and the young 'un has just got a sprain.....though I doubt it.
