Markets.

[Whitestar]

Does Bolton still have a Market? Or is that something else that's gone the distance?.

Used to love a mooch round there, i remember a few years ago selecting a handful of different interesting fancy looking chillies for a veg stall, took em to the girl and was expecting her to say £5-£6ish,   26p love was the answer.

Was a great chippy on that little street at the side where all the skips were, 2-3 ice cream vans. Pot stall, Benny's jeans, loads of fruit n veg, bedding plants, butchers.

Must still be going surely?.

It's still going but it's moved next to the old Moor Lane bus station

Aye and the bloke who buys something weird to get himself in the BEN every few weeks is still going too.

I usually go on a couple of times a  month for my eggs, chicken and bacon….its a real eye opener. It’s like the Star Wars bar on steroids.

Plenty of wolf fleeces on show at these gaffs.

Treacle Market in Macclesfield which is on the last Sunday of every month is a cracker.

It's part of a longer term plan, you just wait until 2028, then the yanks will be rolling in cash

We go every few months mid Saturday afternoon when they are knocking out bargains to clear the stalls. It’s like Mogadishu. I stand back laughing whilst the nasty loud mouth midget Mrs sticks her elbows out and burrows to the front snatching the deals. How she’s never been twatted I’ll never know

Does Pete Beale have a stall there?

[Whitestar]

Always thought Albion Market could have lasted longer than it did, some decent characters, guess the world wasn't ready.

True, but I wouldn't trade places with anyone in that business.

No but Martin Platt does.

Martin Platt once signed my crumbly Lancashire in a wetherspoons beer garden in Bishop Auckland.

He nearly made me spill my pint in Bolton market a few years back with his bloody cheese.

I've tasted cheeses with all sorts of mad ingredients in them, but blood is a new one. Any good?

Him from Blur was doing Cheese made from his missus' tit milk once upon a time. Wonder if that made a good Welsh rarebit?
