LOL! That's quite a breakfast Bob!Ok Jack, I had breakfast, ready for some tales.View attachment 2329142
The calamity of the market must have a soothing presence on your soul Jack.It was pretty cold this morning, as I headed down to the market, and I was wearing my beloved tweed cap for the first time since early Spring. Tool Man was enthused by his annual trip to Blackpool, and assured me it was the best 'Ted Do' ever, even if his favourite event, the Teddy's Boy's Pub Crawl, has now been whittled down to one pub (probably to save the wear on Zimmer frames and electric scooters). I am having a minor clear-out at Grumble Towers, and I had a new pair of black chinos for him, which I'd bought some time ago, 2 sizes too large. He seemed just as pleased when I recounted the tales of what I'd told folks about his absence from the market last week, as when I told him how the Guardians reckoned he could take on all-comers in a Spam-eating contest!Having already had 2 fried eggs on toast for breakfast, and 2 ham sandwiches upon his arrival at the market, he was already tucking into a fat sandwich from the tea stall

While Tool Man scoffed, I went to see Golden Gordon, as I had a couple of large coffee-table books for his stall, and then Nobber Al, who I had some paperbacks for. I then went to get coffee, and bought some cake, which Tool Man and I shared with Boring Ray
![]()
As we were eating our cake, Musical Andy came over, and with his usual bad timing, asked if I would look after his stall, while he went, with Tool Man, to the Rent Office. The market was still looking pretty empty...
![]()
When Andy returned, he asked if I would give Nobber Al a pile of old sheet music, which he thought might go on his stall. Hard to believe that Norman Wisdom was once a successful English comedian, particularly with song titles like 'Don't Laugh At me'!

Wolfie, who is boxing again tomorrow, came down to the market to have a coffee with me, and I bought a large portion of mixed bhajis on the way back to the stall, most of which Tool Man ate, along with six pieces of flapjack. Old Brian came to see us, and his missus left him to have a cup of tea, while she went to do her shopping (guess where those shoes are from!).

The parents of Special Needs Scott also passed by, for the first time in ages. The gargantuan street-cleaner has managed to lose quite a bit of weight in recent months, by reigning in his greed levels, which may even have previously exceeded Tool Man's. He is still a large and plump 240 pounds, but his mother worries he may be "taking it too far", and could end up anorexic!
Among the few other visitors were a group of old Sheffield Rockabilly fans, (the scruffy version of Teds), on their way to a festival in Italy, via Leeds Market. I tried teaching them some rudimentary Italian phrases, which I told them I had learned in a cafe on Chapeltown Road![]()
