I hope everyone is having a good day
The rain has been on and off here all day, but it's been consistently cold. I picked up some cake from Our Cake Man on my way through the market, and then, as Gravel was there, went and got us coffee. Tool Man and Boring Ray stuck to tea, as they don't drink coffee, and by the the time I returned with the drinks, they were already tucking into a pork pie. I cut the cake, with Big Rose, and me and Gravel had a piece. Gravel stayed for an hour or so, but was complaining about the cold. Harry Hot Balls passed by, and a couple of the other reprobates who call in occasionally. Nobber Al was AWOL for the 5th week in a row, and suspicion is that he has jacked in his stall. Golden Gordon and Robert The Badge are now back though. Gordon walked up to ask me to identify a couple of knives he had, and after I went back to his stall, and asked about a compass he had, he kindly gave it to me, so that'll do for Wolfie's youngest. Just before lunchtime, Big Dave and Slimline Scott turned up within a few minutes of each other. Having been there for about 3 hours, I decided to get some lunch, and had a curry on my way home. Ray had a couple of decent sales before I left, but after 4 hour's trading, Tool Man had only taken £2, which didn't seem to particularly concern him, having got used to the way things are on the market now (and now receiving both his Council pension, (as a former employee), and State pension, (as an old git!))
I think I might be able to squeeze in a nap

I remember going into a pub in 1994, and seeing all the coloured bottles, and thinking 'What a $&!£hole!" 
I never tasted 20/20, or any of the later 'alcopops', as they're known here, but I do remember Thunderbird
