markets are awesome, I had a saturday/sunday job for 2 years when i was 16--18 helping out on a market stall. Up at 5am, we went to brigg/hemswell cliff etc all the main market hot-spots in the east midlands. The hardest part of the day was always the setting up/closing down process, it can take over an hour to set up the stall properly, and it was always so annoying getting all the shit out of the vans in meticulous fashion so that it all aligned correctly on the market "front".
It wasnt an indoor market either, so all conditions were braved at one time or another!

it was a real bob-and-job stall, had a fair bit of everything, most of it was nuts/bolts/screwdriver sets and other such home improvement-orientated products, with a few "high-end products" like electric screwdrivers/drills into the mix. At one stage we even had camping gear like gas lights/chairs/tents as part of it! lol
Hemswell was always my fav place to go, its the biggest market I've ever been to and I suspect it will always be that way, there must have been 40 lines of different traders there on a sunday, you could spend 3 hours looking at things you wanted to buy and then another 3 hours trying to remember what you wanted to buy in the first place! It even had a massive section of mechanical goods for cars etc, which if i recall, is very unheard of for market places.

I would much appreciate it if someone could find the lyrics to a song called "Stalybridge Market" or the words to the poem "Eawr Market Neet" upon which it was based.

Somewhere I've got some old photos of the London markets, Billingsgate, Portobello. I'll dig them out, & post them up.

Another African bird for you to identify...........
The story behind this one is that we were driving through relatively long grass, this was disturbing all the insects and causing them to fly up the side of the vehicle in the air. For a good 20 mins 4 or 5 or these birds spotted an opportunity for an easy meal and to catch a lot of insects quickly, so they were flying right next to us, I kid you not I could have reached out and touched them at any point, they were so close. I took about 100 pics of these birds in flight while driving along at probably 20 mph, only about 3 or 4 of them are any good, but its not very often a crap photographer like me gets to take a close up of a bird in flight so that's how it happened. I wish I had my current camera when I took this as it could have been amazing.
