It came to me the other day.

Whilst whittling a Merkel doll troll, to go atop this year's festive tree.

I knew I'd get it in somewhere.

Its easy to understand why, as others said the heart has gone, the stalls have gone, the building is a good un n various councils have destroyed it, simple. daft as it sounds,the flea market on Thursday does more trade, not that cheaper rents have owt to do wi it. i have always prefered to shop in town,still do,but nowhere near as much as i used, think yeh probably bin away to long to appreciate whats happened,to what once was a damn good town centre.

Too late.

I was on my last legs years ago.

I scoot about on a little trolly now, given to me by an old woman under George V bridge in Glasgow, just before she slithered down into the icy waters.

Re: Christmas Shopping Fireworks

I didnt catch this earlier, So to answer the exact reason why this post was created, The Fireworks are paired with the Xmas Lights switch on to make it a family event, Yeah i do understand that fireworks do cause distress to animals and they are loud however unfortunatley we are not in an Alton Towers enviroment so we have to use the space we have provided, I am sure that if we didnt have the fireworks display the comments would be WHY WAS THERE NO FIREWORKS, The fireworks are paid by the council and are only set off on the Arndale Roof.

Hope this clears up the confusion, As for next years event i have been asked to run the event next year due to its success, Any positive ideas i am open to hear them.

Re: Christmas Shopping Fireworks

Disabled and Elderly we are looking for next year is a definate, Market Traders were asked to stay open but opted not to, so this is down to the individual traders however good feedback appreciated

That wasn't widely known. Someone posted they thought the firework display was paid for by the Arndale.

What did the whole event cost this year?

Just so people understand what might, or might not be possible, if they are going to make submissions of what they'd like to see happen next year.

Ideas will need to be realistic, so it's imperative to know what funds are available, if people are going to make reasonable suggestions.
