Sean Wilson cost £2,500 to promote his own business for a day and Kenny Baker was a slightly more reasonable £350, although he might have been a bigger draw on Saturday morning when peple are actually off work and can find time to come see him.

Welcome to the real world, Leader of the Council.

Of course not.

Anyway, after checking, although Fanny comes cheap, her and Johnnie are no longer available.

They could have Cheryl Baker for thirty five quid.

Ripped her skirt off everything, and handed out cheese straws.

You are a card.

If Fanny was here she'd be weeping.

Johnnie, would be there to wipe away those tears of joy.

It seems that a reappraisal is in order.

Cllr Haworth was quoted today as having spoken to 12 traders in the Market Hall, all of whom were in favour of Wednesday trading as they had seen their takings double from what they took on Mondays.

If that's true then it seems I must eat my words but for some reason I remain skeptical.

Won't make much difference Cashy.

If the powers that be manage to convince themselves that Wednesday trading works then it will be the toughest turd in the world for the stallholders that disagree.

well aware of that ken, but it will either make me hold me hand up, or more likely give me some ammo.

Yes, ask her for names, as none I've spoken to are in favour, and say it isn't worth their while opening.

Get her to ask one of the Market Hall's busiest stalls, Len's, and see what they say, or any of the butchers, or the biscuit man.

Perhaps her twelve are all from upstairs.
