The once, until relatively recently, busy and successful markets in Accy, are on their uppers because of the intervention of clowns, who wouldn't know their arse from their pound of tripe.
Restoration fine.
Constantly arsing about with something that wasn't broken...madness.
Sadly for those who still bother going, we see the depressing evidence of this, on each visit.

Missed several posts while blabbing -The demise of the market in recent times really gets to me, even as an infrequent user. It has been made so beautiful aesthetically and yet they have taken the heart out of it. I think the main issue is the ruin of the outside market .Whoever gave the word to pull down the old outside market -this person should be lynched.
The variety of fruit and veg stalls, eggs, cheese, materials and cloths, patterns for dress-making plus the rest...the sweet stall , the old fish market - I would bring 'em back in the flutter of an eyelid...along with the benches along Broadway and the flowers but then i'm a romantic...
