Everyone leaving the Arndale by the entrance near Boots takes one look at the shambles ahead of them and heads away from the shops.Nice one HBC! Let's not forget the "continental market" outside our own Market Hall where you can bag yourself a "bargain" loaf for only....£3!!!!
The only things breath-taking about this are the petrol fumes from the generators and the smell of S**t hitting fans when traders realise how much this has cost them!
Oh,and by the way,the fair is open till 10pm at nights so we can all sleep safely in our beds awaiting the alarm callouts! Grrrrr

At least you have a better view than we do Lindsay - we get the back of a burger van. We are thinking of going and sticking some posters on it to brighten up the view a little bit. Shame we can't do anything about the sickening smell of fried onions.
