For goodness sake don't ever take your little chum dahn to south London's very busy Tooting Indoor Market.
Thriving it may be, as was Accrington's until fairly recently, but it'll make him think Accrington's grand Victorian Market Hall is positively space age in comparisson.
Your dear friend might have a queer turn.
