Only three quid, to sit on a councillor's face.

Whoops.

Lap.

Lap, as in land.

Three quid.

Bargain.

Don't know why I mentioned face, in regards to councillors.

Unless it's something to do with some councillors having two of them.

Yo ho!

If anyone gets to know the rota, when our councillors are taking it in turn to dress up as Santa, please could you let us know.

I'll happily pay to sit on 'em all.

As far as i'm aware i believe it was Claire Pritchard's decision that the Santa's Grotto had to be placed in this location, the Market Superintendent i believe was happy for it to be accommodated elsewhere, as were other stallholders.

Otherwise they might just go in there to pull them off

I forgot, did they ever tell us, what their probing questioning revealed?

I wonder if any of Mary Portas's recommendations to the government will be taken up by HBC to help stimulate the situation in the Town Center?

Portas is keen to tap into Cameron's "big society" ideas and widespread public enthusiasm for street parties in celebration of the royal wedding in April. To that end she will propose an annual national market day to present "new-look" high streets at their finest.

She says: "On a market stall people can try out their ideas and get their business booming without too much cost. It's great for our town centres too, bringing in fresh ideas and products, and preserving our nation's cultural heritage."

If only people like Ms Portas could come up with the financing to back up their big ideas wouldn't the world be a wonderful place to live;)

My guess is that would initially run to about a grand, aprox. 1/10th of some dodgy Eye-Tye third-rate cook to put on a show.

A few months ago, I saw something similar at Spitalfields Market in London. It was during the October mini heat wave on an early Friday afternoon. The BBC was filming there for a programme by Nick Robinson, which was subsequently shown on t'telly. Some of you may have seen it.

Anyway, the place was packed to the rafters with the old dears not only dancing bur using a lot of grey spending power. It seems to me that Accy Market would be ideal and that it is something that Bury, Skipton and other like and competitive markets are not doing.
