      That's because the British pound is not as strong as it once was so prices will keep going up as everything is the worst is on the us dollar and Euro

    I can't stand the owner and area manager. They walk around the cameras like their the top dog, untouchable. But all their jobs are to make sure the shelves are full of cheap condiments. Watching these episodes their customer skills are terrible. The pair of them. Soon as a customer comes in the cameras view they go into a very awkward robot like they have no idea their talking to their customers. Like ffs, they would sack their own staff if they treated customers like that

    Councils always have been a complete waste of space.... no sympathy for them. "Obstructing the pavement" So are the other 20+ market stall traders but hey they're paying a "fee" for a license to the local council, so I guess as always, "money talks".... dirty little scum council.

    Don't get me wrong you can get a few things from these sort of shops, some food stuff mostly, but really most of it is absolute tat and awful quality. I understand not everyone can afford to buy stuff that is dearer, but if you buy cheap you buy twice.
