It was a way for us to collect a few coins picture money? <br />Dr Whackem, my step-dad, was a well known florist up the market then, he would raffle any flowers he had over on the Sunday, in the local pub. I wonder if the Crown still exists.<br /><br />I moved on in the 50s and now live in Holland, the land of the tulips and windmills.<br />Bill BaileyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13690737.post-6978762752845539362009-05-09T19:31:00.000+01:002009-05-09T19:31:00.000+01:00I'd love to hear what you bought today - what look...I'd love to hear what you bought today - what looked good? - what were the best bargains?<br /><br />KateKate Hedgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990742270029066955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13690737.post-84233904010892370312009-05-09T19:25:00.000+01:002009-05-09T19:25:00.000+01:00Just back from North End Rd with my bag of bargain...Just back from North End Rd with my bag of bargains & find your great blog as well!Stephanie Ziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009923261529219522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13690737.post-81680670183553450122009-03-19T14:32:00.000+00:002009-03-19T14:32:00.000+00:00Great to hear from more fans of North End, especia...Great to hear from more fans of North End, especially one who travels all the way from Wimbledon and yes, North End is hard to beat.Kate Hedgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990742270029066955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13690737.post-84518911026450522192009-03-17T21:25:00.000+00:002009-03-17T21:25:00.000+00:00This market is the cat's whiskers!

I have a perfectly ok one near me in Tooting and one on my doorstep at Wimbledon Dog Track but they lack something and I will happily do a half hour cycle or a combination of 44 and 28 buses to get my fix of fruit and veg and unique street action. I'm not sure if its the unpredictability, the mix of characters, the chaotic claustrophobia of it all... but it really is hard to beat!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195768072860297931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13690737.post-17984677095175954652009-03-17T09:40:00.000+00:002009-03-17T09:40:00.000+00:00And thank you for this wonderful comment.

Without it, I doubt I would have stayed this long in London - Saturdays here are just too pleasurable to give up. I think you've really captured what the market is all about. <BR/>Thanks again & perhaps see you in the queue!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
