Actually this week it is more about items that were seen
rather than heard.
Whose Friends Are
These? – a couple of confused traders have asked about reports of vandalism
to our market, destroying our heritage, and a collection of bad customer
reviews. Turns out they come from a leaflet being distributed on behalf of
Friends of Queen Victoria Market. We are not sure who they are friends of. They
obviously are not friends of City Council and it has been suggested that their
negative propaganda is harmful to the market itself. Until we know what is planned
for the renewal it is difficult for anyone to make judgements.
If you are looking for some real customer reviews head over
to Trip
Advisor. They seem to love our market.
Car Boot Sale – A
number of traders have expressed concern at this Sunday’s poor showing at the
Car Boot Sale. Maybe the bad weather overnight deterred participants? Not everybody
is as tough as us traders. But seriously, it would appear that even a humble car boot sale is not
immune from the retail recession.
Strange Appearances
1. – It is presumed that this little patch was the result of some soil
testing. Apparently a few of them appeared in the upper area of A,B and C sheds
this week. We can only speculate on the reason for testing.
Strange Appearance 2.
– This Go-Pro type multi direction camera appeared in J Shed this week. A 360
degree video camera or a new age Dalek?
