Bad Denfra. You bad, bad person, you.


I’m with you on this one.

P1971 and others along Dartmouth Road appear to have a bit of a competition problem. I suppose one way to fight the competition is to reduce their effectiveness.

I’m wondering if all the Bird in Hand customers are up there, too, on a Saturday enjoying the delights of the market?

If someone were to open a stall with a few well priced kegs flowing, then I’ll pop along to that bit as well. (Mine’s a Carlsberg, if anyone’s asking? But it has to be cheaper than £2.15 as that is The Capitol’s price. And you won’t get me shifting my drinking regime to the top of the hill for anything less!)

There is a unfortunate irony in this thread.

Back in September, P1971’s post #4 above had her helping her neighbour Lee, the organiser of the Horniman Farmers’ Market, find someone to take on the fish/seafood stall. Now, this very market that P1971 was helping with has had it bite into her P&L. (That’s an irony, isn’t it? As a foreigner I’m useless at detecting them as a general rule.)

Oh, star’s post just above is as brilliant as this new brilliant Horniman Farmers’ Market. Thank you also for that thoughtful post, star.

(I hope that P1971 is enjoying her 2 day spa break. That appears to be what is most needed right now. I also hope that when she returns that a new fresh perspective emerges. I’m feeling into starting my own business and P1971’s posts on Sunday evening and Monday morning are a salient reminder of the downside of this very thing that I’m looking at. Best of luck, P1971.)
