Well, i (and quite a few other people) think that it would make it very difficult, going on my basic understanding of the economic realities of running a food shop. It wouldn't be a risk i'd want to take if i were trying to set up a small 'going concern' here now, and i do know a little bit about these things.... I'd really, really love to be proved wrong however, so i hope your optimism wins out, Tenbybelle. The fish stall was there in the second or third week (?) but hasn't been back since. Hence my comment querying the sustainability of the farmers market and guarantee of consistency of stalls/fresh produce etc. The fresh organic fruit and veg is nice though, and useful at the moment to fill a few gaps as i grow most of my own...
