Wasn't the old Charlotte Street Market in the centre of Pompey was it? ..long gone now, but sounds spookily similarJill the stationcat wrote:Many years ago I stayed close to a town which had a Saturday 'market'. It was a standing joke* that if you asked 'certain stall holders' if they had xyz for sale the answer was along the lines of 'come back next weekend and I'll get it for you....and they evidently usually did (*it is alleged, as I never tested it )Terrier wrote:Not all, but most items would have been shoplifted or stolen, hate to be cynical on this, but in the fellowships i move in, names such as 'Hash-Converters' and 'Crack-Converter's tend to do the rounds whenever anyone talks about how they used to fund their expensive habits. However, it's down to them to buy stuff off people responsibly, so if it's in the window, or behind the bullet-proof glass, then it's fair play i suppose. But yeah, if your house/shed/garage/club room ever gets done over, and hopefully you have proof of ownership of your stuff, make a bee-line for Hash-Converters... cause the chances are, that's what the thieving tykes have done or plan to do, mark my words.
