23 August 2016 20:17317041I think that the grocers stall is the only one that makes a reasonable living out of it.One of the longest standing ones attending i would reckon. - 6 September 2016 14:57317578Two traders there today that I don't remember seeing before.

6 September 2016 15:48317582the fabric stall in#8 has been here before howard.howard mcsweeney1 likes this - 5 October 2016 17:11318617The chap with the plant stall has been off sick for a few weeks, back today but another stall over by the museum sells plants and various odds and ends. Cyclamen plants are £. 3. 25 against the original plant stall still selling them for £.1. 50.
- 22 November 2016 14:30320884Went down to see if there were any interesting buys for Christmas.
Not one Stall apart from the dear old Fruit and Veg.
Town Team? - 22 November 2016 14:55320886Anyone trying to put a stall up in Market Square today would have had a death wish, the fruit and veg stalls are in a fairly sheltered spot.

Why don't you join the town team instead of sniping all day?
YOU are the problem. - 22 November 2016 19:22320891D Little wrote:Why don't you join the town team instead of sniping all day?

Maybe it was just a question instead of a snipe?Guest 1292, Reginald Barrington and Brian Dixon like this - 22 November 2016 21:08320895YOU are the problem.....#15
No - actually as I observe it, I am not a problem. I live within the Town of Dover, thus I am a Townsfolk.
I have good money in my purse. Today, I went to a Market which was non-existent, many other people were there with equally good money to spend.
My friends in Canterbury and Folkestone follow the same procedure, money in their purses to spend on and within their local Market. Which offers good stalls, and a secure knowledge to their clientele that they will be open, whatever.
No not Dover, we do not know if the Market will be there, and it is a terrible way to offer any service.
Mr de Little, you left Dover to run a Pub...anyone who offers any opinion on this forum, you pop up like Lucifer to shove down an opinion or comment.
I feel, with concern, that you are showing menopausal tendencies, should seek professional help.
Maybe, take a break and observe yourself and your dislike of your fellow human beings. Perhaps, stop shooting from the hip all the time, and learn to love the people of Dover, and their opinions.Reginald Barrington likes this - 22 November 2016 21:36320897Dear Christine much as I understand the points you have made Canterbury and Folkestone have a much higher spending power than Dover. I hasten to add that posting in a way that will attract the forum pit bull is not constructive.

christine, whoever you are, why don't you get off your arse and actually do something?
I ran the market for 2 years, we averaged over 20 stalls, sometimes reaching 30.
So you live in the town, no wonder its so derelict if grizzled old women like you spend their time moaning while never actually contributing. This forum is full of idiots hiding behind pseudonyms that do far more harm than good.
You are a coward and a spiteful piece of work. - 22 November 2016 21:45320899#18...I see what you mean.
The old Pitbull has a problem.
I do take offence to being described a "Grizzled old? women" to try and do a bit of shopping in a local market, that is non-existent.
