I wish to make a complaint.
Now, this is not like me being the jovial soul that I am but as you touched on it the other day Mr Hawkins I feel the plight of us market traders needs to be highlighted.
‘Wear your old band t-shirt to work day’. Whose bright idea was it to have it in the middle of November?
It’s alright for all of you office wallah’s who work in nice heated environments where you can swan around all day in your short-sleeved fine cotton band merchandise but please spare a thought for the rest of us.
The poor souls who get up at five in the morning and travel to work in rusty transits with broken heaters and then spend the day outside in the freezing cold with our band t-shirts safely buried beneath a tuckerman coat and a fleece. And I make this complaint not just on behalf of market traders but also for scaffolders, builders, farmers and cowboys.
We want to play too but we’re being barred from the club.
Come on Steve, move it to June so that we can all join in.
Up the workers.
That’s this weeks’ report from Pete the Market Trader. The man on the street. Literally.
