Sorry to hear last night you're not feeling too well Mike.
I go to the WI market in the Parish Hall and that seems pretty British. But the cheeses and bread they had at the last French market were pretty damn good. I can still remember when food from abroad was a rare luxury and its fantastic (if you ignore the air miles) the selection we can buy now. But I agree British food does tend to get unjustly ignored on cooking programmes and local suppliers need promotion too - one thing that Cooper's did well.

French market is on a saturday, when I am not at work.
WI market is on a Friday, when I am at work, like many, many people.
Its a no brainer as to why shops make the most amount of money on a Saturday.

I love the French market, it give the children a chance to taste different things, we usually go to the one in Trow, but being here in Westbury can only be a good thing.

again how about an English market for a change I'm assuming it's because no English or British people want to run one. If a group of French want to set up and run a market good luck to them. I enjoy sampling foods from other countries and welcome the French market. I also enjoy fresh British produce and would use a British food market. |

There are dangers in everything one does. But the greatest danger is doing nothing.

Lots of people there (though perhaps not as many as last time?) but lots of people remarked how expensive it was.

The French markets are always a little expensive, but it is nice to taste new and different things, and also practice your French  |

It was expensive but we did buy a few things.
I think, and I have said this at Town Council meetings, that we should also ensure local markets have the chance to be present. Last Saturday reinforced this for me.

I Had a good look around and it wasnt a bit expensive it was totally extortiante in some of the prices , just like the Italian market before.
I am sure they would sell alot more tp people if they lowered their prices into realistic prices for people whilst still making a profit, I would still like to see in future local producers involved in these events and will be bringing this up when it next arises at the town council
