There is a lovley little antiques market on a sunday where we live, real antiques mixed with flea market, great atmosphere, but it is held in an old nursery greenhouse where plants used to be grown and so the lanes of stalls are very close together, with things hanging up, things on the floor in boxes, things on trestle tables.
You get the idea, not an ultramodern marketplace is what i am trying to say.
And so to todays sucky customers there.
people with a young boisterous puppy jumping everywhere and getting under peoples legs and jumping into the tables "hey watch out for that antique plate" "This one, that's now in pieces?"
couple with a huge baby buggy wider than the aisles "if i just shove this table sideways that's got the china on it we can get through"
people walking with canes.Very slowly.In the middle of the aisle.Three abreast.And stopping every few seconds to discuss what is for dinner while a queue of people build up behind them
small child touching everything in sight with mother chasing him and screaming at him to stop touching.
Do they have no common sense at all?
