Someone seems not happy....

That is a wonderful example of misrepresentation.
My wife and I went down there yesterday afternoon and it was very busy, with all but just a couple of stalls open.

Shall I take a photograph at the Sainsbury roundabout at 06:00 and use it to tell all that there is no traffic problem?

You must be easily pleased that's all I can say, personally I think it is abysmal & an embarrassment to the town.

[JeffG]

Where is it?

(I am rarely in town.)

[The Hatter]

It's by the big church by the bridge. Went there Saturday afternoon, quite nice really. My GF thought it was pretty good too and a bit different. You could walk through the church as well where they even had some singers doing carols.

Who said I was pleased? I was responding to the OP.

Try reading my comment again and stop making stupid assumptions.

Ah thanks. I can see that the photo is West Mills now. I was in Lloyd's Bank yesterday, but didn't notice what was round the corner

Bit tucked away - I would have thought the Market Place would have been a better location for it.

Wow! Fancy that, in a church, at Christmas. Whatever next?

A very clever and funny answer. You must be so proud.

[Turin Machine]

Yup!!

A fellow member of staff strolled into town at lunch time and come back with the comment that she did not want to purchase a shower head or a knife sharpener........especially from a Xmas chalet. A lot of the chalets were not open and she thought it was a complete waste of time!

I have to say, as far as I'm concerned it's in a far better place this year. The park is left as it should be - a green lung. OK there aren't too many stalls and they are mainly selling food, but isn't tgat the whole point. Surely no one buys Christmas presents from a wooden shed, no matter where it's located. The Newbury one is a little small this year, but it's OK.

And perhaps you could refrain from making nasty reply's.

I think x2lls is easily pleased with many things.

If he/she thinks the wooden sheds look busy then perhaps its due to the very narrow passage down West Mills (how or who agreed the access has certainly not done a full risk assessment).

How the **** could you get an emergency vehicle down there?.

This is certainly NOT a Christmas Market (another balls up by the BID)

[On the edge]

Amazing isn't it. 'Elf and sayftie' regarded in the same way as political correctness....'till we don't like something, then it's trotted out as the reason!

[spartacus]

(how or who agreed the access has certainly not done a full risk assessment).

.....totally agree.... you could get a nasty splinter off the rough wood on those sheds. It's an unacceptable risk....

We assume that a risk assessment has been carried out and the emergency services have indeed been consulted on acceptable access levels etc after all this is NTC who has set this up and we know full well how efficient they can be don't we?

And what would that be oh clever one?

No it isn't.

WW wasn't clear, and apologies if this has already been covered, but the unflattering comparison between last year's and this year's Chrimbo Markets was posted on what I take to be the official Facebook page of last year's market. Sour grapes methinks.

I'm just grateful that our Numpty Town Council didn't have any involvement, and in particular that as far as I am aware no public money was given to support this commercial event.
