European Market

[Drisgirl]

We have one ATM in our little town and I had a wander-on my own- sadly- and it was bleeding brilliant.
They travel all over.

There was a stall which only had 2 giant pans of paella -it looked ace and then there was the fresh French Breads and pain chocolats -the smell and the atmosphere was absolutely brilliant.
Yet the people of our smalll town -said -its really dear (expensive) -well what do you want ??????????

Those people have to cover their costs to bring their part of Europe to you.

Saw John Swinney there -was the SNP leader -thats a BTW cos hes always rattling around.

Shamefully I didnt buy anything cos I felt such a billy walking about on my own and I wanted to share it with someone.

Its on tomorrow so ive managed to co-erce my 84yr old doll across the road to come down with me -result lol

You get them in your town??

Black country is out past birmingham where they all talk in a foreign language sahn tha dah.

as yah goooin

terambulan - the Black Country is in the Midlands, between Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Coventry. The museum is called The Black Country Living Museum, and 'black' is not a politically incorrect word.

[legend.isgod]

Apparently if travelling thru there dont leave any windows inyour car open or hang out of them as locals may steal your watches or jewellery.


Also all the folk from there ive met do tend to sport tattoos and large soverign type chunky rings.

Yes that does include the women.

And they are very artistic because some of the homemade tattoos are a sight to see.

terambulam -thanks for asking -spoke more to him when he was in Japan than when he has got back to Edinburgh -so im guessing he is alright lol

Leg -I know the bleeding apple ones -rhey are acey maccy

Ethel -I am gonna try a crepe tomorrow -think the auld doll will need something to line her stomach as well before she gets fired into the Bacardi -so that'll do the trick -thing is im gonna have to walk her out with her trolley when she has a fag -then come back out for her when I get a tap on the window lol.Bless her.

What I very embarissingly (sorry sp? late) was meaning was a croque monsiuer -nothing to with a frog nor chocolate but bleeding good all the same.(ham and cheese toastie really )

We were once in the west coast of France (took our caravan with us -and I drove half the way -scary stuff but ace -met someone from my hometown on this random campsite -bizarre -new thread) )- with the kids (Vendee - St Juan le Pins ) and the me and D took the kids up every night for this ace waffle ice cream -he used to string it up into a cone shape and then lash ice cream into it and it was delish -then we lashed them (the bairns) on the wee dodgems lol -happy days indeed.

I love it when these continental markets come to town. I look at everything on display, loudly exclaim at each stall what a rip-off price the stuff is, then go and shop elsewhere.

O I succumbed yesterday -had garlic prawns to die for -huge and delicious.
I also bought a Spanish sausage which we buy in Spain for about 2� and I paid �4.50 but I love it -called Cheznaka (just made that up cos I cant remember but sounded good lol)

My wee friend bought 2 baquettes ,so not only did I have my bag, her arm and her walking stick when she stopped at the bank or any given stall -I had to cart her baquettes about as well, but she had an ace time -she's 85 in December -o and she fair enjoyed her 3 bacardis in her local that she cant get to anymore.Really good afternoon:)
