Market Stalls Outside Sainsbury's

Are these open all week or just certain days? I need to get some keys cut. Thanks in advance..

I think the opening days are quite random, but could be wrong! Robert Dyas cut keys too.

Are those keys for that fit young blonde bird who was flirting with you in your local the last time I was on your manor ?

They are open from 10 Tuesday to Saturday.

I love the market and want it to thrive but when I was sitting on the green opposite there and a bit to the right the other day - one bright light shining out from there in the daytime was uncomfortable for me. Is it just me ? Probably just me, its funny cos I never notice a light when Im shopping for fruit there !

It must have been a holographic hyper energy beam coming from a bowl of melons!

peter you ve gone n jinxed our market geezer ! why are they shut today on a tuesday ?

Thanks all. I got my keys cut, today, and did my shopping at Sainsbury's where I see the car parking operations have changed - since I last visited, anyway, and probably for the better. I asked the key cutter/shoe repairer how business was (this stall was open!). He said not too bad but not as good since Covid. I asked why. He said people don't go out as much so their shoes don't wear out as quickly. It seems that no-one has escaped the effects of The Great Covid Scam..

Perhaps he should add shoeing horses to his business - then you could take your race-winner there and help his trade.

The fruit and veg stall didn't seem to be operating last week on the two occasions I passed by. Can anyone confirm it is back in action?

Anita Blake ● 535d

Local folk aren't so well heeled these days ... that's why the cobbler is suffering!

Jim Lawes ● 535d

The fruit n veg stall was very poular including with myself !

Anna Kirkpatrick ● 535d

- just walked past the mkt , the fruit n veg stalls back in business hurrah.

Anna Kirkpatrick ● 534d

That's a big relief. Thanks for the update.

I'm assuming we all remember the flower stall and the household goods store next to it that have disappeared from memory covid affected?

peter king ● 534d

What happened to those stalls Peter out of interest ? I know the chap that ran the music stall shut down due to lack of trade - a shame, I liked that stall.

Anna Kirkpatrick ● 534d

I remember a conversation I had with the family owner of the household goods stalls. He told me that after many enjoyable years selling his goods to the locals, the emergence and popularity of the Pound shop rendered the early mornings and long days necessary to make a living unworthy.I like to think his family found their vocation elsewhere. As for flower seller Peter, I'm guessing he took a similar line, succumbing to the competition to the Wheeler's flower stalls and M&S.Shame, all were good honest vendors.

I noticed yet another odd thing about a light today from the green(again) - on top of 'Crepe Affaire' a couple of shops down from the market ; on the roof is an odd flashing/pulsing light or something that looks like a light. Can anyone enlighten me as to what it is please ? There s one on top of a bldg in Grove Park also that sort of flashes/pulses towards the primary school. Why do they need lights in the daytime anyway ?

Anna Kirkpatrick ● 532d

That flashing/pulsing thing is going off like the clappers when I went past 'Crepe Affaire' just now. Seriously - doesnt anyone know what it is / what its purpose is ???? Its not as if Hounslow council are likely to enlighten us.
