No supermarket can beat that! <br />There are still many fruit & veg markets here. The market merchants introduced the saying: on the market your guilder has the value of a "daalder". A "daalder" was 1 guilder 50 cents. Now that we have the euro here, it is about time they should come up with a new one.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512412669995490110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-3047417337137209262013-01-27T10:34:04.520+00:002013-01-27T10:34:04.520+00:00It is indeed a great old photograph.

We have a farmer's market in Edinburgh and the produce is local and excellent. Sadly though, a lot of shops are closing and in some local towns the High Streets are full of charity shops or "to let". I wonder if we can pull it back from the supermarket giants?

All to often, they are over-priced and survive by pandering to the woolly-minded thinking of the middle-class with a kitchen full of Faddy cook-booksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378637587289025611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-75330923344531883102013-01-26T18:43:18.093+00:002013-01-26T18:43:18.093+00:00I just realized I don't even know where the fa...I just realized I don't even know where the farmer's market is here in Atlanta. During the summer there are various places where growers can sell their wares on parking lots around town. Of course they are nothing like the glorious market in your photo. The produce at the local supermarket is so pitiful.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-34117292183045068122013-01-26T18:05:35.641+00:002013-01-26T18:05:35.641+00:00It is indeed Francene.

Aided by the facilities of a Student culture - University of Surrey, Law College, Technical College and the performance arts. The proximity to London helps, and that has always been there - 35 miles or so to London 30 mins on the fast train!Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-72155614307634372932013-01-26T17:47:18.709+00:002013-01-26T17:47:18.709+00:00It's a shame when all the old features are los...It's a shame when all the old features are lost. My nearest shopping town, Borehamwood, sees more shops closing every day.
