I'm a huge fan of markets - both philosophically (because I like the idea of growers being able to sell directly to the public without a middleman taking his cut) and because they can be fun. But they can also be frustrating - especially when they are run by neo-hippies. Exactly how three people can stand behind a counter in a small business and yet only one one of them actually have the nous to serve the queue of five customers has got me stumped. Whatever they are on, they should abstain before market day.
