Vegetable ladies are brilliant. We just love the open freedom of it and the atmosphere. It's just great.
00:17
And these are fresh veg from a local farm, so we would drive miles but we're only up the road at Balderton.
00:24
And then we also use the meat and the cheese and whatever. I think it's lovely.
00:30
And the ambience as well is beautiful in the square.
00:33
And surrounded by all the lovely old buildings. It's just brilliant.
00:37
Yeah, because of the tradition of the market, I was born in Newark.
00:42
I love coming to the veg shop here because it's all locally grown vegetables,
00:45
so I think it's really important to support local produce and local people that work here.
00:51
It's really important, otherwise you don't use it, you lose it.
00:54
Well, the reason is that there's like this lady behind us, that superb quality.
01:03
There is the stuff in there and it's well worth coming in for that.
01:09
But to be honest with you, a lot of the time there's a chap over there that we buy things off.
01:14
It's to do with trying to support these people who are doing a good job.
01:19
And it's so easy to come to, so that's what we do.
01:24
But it's supporting people, that's what we need to do.
01:28
Instead of just shops that are... well, not shops, you've got to have shops, haven't you?
01:33
That's the whole thing.
01:35
We like to support the local growers and the independent people, you know, market traders.
01:44
I think it's better produce, personally.
01:47
It's much fresher produce as well.
01:49
I mean, it could be days before the produce is being sold to the public.
01:56
In the soap market.
01:58
I don't think markets should disappear, because the nice people, you get a nice bargain.
02:03
For the colour, the people, the bargains and a nice variety.
02:09
Because that stall down there has the best bread in miles
02:14
and the vegetable stall is homegrown, on the ground, out of the ground, I should say.
02:21
And you can't get any fresher.
02:24
That's about it.
02:26
It's always interesting to wander around a market.
02:30
I've done it for years, I was a boy, visiting different places.
02:33
It's always interesting to come and see.
02:35
I'm a little bit disappointed there are no books.
02:38
I'm a real fan of second-hand books.
