>I have watched the decline of my local (Warwick UK) Saturday market over
35 years.  It now seems to be just selling very poor quality clothing.
I used to buy vegetables there, but find that they are usually well beyond
their sell-by date
and again very poor quality.
Markets are declining all over the country, and I suspect that the traders
have brought this
on themselves.

Car Boot Sales seem much better value, where at least you can haggle over
the price of
usually good quality second hand goods.  But beware the commercial traders
are moving
in on them.........
