Personally I think it’s such a shame GTH have been threatened to such an extent by the local council for the stupidity of a few.
I guess if you watched 100 people wearing masks that actually are not use to them as work “mainly” in a solitary environment for an hour then 100 of those will probably adjust them etc within that hour. It’s not an excuse but wearing of a mask is still fairly new to most people and not actually a pleasant experience even tho it’s a essential one.

All of the markets I’ve been to have spent money on screens and social distancing with masks is all being adhered too.
If anyone doesn’t follow rules which isn’t very often the mart is stopped until they do otherwise they are asked to leave
I haven’t been to a market for a while but went the Lazonby in October and they was very strict, they had bouncers there making sure you kept to the rules.

We know you are anti markets given your comments the last few months on TFF.

I have been at every sat market buying and things are certainly not anywhere near as bad as the council are claiming but of course the government have now given councils the power to shut down ANY business on the spot with the business having no right of appeal which is an utter disgrace!

No. Its the right way.

They are not about!

Not sure why Exeter and Sedge had such low trades compared to SM this week.

I still think both spring lambs and hoggs will still go up in price yet.
I will be surprised to see then rise much more than this...but its like someone told me the other day everyone wants a few but there are less to go around so they have to bid more, as there not buying as many as normal so can sell what they have for the increased price..it sounds complicated but it makes sense
