[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7849558, member: 2119"] I went to Lincoln yesterday. Very naughty, diesel burnt, but sometimes it nice to see different faces now and a again. Anyway there were signs up everywhere saying car parks are going to be closed for a fortnight. This is to allow for the “Christmas Market” a binge fest where people are invited to travel from all over the country to buy plastic tat you can buy anywhere. The tat will also be hauled in from all over the world. Usually there is a large contingent of German traders as well, as for some reason a market with a German flavour, (generally lukewarm mediocre wine and sausages heavily spiced to disguise the flavour of old sow) is considered a good thing - though personally I’m indifferent to it. The roads will be closed to traffic and hundreds of thousands of people will wander zombie like through darkened streets in search of that one material item that will make so much difference to their present circumstances but will probably be in landfill by 5th January. There never is the slightest acknowledgement that maybe we need to change our priorities, maybe move on just a bit from reliance of selling stuff for the sake of selling stuff. It needn’t be a change for the worse. It could even be better. But when see you all this going on a week after COP26 you wonder if anybody really wants to know. [/QUOTE]
