Funny I should have just remarked upon the jewellery situation.Overheard on Saturday, customer to trader:-
"The last time I came here there was loads of jewellery in this place - now there's even more."
So it's not my imagination then.
In case Barmy should forget what he's trying to achieve, here's a picture.

What we need to remember here is that not only is this situation making life almost impossible for the traders to make a living but also it must be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring for the customers too. Sorry about the rather long "so" - that's where I was thinking about all the jewellery and it became so tedious I must have fallen asleep with my finger on the "o" key.
This weekend there were two jewellery stalls on nearly every row. Even with this fact and also the expansion of the food court, there were still empty stalls in the market.
Wake up GSM bosses - before there's no return for you and your bid to renew your contract in 2012.
Am I the only one who's noticed that one jewellery trader has now got two seperate stalls at the weekend. Diversity my arse.
Please can some of you traders help me. I am confused over the grading system. Is it true that if you are in a saturated category (eg bags or jewellery), that you are not supposed to be graded a 1. The reason I ask is because I have heard of at least 2 traders in these categories who are supposed to have been graded as 1s.
If you know the answer to my question, please DO NOT name the traders as this is not what I am trying to achieve. I am simply questioning the application and fairness of the grading system, a system which I believe is totally humiliating for the traders anyway.

Make that 3 stalls on the market in this companies expanding empire.
But that's not all, Barmy's allowing any Tom, Dick or Henrietta to put out handbags, jewellery & or pictures of one sort or another, "as long as it fits in with the overall ambiance of the stall". HA ha!!
It don't matter what they started with, kids toys / chopsticks, t-shirts / cloths, glass plaques / clocks, all have been seen to diversify into other products.( bags - jewellery - candles - pictures )
Come on food court, let's see you use your imagination -- how about fresh baked bread handbags, salami earrings & cheesy pictures.
Sorry, i think we've got enough cheesy pictures.
No gengis, we are not allowed to use our imagination, unless we are part of Barny's grading system:
1 He eats your type of food
2 You are a pretty girl
3 You have spent hours of crawling and fawning.
If you fit into any of the above three you can do what you like. If not any requests to do something creative will be met with "no".
Back to the grading system. Does anybody bloody understand it? It seems to change every week depending on how popular you are. Maybe we could have a post on this subject. I for one could do with some clarity.
I'd love to do as you ask, but I've never seen the gradings. Can you - or anyone - please email copies of the grading system(s) to me. Scans would be nice, but photos would be fine too.
My email address is on my profile. Don't worry about revealing your email identity - I'll delete your email as soon as I retrieve it.
