I think I speak for all when I say I'm absolutely delighted to see that Barmy isn't going to let himself be limited by a so-called "saturated" category.I don't think anyone would argue that the most saturated is jewellery, with the number of traders rigorously capped for many years. Until recently, that is. Ever the bold and adventurous manager, Barmy has ripped up his own rule book for the benefit of the market.
Seeing clearly that the market is, in fact, afflicted by a severe shortage of jewellery, Barmy's main achievement this Friday was to set a new all-time record for jewellery stalls.
In the half of the market south of Durnford Street - the arts & crafts half on Fridays now - there were 20 jewellery traders occupying 27 out of 79 stalls. That's a magnificent 34% of the arts & crafts section devoted to one type of product. In one full-width aisle of 14 stalls, 6 were devoted to jewellery. In another of only 13 stalls, there were another 6 stalls of jewellery.
Well done Barmy. We salute you.

yes, i hear you but they may of been young, pretty people who need to be given a forum! like when about 2 years back a young attractive south american was given a pitch when there was a no more jewellery policy.but apparently she offered something new!!! just so happened she was barny's girlfriend!! (for a while)
The reason for this is that the message coming from the top is "Fill the stalls".
It does seem that being young and pretty helps getting a stall and few problems. Is this a conflict of interests?
How many girls on the market is Barmy up to now?
Does John Burton know this?
Does John Burton read these bloggs?
Questions, questions, questions...
Going Barmy
"Ignore fact and reason, live entirely in the world of your own fantastic and myth-producing passions; do this whole-heartedly and with conviction, and you will become one of the prophets of your age".
He's done most of it, but I don't think the last bit will come to pass.
What is wrong with ben from south america racists.........
Mentioning where someone hails from doesn't make them a racist. Sometimes background just aids comprehension. Just because I comment on your origins on the Planet Tharg doesn't make me alienist. By the way, on Earth we don't use the word "ben" when we mean "being". TTFN
I got a little excited then as I thought someone was trying to send us a coded message explaining Ben's sad departure from the Market... but alas it's just another Tosser.
