Pot Luck Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Has anyone been to the market recently, there is always some odd shops popping up now and again and then they vanish in a flash. Any good shops at the moment down there ? Link to comment
Pudgie Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Has anyone been to the market recently, there is always some odd shops popping up now and again and then they vanish in a flash. Any good shops at the moment down there ?There's quite a decent music top shoppee. Hoodies, concert and band t-shirts etc etc. Think that's it for new ones. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 The markets a dump. Says the boy with "Tripoli" set as his location. I presume you're nae there now? The market is good for things you might need but don't know it yet. A travel kettle for instance. Link to comment

The market is good for things you might need but don't know it yet. A travel kettle for instance. Or a sack of Jasmine rice. Or a new phone cover. Or hair extensions. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Or a sack of Jasmine rice. Or a new phone cover. Or hair extensions. I have enough hair. Is this the same market as the one on sometimes that's all international or is it another one. The more the merrier. Plenty bargains to be had at a market. Link to comment

Plenty bargains to be had at a market. I was thinking of the indoor market. But you're right, the more markets the merrier. Except the one at the Castlegate, on a Friday and Saturday. It's sh*te.

muttondressedaslamb Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I was poor as a child so we would shop there on our summer trip to Aberdeen. My parents parted with their hard earned coppers so I could chuck them in the pool. Good times. Last time I was there it was pretty grim, the pool has gone and the top floor was full of sh*t shops.
