It\u2019s a farmers\u2019 market. I believe for whatever reason you were moved was for the overall benefit of the market.<br \/>\nFarm produce, consumable items like baked goods, jams and jellies, sweet corn, lettuce. Not t-shirts and photos of historic buildings. Non-related items should be grouped and merchandised separately. You don\u2019t see summer shorts for sale at pet food stores. I believe it\u2019s simply a marketing and merchandising decision of which I support.<br \/>\nI\u2019m appalled that David has used your local paper to imply that a hearing impairment may cause a safety issue for him when in fact he only wishes to remain front stage and centre at the market.
