New creative additions to our market

This lovely bright addition to the Thursday Market sells olives.



And this great idea - A Hen hut on wheels selling eggs at 30 for £1.50

What a bargain!



Next thing we'll have chickens feeding from seed in between the cobbles!

Sometimes a bargain is too good to be true. 30 eggs for £1.50 seems pretty suspicious to me - the supermarkets sell their cheapest, factory-farmed battery hen eggs for double that, so you've got to wonder where these eggs are coming from and in what conditions they're being produced.

The rustic look of the stall hints that they are free range eggs, but if they genuinely were they would say so, rather than just "Fresh eggs" which is meaningless - it's not as if they would be selling rotten eggs is it?

The phrase "you get what you pay for" is usually true when it comes to food, because it does cost more keep livestock in good conditions / grow crops without chemical pesticides etc. £1.50 for 30 eggs from free range hens would be a ridiculous price if true.

Your antennae are well tuned.
