Jason, 54, Hertfordshire, Construction Worker and his friend Jonny,

Says food products from the market have increased in price since Covid.
“Why would I spend £10 on a salad, when I can go to Aldi”.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are the busiest days on the market.

Mondays and Fridays are generally quiet, because all of the office people work from home.

Back in the day it was a mixed market, there were all types of stalls, but the council changed it all up before Covid, I guess food brings more people and keeps it busy.

He said the market was very diverse and had various foods. I asked him how would you feel if a German won the world cup for England, “ I’ll celebrate, but they’ll always have one over us forever.
