00:07selling a variety of goods. Brilliant life, out in the sun, brilliant market. We're just
00:14going through a big change in the next few weeks, the market's moving up the high street.
00:19It's been redeveloped, hopefully for the better. Basically, the customers are fantastic.
00:25We've had a brilliant life here and hope to have a few more years.
