All these traders should take a leaf out of the "one pound fish" bloke's book, and he's Asian.

What a load of rubbish,you never had to have a union card to be a porter at Billingsgate,you had to have a license in the past though,nothing to do with union membership or subscription at all.
your are correct though,immigrants are willing to work for less money and wages are reduced,hope you are less confused now.

This thread is a disgrace .
I have written to my MP about . A pointless excercise really as it doesn't concern t*ts or drugs , so I doubt she'll be interested .

Indeed, people with different coloured skin don't have a good a sense a humour as those that are white, you can't beat it.

The local garage has decided to start employing young Brits which I think is fantastic, previous to that it was only Asians being employed. May be just may be the franchisees thought it would be better for their business to start employing some Brits again.
I have also noticed that the local fish and chip shop has decided to employ a Brit to take the orders over the phone, for them it probably makes perfect business sense. Orders taken over the phone are done much quicker than dealing with someone who has broken English. At least as a customer you can get your point across. People need to stop getting so sensitive about things.

Yep, because everything sold in the market back in the 70's was purely legitimate wasn't it? Not one thing was dodgy. All bought fairly and above board.

Going completely off tangent here, but I recently read Danny Baker's first auto-biography.
Very good it is, but as I was reading about his dad and his 'bunce', it struck me that he would be completely vilified in today's press, and by many people who read said press.

yes, back in the day there was the stalls that sold dodgy jeans and trainers, but they were more " crap" trainers and jeans that had labels that you had never heard of. Yesterday, the market I briefly attended was almost 100% full of stalls selling what supposedly is fake gear that you normally see in Europe being sold on the streets( michael kors handbags, emperor Armani Trakkies, ray ban sunglasses...all at a tenner a pop)
My point, I will reiterate, was that the markets that I remember at the race hill included amongst the tat sellers, many vegetable and meat stalls as well as local artisans selling their home made jewellery and that sort of thing. It appears that these have gone to be replaced by sellers above.

I went to the previous bank holiday market and there were Asian guys serving up chicken tikka biriyani. It was top notch.
Times change and people can get stuff cheaper on the internet these days.
The OP comes across as a sad elderly xenophobe.

Oh the irony ....... Asian serves up a good chicken tikka biriyani story, multiculturalism at its best.
