Had a couple of days off work this week so today, with it being market day we decided to go to Dewsbury. Havent been to Wednesday market for years, so didnt known what to expect after reading all the doom & gloom I read on these pages. Well, all I can say is Dewsbury is far from dead, ok, its not like the Good old days but there were plenty of people shopping, yer, some of the shops are a bit iffy & theres too many empty units (BTW whoever owns the arcade needs to hang their head in shame, its totally ridiculous the way those shops are being neglected, in other towns Ive seen empty shops with some kind of poster display showing how the shop could look, thats more pleasing than the emptiness that looks so depressing at the moment, even some xmas trimmings could help bring a bit of colour back into the place). Anyway, like Ive posted before, all any town needs is its locals to go there & spend a few pounds every week. I saw plenty of market traders & shop staff working hard to make a living, they need our support & cash, they certainly got ours today, best part of a hundred spondoolies, & we actually enjoyed it, ended up having fish n chips at Snack bar ( or whatever they call it nowadays ☺)
