Devizes Christmas Market

I’m so disengaged with my home town of Devizes it’s unreal. Somehow I had totally missed the fact that tonight was the opening of the Devizes Christmas Market. I don’t even know if it’s going to be a fixture in the Market Place up until Christmas or is just a one off for tonight.

Anyway I was walking into town to post off some packages and remarked to myself that there seemed to be a lot of people on the streets this evening and that many of the kids appeared to have very cheap looking lightsabre toys. Then I stumbled upon a burger van and a Punch and Judy show stationed outside the job centre or whatever the hell the New-Labour title is for it now.

It was then that I knew for certain that something was going on in town tonight and sure enough there is an outdoor Christmas market going on selling the tackiest cheapest crap possible. These Devizes market traders really know their customers.
