I love the fact that she mentions the market.
Been there many times with the wife and outlaws (in laws).
The market is half in the north and half in the south.
PSNI turn up and all the dodgy gear moved to the other end of the tables.
Likewise with the Garda.
It was funny when they got their heads together and turned up at the same time.
Never seen so much running and vehicles screaming away.

lol great place for a bargin though,
i used to go every sunday when i was growing up, and the only place to go to buy fireworks at holloween
strange storage units though lol who would of thought you could ever buy cigarettes and DVD's or a chipped playstation from the rear of an old ambulance lmfao suppose if the blue boys came they could stick on the siren and look casual

I'd get twitchy when people were buying fireworks, they'd be firing them off right next to the trailer they were selling them from.
They would see the fireball in Derry.

they were the FCA not really an army since they dont have many guns or join wars or anything lol
you could join the FCA and still work a full time job lol i knew a guy who worked in tesco and was a member of the FCA too i asked him what it was all about and he says their would be weekend outings doing rock climing and orieentering, camping survival skills etc. used to call them the ''free cloths association''

Excellent, Lenny. We used to have a market like that in Glasgow. It was called 'Paddy's Market'. You could purchase all manner of goods there! One day I went to buy a vacuum cleaner. Unfortunately, H.M. Revenue and Customs were there also, checking out all the traders. They made me open the dust bag in the hoover to check in case it was full of counterfeit !Removed!! Lol.

[Stoney871]

The market in East Belfast is the same, 2lb of spuds, a cabbage and 200 L&B.
The place has more plain clothes peelers than customers.
Belfast is great, even the window cleaners sell cigarettes door to door.

[Andy 1965]

Something for the weekend, Sir? Lol.

[Stoney871]

I can get away with saying this because the other half is in Hospital for a few days --- the Northern Irish can be well shifty.
They know all the scams and tricks.
I was lucky to do some work with the PSNI and the Garda a while back and the cons that i saw were very cheeky, (agricultural diesel in most taxi's, dodgy cigarettes available everywhere, heating oil theft, illegal bars, illegal gambling - the list is endless)

[Andy 1965]

Al Capone would have learned a few tricks there it seems, Clive! Lol. Regards to your other half. Hope everything is okay.
