We think Mary Tissington's amazing. She's just celebrated her 80th birthday and still works on her the family market stall, often getting up at 3.30am and working through to teatime. Quite rightly, she decided that after 60 years on the stall she ought to be taking things a bit easy now so she decided to... take Fridays off! - just for a few weeks mind until the weather improves at least.
More counterfeit goods worth a massive £1m have been seized, this time at Wembley Market. Stalls were targeted by Tokyngton Safer Neighbourhoods Team in a joint operation with Brent and Harrow trading standards. Disreputable traders were having a disastrous impact on honest market stallholders at the market.
