Potentially a large number of people packing into a large unventilated area.

Just what we want.

It's a farmer's market based in Stafford. Stop being deliberately obtuse.

Suggesting that it's not a proper farmers' market, which I've understand to be "a physical retail marketplace intended to sell foods directly by farmers to consumers, isn't being obtuse.
Sherbrook Valley Mushrooms is the only one that to me looks like a "farmer".

I was meaning what farmers might want to buy but am getting confused now so think we had best return to discussing "Stafford shops opening" which might be less likely if they're losing business to occasional markets such as this one.

Quite likely, so maybe the title could be changed.
Imagine the disappointment of someone travelling a distance expecting to find meat and dairy produce and there being none.

Don't think many people travel a distance to shop in Stafford. More likely Stafford people travel a distance to shop elsewhere.

Thin end of the wedge, footballers used to have to be born in the village they played for. It'll all get commercialised and we'll end up having shopping malls. Oh, hang on, we've done that and someone f*ck*d it up.

Boomers moaning about things getting all 'commercialised' after 40 years of voting for just that, is 'peak' boomer.

Boomers moaning about *footballers-these-days*, after wearing 'not knowing who Lionel Messi is' as some sort of badge of honour, is so beyond parody that it's becoming difficult to categorise how low you have demeaned yourselves.
