From the Design Museum we had a quick hop on the coach to Borough Market. I wondered if it would be anything like Wolverhampton Market…
……. but you just couldn’t compare it …… …… it was sooooooo romantic.I so wanted to look all cosmopolitan and sophisticated and at ease in my surroundings but I think my over excited demeanour may have given me away ….. My senses were assaulted by everything around me, I just didn't know where to look Some of the stalls were just Five A Day Heaven as they were stacked with wondrous vegetables I’d never seen before, like ….
I found that the stallholders were very generous too ……
…. at almost every stall I stopped and looked at in awe someone would offer me something to try ….. oh my life ….
I sampled with gusto and refused nothing …… …… except for the wild rabbit, venison and boar ….. and the most mahoooooosive piece of fish I have ever seen ….. it would have done us for fish fingers for years!After trying a small piece of meringue, I succumbed and purchased a very large raspberry one to eat back on the coach …… it was worth a very easy 10 noms.
This sign made me laugh …. I thought of me and Darrell becoming Posh Banger Boys at Wolverhampton car boot sales at the weekend to earn a bit of pocket money!

I hope all leave is cancelled in Scotland Yard monkey - this is a serious matter of grave concern! They need to find that badge pronto!
Maybe her ma'am might be able to put in a word for you.
Get on the blower to Her Majesty asap.

Maybe someone eating purple or yellow cauliflower will find a boiled "M" badge on their plate - oh no!
I have met a few wild bores in my time but never wild boars, just a few livid ones.
Awww Monkey, sorry to hear about your initial badge. Don't give up hope; Scotland Yard will certainly give this loss priority. With your quiet gentlemenly poise (even when scarfing down samples), you do look like a sophiscated London shopper. You would look right at home in Harrod's Food Hall or choosing a hamper at F&M's.

certainly a lot different to our local market - Borough Market looks wonderful. Hope your badge turns up soon x x
