The market town of Altrincham, Cheshire is understandably proud of it’s
Royal Charter, granted in 1290 and allowing the good citizens to meet weekly
and exchange goods and services – which they still do after all that time.
Civic pride is so great that a new statue was erected and dedicated just
last month to commemorate the famous stall-keepers and their diligent
service over the centuries.
However, Saturday night is Saturday night in any English town – so walking
across the marketplace on Sunday morning I was one of the first to see this
amusing reminder of the silliness that must have taken place after closing
time at the pub.
This is harmless fun – and much better than graffiti or vandalism – so I
hope the town council doesn’t get too hot under the collar and install a
fence or some other over-kill gesture.
