Rejected petition Scunthorpe market
More details
Recently greengrocer Simon Stanley (Scunthorpe Market) was banned from trading for a month and fined £980 for shouting out his prices at his indoor market stall. The reason for this - 'to prevent annoyance to other traders' - I wish the government to take notice that this is a strong part of British Tradition and that anyone in market places should sell their products how they wish vocally or not.
