shepherds bush market is as diverse as anywhere in the planets, Multi coloured Brits, Sudanese, Egyptian, Afghan, Jaoanese, Punjabi and Aghani Sikhs, Nicco the fishmner is a greek orthodox Albanian. And these are the stall holders I know. Chatting with an Egyptian suitcase seller about Gaza , he siad how useful it was that the gulf arabs bankrolled gaza, otherwise he sad sadly, ..”they will all come over here, then God hlep us..”

I have a plan to print some T shirts, scourced in the market, exhbited and then returned to sell in the market. Tony, a wise and amibale Seikh who runs Bobby’s with his sister told me that no regular custoe of his would have enough money to pay for a value added souvenir T shirt”… No one has any money , we keep going for the tow months in the summer selling to Middle Eastern tourists, and they are the worst, bargining me down to the lowest margin…”

my plan to print some t shirts, scourced in the market at a local screen printer met some opposition form the market authorites. Shepherds Bush Market Lives implies that it is dying they said. OK Shepherds Bush Market stays. Lets see if I mange to get any printed.
