Fit's it called?

[TheDeeDon]

Memories of that corner with the fried doughnuts, seagull sh1te and tabs. Branston pickle and fish on calm days in Peterhead and slide tackles through dog sh1te at Sheddocksley make me wonder if my youth used to ming a bit?

You probably wouldn't have had it any other way. I wouldn't want to be growing up in this day and age.

That corner outside the new market was more than a little bit grotty like. The boy that used to run the donut shop didn't smell the best either. He looked like he had sampled a fair bit of his produce and the sweat would be running off him.

Pretty sure George Romero used to film in the New Market

I honestly think being overly hygienic has messed up immune systems.

Surely then the cheeks would be some sort of master race?

Of course they could be a different species?

You're not insinuating they are human?

I remember the New Market being very clean as a kid growing up in the 70s and 80s.

The water features as you come down the stairs were all clean and tidy and folk would thrown in some coins for charity.

Used to get a tattie and bean pie from Duncans un the market, for my dinner most Saturdays. We knew how to live back them. Prototype foodies we were. Possibly washed down with a glass of Bon Accords finest.

Got my ear pierced in the market when I just left school in 89 and ended up with an infected lug and had to go into hospital to get the earring removed. I remember going into A&E and telling the receptionist I had an earring in my ear and as quick as a flash she retorted "that's where you usually wear them". 🤣

I think it went downhill in the 90s, after the Bon Accord centre opened.

Fast foward 35 years and the Bon Accord centre is fast turning into to a latter day New Market and could possibly be used in an George Romero type movie too. Could be said about most of the City Centre now sadly.

Sneckie might be onto something. If you'd been a bit older your "mates" would have done the job with a safety pin! Mind you could be a connection between 'New Market' and 'infected lug'

I got my lug pierced in the New Market as well.
Be about 43 years ago now.
My Dad went mental.
