    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'
