Marketplace Revisited

I don't care what anyone says, I think the new look market place is OK. It looks good and you can kind of see what they were aiming for, right down to the bit on the Kettering timeline where they've conveniently left room for the demise of the Poppies. Plus, given the fact that the three and a half stalls which make up Kettering market are NEVER going to move back there, something had to be done with the area. By the way, I always laugh when the morning travel reports on Radio Northampton make a point of informing their listeners that they should look out for increased traffic on market days in Kettering! I'm not sure a fruit & veg stall, a bloke selling his collection of old CD's and a guy flogging fish out of the back of his van should really disrupt our over-burdened road network too much!

As we foresaw in an earlier blog, the area seems to have developed into a mecca for our dumb-ass, halfwit youths to do those tossy skateboard jumps, which by all laws of physics, should shatter their legs every time, and ride tiny little bikes with no brakes. What is it with these chavvy dickheads and their tiny little bikes? You must have seen them. Generally they are full grown men on piddly, single gear BMX type bikes, with their saddles about an inch above the back wheel, with their only method of braking to shove a foot on the rear wheel! When they pedal hard, reaching speeds of almost walking pace, their knees are bobbing furiously either side of their stupid heads!

Curiously, none of the Council's "artist's impressions" of how the market place would look featured the town's gaggle of half-brained, inbred scum draped over it, looking like they need culling. No, the initial drawings tended to feature perfect looking families enjoying the fountains, horse-drawn carriages and leafy trees. And not the collection of low-browed scuzz, who's only interest to society is to throw a spanner in the works of the theory of evolution.

But, as we are dealing with Kettering Borough Council, which is second to none when it comes to addressing the concerns of its residents (sarcasm), action has been swift and decisive. This sign has now gone up on the market square. Who knows, if the mongrels could actually read after attending school for 10 years, it might have some effect, but I doubt it. We shall see.
