Recently Harry Enfield’s sketches have come up on my socials and I am now a huge fan.
The Dragon’s Den and I Saw You Coming are giggle-worthy. I love markets, the friendliness and community aspect as well as the crafts and homemade food. Occasionally there will be a stallholder who believes they should be selling their goods in Knightsbridge as these are the type of prices they charge.
I have come across this type of market seller on more than a few occasions. They appear to immediately profile you and decide what you can afford.

Haggling is something I always enjoy but nowadays it is unheard of in most markets. I learnt my haggling craft when I visited the Souks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 1992. The haggling scene in The Life of Brian movie was not far from reality.

Harry and Paul Dragon’s Den

The Dragon’s Den parody replicates the supercilious nature of most of the judges on any of the reality TV shows. When Paul Whitecross crosses his eyes at the end of The Alan Sugar Parody it cracks me up.
All the best
Stay fab
