Boxtops:
Isn't it a sign of old age when you find yourself saying "it's not so many years ago" and realise that it was actually 17 years ago? (The law changed in 1994!).
Welsh:
To me 'Donny' means Doncaster, not Donnington! (There was a time when many Sheffield bus drivers pretended not to have heard of 'Doncaster'. They'd ask 'Dust tha mean Donny, luv?").
Anyone:
Is Donnington market still a 'proper' market or has it (like so many other markets') 'gone posh'? With the big supermarkets now selling clothing, electrical goods and just about anything else, a lot of the traditional 'cheapo' market stalls around here have now disappeared, to be replaced by traders selling 'posh' bread (at £3 or £4 for a small loaf), upmarket cakes (at £1.50 for a cup cake), and luxury 'deli' items (such as cheeses at £20 per kilo).

Mrs M, is it still the same? hope so!...and Chris, we always called it Donny Market, think everyone in a 30 mile radius does too!......it used to be great, really cheap, very busy, then as Mrs M said, lovely Sunday lunch at the Hotel by the river (I think!) in Donnington near to Donnington Park!.........
