Now a man yelling “strawberries for a pound” too early, too often and too loudly can be added to that list. A market trader called – appropriately – Wayne Bellows has been ordered by his local council to turn down the noise because it is causing a nuisance. Bellows has vowed to fight what he called the “completely bizarre and utterly ridiculous” order from Lymington and Pennington town council in Hampshire. Then the council phoned and told me to stop shouting in the morning and only do it in the afternoon. There has been a market in Lymington for 800 years and Dunning said he had sympathy for Bellows.
