Market’s identity crisis
BEFORE Christmas, I paid a visit to the festive German market in Leeds.
I purchased something to eat from a stall and asked the assistant where in Germany she was from.

At another stall I purchased a mulled wine and I was served by a woman from Hungary.
As I stood drinking I saw a white van pull up alongside the market.
The van was advertising a Leeds-based frozen food company and two men started delivering to stalls.

In praise of hospital food
From: Michael Shepherd, Chapman Gate, Pocklington, East Yorkshire.
YOU asked for our views on hospital food (Yorkshire Post, January 11).
Having just spent a few days in York Hospital, I must tell you that the food in there was good. No complaints at all.

Hide AdI AM sitting reading your weekend article entitled ‘Small wonder patients are turned off by hospital food’ (Yorkshire Post, January 11).
At this moment I am sitting up in a hospital bed eating breakfast. I can tell you it is very good indeed first hand.
I had an operation just two hours since.
