Visiting Chester on Saturday for Palestine Day and the anniversary of Hiroshima, and what turned out also to be anti-cuts day, I paid a visit to the Free Stall in Chester indoor market which in just a few months has grown from one counter to a full size stall and is now open all week. Every market should have one!

Later on in the day, I bumped into Vic Button and his brother Reg busking in the city centre. Any electrical goods brought to the free stall can be safety tested for free at Vic's electrical shop in the market (Buttons Electricals: shop unit 8) and get a PAT sticker before they're put out on the stall for the taking.

Take your donations of unwanted but useable stuff to the free stall any time during market opening hours, or just turn up and see what you can find to take. Why not start a stall of your own? Increase the sharing.
