Yeah I remember it. I thought it was great at the time and was really disappointed when they took it away! It was black.

If it's the same one I know it might be on the move again.The pic looks like it was taken at Ingliston Market outside Edinburgh which is being closed down due to expansion at Edinburgh Airport (I believe).The market keeps getting raided for dodgy pirate CDs & DVDs,which may be the real reason for the closure.It used to be good for inexpensive tools and ex-army gear,but now you need a parrot,an eyepatch and a jolly roger bandanna to blend in!
