I UNDERSTAND that York markets have been receiving some criticism recently so I should like to offer some praise.

I recently bought a wallet from the leather goods stall and left my old wallet on the stall.

When I later returned, the young men on the stall had kept my wallet and reported it to the market manager. They had also obtained a phone number which they were proposing to ring if I did not return.

I was very grateful and shall continue my patronage of York markets.
