“I’ve sold Jesus Christ… could I interest you in St Patrick?” So asked Martyn Watson, left, of Penrith, Cumbria, stalling out in the Epic Centre and keen to shift his statue of Ireland’s patron saint.
The travel time to Lincoln of four hours is worth it, he says, as he can bank on the same customers turning up, “so I know I’ve sold things before I get here”. The shift from two to one day is good, he feels, as “my take is going to be the same”.
