I've had couple of emails reminding me that Opera John died a week ago today and pointing out that no-one (official) seems to have acknowledged his contribution to the market's personality over the years.
I'll be posting a tribute to John as soon as possible, so can you please email me at whistler @ hushmail.com with any info, photos, anecdotes and so forth. Thanks.

Come on you lot. A week on and still nothing about Opera John.
go to his old stall and have a murrey mint, they were his payment to the porters who helped him up to the burnley street market, and I'm sure i saw him slip a few mints to the management (to secure his six tables?) there is also a little note and drawing on his table.
