The Barras, full of .....

I call this look "Ice"

The Barras, are a strange place.  Yes it is run down and dirty, but it is also full of life and great finds.  On a cold day, (which it was), you can get a great bacon buttie (roll/sandwich) or fried egg roll and cup of tea.  This is what these men where doing (as were Dexter and I whilst Anders was having a look about some of the the brick-a-brac stores).  

Anyone for a bacon buttie?

It is a place where people are looking to find something

What's in store?

It is a place where you can find treasures or junk, a bit of this and that, wheeling and dealing, ducking and diving.  You don't make a pearl after all without some grit, and this place has both if you look for it.

Looking for ....

That said, it is also a place where you have to be street wise as many a person I am sure had been "had" here in one form or other.   That would leave you feeling cold that's for sure!
