Master of Engineering in 2009 final exam in English
These days, there are markets for all tastes. In the London area, Petticoat Lane, Wembley, Chapel Street, Walthamstow and many more local markets sell new clothes produced by well-known designers at prices far below those in the shops. It is said that these often \fall off the back of a lorry \very cheaply. Or else they buy up cheap fabric and make up current fashions at very low prices. As Paul Jones, who runs a stall in different parts of the country on different days, explained, \down and to give the customers a high fashion look. We are not making clothes to last more than a season. Price is the most important thing. \the London shows, and immediately get a copy made up. We're not trying to fool anyone that they are getting the same thing, but we do make only a 30% profit. That's in contrast to 100% or more in the shops, so as I said, the cost of our things is far, far lower. \50s clothes, furs, embroidered kimonos, and old scarves. But there are also stalls selling very cheap Indian things, new jeans and shirts. At the top end of the road there are junk stalls where, if you look carefully, it is sometimes possible to pick up second-hand clothes for a few pence. The Greenwich Antique Market concentrates on good examples of old clothes. Valerie Johns, who runs a stall there, searches all over the country for things which she herself would like to keep. She says that this is the best way of believing in what you are selling! Her stall is mostly stocked with Victoriana (Victorian products), 30s lingerie (Lingerie) and old silk scarves.
