Take some money with you!Is this to give to the fork truck driver so you get tipped. Cos ive heard stories about some markets
I donât know if it is still the same but you used to have to pay a toll to get into some of the London markets, same in France, and you would quite often have to allow them to syphon off some diesel âfor the fork-lift truckâ.

Take lots of pound coins instead of notes because some will take your notes and not give you the change if its obviously less than what youâve given them!
They wonât charge you to get in, and you wonât need pound coins, we have used your âEnglishâ money before chaps!

Yes you can stop for a coffee on the way up and change a white fiver into pound notes
Glesgey is free to get in harry, but the traders all start at different times, so if you can get one forkie to tip the lot, it can save some time, well worth a fiver even if you only get an extra hour in the bunk 
Free entry at glesga mkt , most companyâs will be open at 4am and probably closed by noon !
Always a good idea to keep some coins with you a wee bit of grease always helps a squeaky wheel
Be carefull who you give stock to its not the first time I have heard of a forkie saying he was from xyz company (ESP if the pallets are labeled !)
Trust me I worked there 15yrs , any problems give a shout I live 2mins from the place
