We got there just in time to catch the final two hours of trading before the clean up operation began. Here are few photographs of what we came across:

There is definately something bleak about the Wholesale Markets – I certainly wouldn’t want to work their all night!
Comment by Amir April 14, 2008 @ 8:17 pmWhere I work is equally as bleak, you know about it when you’re there! I feel as miserable as those pictures look! Is this a similar experience of working conditions that other nightworkers face?
Comment by Sarah April 18, 2008 @ 1:36 pmDoes it make you generally more moody like me???
Where I work looks like that but its bleaker when you are actually there! and it makes feel miserable most of the time! Do any of you night workers out there experience the same miserableness or is it different for you???
