Occupying hundreds of acres of some of the most valuable land in the country and causing regular and persistent traffic congestion, will the three markets stay where they are as Britain's most important centres for the distribution of fruit, vegetable and flowers, fish and meat? Or will they be closed and the distribution centres move outside London? This film looks at the problem of London's main markets, visits them at their busiest time, in the early morning, and highlights their problems. This is a film full of the colour and bustle that is so characteristic of the three old markets, and it is a film that brings into focus the market men, their work, and the markets traditions which have often been handed down through five or six generations.

This film was first broadcast: 1960

Frequently Asked Questions

What can we learn from the past?

Three lessons can be learned from history. To change the world, you have to do it all yourself. Second, when you change how people live, you must ensure they're ready for it. Third, when you change the future, you have to make it better.

The first lesson is to recognize that there are two options for changing the world. One is fighting for it, the other is creating it. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why you started fighting.

Although you cannot control the reactions of people to your ideas, you can control how they are presented. If you try to convince someone, you will fail. But, if your goal is to inspire someone to act, you'll be successful.

Most great movements began because somebody had an idea and decided to act upon it. Whether you are creating change or responding to it, these are the three best ways to make your mark. Be clear about what is important to you, be open about where you came from, and dare to go where no one else has.

Second, we have the ability to choose. We have two options: we can wait for life to happen to you or we can make it happen. This means we need to choose what kind of life you want. Is it better to decide what kind of life we want or wait for someone else? Or are we ready to decide our fate?

I believe that we are living in the golden age. There is more opportunity than ever, which makes it exciting. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.

But it also creates a problem. It is essential to determine what you want, and how you can get it.

Let's suppose you want to buy your first house. You could wait and see if someone gives you Home Depot gift certificates. You could also ask yourself "What would you love to do?" Then, look for a job that lets you do it. Final step: Apply for financing.

Now, let's say you wanted to travel the world. Now, you might wonder "Where would I like to go?" You might then start saving money and researching other countries online. Then, you book a trip.

Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. If that were the case, you would probably do one of those things anyway. You can increase your chances to get what you want by asking these questions. Although it may sound silly, it is effective.

The third lesson is that regardless of what happens next, there are always ways to improve the future. It's easy. Our choices impact who we become and who we are.

You can learn from the mistakes and successes of others and continue to improve until you achieve your goals.

If you don’t believe that you have anything to contribute, then you are already behind. You have to believe in yourself.

Don't worry if you don't know where you should start. Start small and build from there. Take stock of the lessons you've learned in your entire life. What have you failed at? What are you proud of? How did you overcome obstacles?

Last but not least, remember that no one can stop you from reaching your full potential. No matter what anyone says, you can do anything you put your mind to.

Benjamin Franklin said, "Nothing will be successful unless you do."


What are three things that you can learn from the past?

There are many examples in history of how we can learn from our failures. These lessons can be applied today to business problems and used as opportunities for growth.

The past has taught us that there is always a better way. There are always people out there who think outside the box and take risks that make them stand out.

History also shows that sometimes it's the underdogs who triumph. Look back at the times when an underdog won.

Take a look back at the past to learn from it and make improvements for the future. Learn from others' successes and failures.

These lessons will help improve your success rate.


What do our mistakes show us?

Don't be too concerned about making a mistake. It's an opportunity to learn. It's a learning experience that will help you to improve your skills. Even more important, you can correct any mistakes you make. You shouldn't stress about the small details. They happen to all of us.

Even though you may feel embarrassed after making a mistake it doesn't mean you have to feel guilty. What matters is how you deal with those mistakes. You will let your mistakes bother you. Instead, see them as an opportunity for growth and you'll be stronger.

Recognize your mistake and move on. You don't need to dwell on it. Instead, you should focus on the next step. Keep moving forward.

Don't obsess over your mistakes. Instead, try to find ways to improve. Learn from your failures and make improvements for tomorrow.

Successful Inventions Made from Accident

Inventors make mistakes. However, the way we react to those errors will determine whether our inventions turn out to be great successes or failures.

The fact is there are no accidents when it comes to invention. Every single invention was made intentionally. There is no such thing as an accidental invention.

A deliberate act of invention is called an invention. A deliberate decision to create something new. Something that solves an issue. A solution that improves the quality of life.

But the key to a successful invention is understanding that nothing happens accidentally. Instead of trying avoidable mistakes, learn from them.

As much as we would love to say that invention is easy, it isn't. Invention takes persistence and hard work. It's not a quick fix. It takes patience.

You will need to spend a lot time thinking about ideas and problems. What is it that people are most concerned about? What do they require?

Ask yourself these questions. These questions will help you decide what type of product or service to develop next.

To achieve this, it is important to forget about any preconceived ideas. You should not make assumptions about the world's needs or wants. You need to pay attention to the needs of your potential customers and customers.

They must learn what they are looking for. You must learn what they really want.

Once you have identified what they want, the next step is to design a way that you can give it to them. This is where invention starts.


Can learning about history stop us from repeating past mistakes?

History repeats itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes repeatedly. We make mistakes and fail to learn. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.

The same old stories are what repeat history. We are conditioned to believe in immutable truths and immutable rules. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.

This keeps us from being able to think critically. It prevents us from questioning authority. Challenge assumptions. If we don’t ask questions, we don’t grow. We stagnate if we don’t move forward. When we stagnate we make the same mistakes again and again.

However, history does not repeat itself because we keep making the same mistakes. We don't learn from our mistakes, and we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.

By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. There is no set in stone. Everything is in constant flux.

Accepting uncertainty is the key to breaking this cycle. Accepting the possibility of things going wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accept that failure is possible.

Accept that you may not achieve your goals. Accept that you may not achieve your goals. However, it is important to keep working towards improving.

Holding on to the past will keep you stuck. If you believe there are only certain truths, it will be impossible to move forward.

If you want freedom, you have to let go. If you want to progress, you have to give up control.

How To

What can humanity learn about the past failures of our ancestors and how can they be improved?

We've been here before. However, there is nothing wrong with learning from past mistakes. It could even help humanity get through another crisis.

If we keep an open mind and look for lessons to guide us forward, we may make it out alive.

We fail to learn from our mistakes and ignore the fact that human nature hasn’t changed much in the past. This is the problem.

There's a lot of wisdom in the old ways, but we tend to ignore them because they conflict with our beliefs. Instead of accepting changes that we find difficult, instead we hold on to what is familiar.

But the world keeps changing, and the way we live together constantly evolves. Our environment is becoming more complex, and we face more problems to solve.

This means that we must also change. This makes us more susceptible to failure, as we won't have the same strategies that worked previously.

If we do this, we lose sight and succumb to our habits.

Our brains evolved to adapt to conditions that existed thousands of years ago. Those days aren’t gone forever.

The future is not set in stone. There are still many areas for improvement.

Humans still have the ability to accomplish amazing feats. Amazing technologies are possible. To discover new frontiers, and explore unexplored territory.

And yet, we often choose to limit ourselves. To fear change. To reject evolution. To believe that the same thing that worked yesterday will work tomorrow.

Some people are trying to reverse this trend. They see themselves to be warriors against this status quo. Fighting against the establishment. Against the system.

They consider themselves rebels and take pride in challenging convention. Who challenge the norms and conventions of society.

They resist rules and regulations. They are against conformity. They don't care about social expectations. They think they know better than everyone else.

To them, I say "Good Luck!"

You will need it!

Because it's a tough battle. The forces that drive mainstream society's success are powerful.

There are many places on the planet where the majority is not interested in you speaking. There is little interest in your point-of-view.

It doesn't matter if you're brilliant or well-intentioned. Your ideas might not be accepted by the majority.

Your message may not be heard. This is why you will need to learn from history.

Because that's where the real power is. This is the place where you can really make a change.

This is where you can inspire others to follow their dreams. You can help transform communities by building movements.

So let me ask you something. Are you willing to live up to the expectations of others? Would you prefer to choose your own path?
