00:00 My name's Faith and I'm the owner of Annie Dews in Hillsborough.

00:03 We've been here for around just over two and a half years now.

00:06 We're here on Middlewood Road right near Hillsborough Park tram stop

00:09 and just near the entrance to the park.

00:11 So we're getting very excited for tram lines, trying to get all our stock in

00:15 and trying to make sure we've got lots of lovely things that people will want to buy.

00:19 We've got some lovely kimonos, loads and loads of different jewellery and accessories.

00:23 Some bucket hats are sort of like a must.

00:26 The last couple of years aren't they, they've come back around.

00:29 Lots of t-shirts and things like that.

00:30 So we're getting all those products, everything handmade by small businesses.

00:34 So there'll be loads of stuff for people to buy.

00:37 And yeah, it's just an exciting time to be here in Hillsborough.

00:40 Amazing, are you excited to have your own stand inside as well?

00:43 Yeah, so it'll be the second year that we're inside Little Hillsborough,

00:46 which we're super excited about.

00:48 Really pleased that we got accepted to have a stall there again.

00:51 It was absolutely great last year, even despite the rain.

00:53 So we're really looking forward to doing it again this year.

00:56 They take the money, but they don't do anything for anybody else.

01:01 We have to go across the top with the dog because there's nowhere to go.

01:08 And this is a flat, the only flat thing in Hillsborough.

01:12 So the only thing we've got is to go up to the common.

01:14 And that's not fair on people who aren't quite elderly, but want to take the dogs.

01:20 And I just live over there and I could hear it and I thought, oh, what a load of rubbish.

01:25 And the one before that was a dizzy rascal or something like that.

01:29 He said, you have to stop playing at 10 o'clock and he shouted,

01:34 I'm dizzy rascal and I won't be here till I've finished.

01:39 You know what I mean?

01:40 It's just, it's just, I don't know.

01:43 They don't take into account people who have to live here

01:46 and use the park for things like taking the dog out and putting the kids in here.

01:51 And then they put the boards up.

01:53 The kids are playing in the dock.

01:55 It's just, it is, it's horrible.

01:59 And in terms of tramlines, does it affect you at all when you guys are down here?

02:02 You always just get to hear the music when they're practicing.

02:05 You know what I mean?

02:05 It's like a concert.

02:07 It's like a concert before they start going.

02:09 But yeah, it doesn't affect us.

02:11 Yeah, no.

02:11 See, I'm biased. I like tramlines.

02:15 That's a bias too.

02:15 Is it nice to get everyone in?

02:18 I, yeah, I mean, I run a business just up the road and it doesn't,

02:22 it doesn't affect us as a business.

02:23 Yeah, I like it.

02:25 I've got a nail salon just up the road.
