Rhineland-Palatinate to prohibit Sunday fleamarkets

Hi guys,

the administrative court of my neighbouring federal country Rhineland-Palatinate has forbidden Sunday fleamarkets. :( :( :(

I sincerely pray that this decision won't have an impact on other federal country, e.g. mine which would be a total nightmare for any smurfer, who would seek the thrill of hunting smurfs for bargain prices. :( :( :(

I didn't read the whole thing, but I don't think it will stand, Dom.

If they don't allow fleamarkets because it disrupts the Sunday peace what about other events, like Volksfeste, fairs....Will they be closed on Sundays as well?

I think this is another example of a court trying to be important and making headlines and a higher court will override the decision.

This is the sort of nonsense that really gets my goat up :angry: :angry: :x :x :banghead: :banghead:

If they want to ban something then they should ban church bells as they are REALLY annoying on Sundays!!!!!
