=== Shouting - Scunthorpe, UK, 2 Nov 2012 ===
{{quote|[...]market sellers in one town have been banned from any shouting, except on Saturday afternoons.

A greengrocer who fell foul of the new rules at Scunthorpe Market in North Lincolnshire has been brought before the county court and landed with a £1,000 legal bill.

Simon Stanley, 45, who became the first casualty of the regulations, has vowed to pack up his stall for good as a result.

His wife has been forced to run the business single-handedly after an injunction barred her husband from working in the market for three months until December 12 for what the council called "offensive and inappropriate behaviour".

Under the Traders’ Charter, the 70 traders can only shout out the price of their goods for four hours after 1pm on Saturdays.<ref>[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/9652780/Market-traders-banned-from-shouting-about-their-wares.html Market traders banned from shouting about their wares] - The Telegraph</ref>}}

{{quote2|You can 'call off' at Ashby and Brigg after 1pm provided you do not cause an obstruction or a nuisance to other stallholders. At Scunthorpe you can call off after 1pm on Saturday only.

To prevent annoyance to other traders we only allow "pitching" i.e. calling out wares or demonstrating their goods and 'auctions', in certain areas of our markets. Anyone wishing to do this must discuss their proposals with the markets Operations Manager and get written approval in advance.

You should not play music on your stall or have the radio on where shoppers can hear it. We may allow exceptions for demonstration purposes, but the Markets Operations Manager must agree it in advance.<ref>[[File:4281140265 MarketsCharter Layout1.pdf|Market Traders' charter]] - North Lincolnshire Council</ref>}}

		+
		+	A clinical nurse specialist diagnosed him with glioblastoma multiforme, a rare and aggressive form of brain tumour, and he was the only person on their trial that had that grade and type of tumour.
		+
		+	He was told that the growth was not hereditary and there was nothing that he had done to bring it on. They also said that studies had confirmed that mobile phones, microwaves, phone masts and dental work had nothing to do with the tumours.
		+
		+	Mr Reed was also surprised to discover that some patients on the clinical trial who had been diagnosed as having a Glioblastoma tumour were also musicians. He however, had the Glioblastoma Multiforme.
		+
		+	He was told they included an opera singer, a classical pianist and a jazz saxophonist.
		+
		+	Mr Reed, who has been playing the guitar for 30 years, said: 'My surgeon told me that my particular tumour was very rare and accounted for just four per cent of all tumours.
