I AGREE with claims about the floor in Blackburn market being slippery when wet, because I fell after slipping on a wet patch.

My shopping went flying and someone from a stall nearby came to help me get up.

Fortunately, I didn't break any bones, just a few bruises, but I was rather shaken up and I thought afterwards I should have reported it.
