Roman Road Market

I am a road market scientist.

And if Roman Road Market is the function [F] and the commodity cost is x then:

F'(x) = the limit as the cost of things at the market [h] approaches zero, times (x + h) minus the function of x, divided by h.

Which, when you've worked out the proof, will become:

F'(x) = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x) = A-OK more

A good place if you want some cheap clothes which are supposedly from 'big' names (hmm, a likely story!!)

Wait just one hot second here... I'm no road market scientist, but it only takes a simple equation to figure out that Roman Road has all of the components to be 3-star worthy:

Cheap, trendy clothing + jewellery shops and stalls + lotsandlotsachippies = a-ok.

Knock-off shop. Bling out. Dine in.

If you can get behind this motto, Roman Road will be a-ok for you too. A bit depressing at... more
