As if to add insult to injury, the irrepressibly counter-inventive Bypass Independents have managed to do away with one of the few genuinely worthwhile attractions to the town - the Continental Market.
The BBI's obsession with allowing noisy, empty coaches to herd shoppers aside whilst they meader through Strait Bargate several times an hour has created knock-on problems for anyone wishing to use the space near W H Smith's.
Apparently, the organisers of the continental market demurred when offered a choice between staging their event on the Green or in the Market Place (where they would most probably have been displaced by the traditional market anyway) and decided to ditch their visit to Boston entirely.
After last year's debacle, which saw a couple of stalls stranded and isolated in West Street, and which left les brave continentals looking extremely foolish through no fault of their own, they have wisely decided that discretion is the better part of valour.
Chalk up another victory up to the BBI - soon all they will need to do is build a wall around the town to isolate it completely from the rest of Lincolnshire.
