My table mats are plain white, to compliment everything else on the dinner table. You, no doubt, use the previous day's 'Sun' newspaper or, maybe if it's a Sunday, the last issue of 'Hello' magazine.

I rate my aesthetic taste more highly than your's.
It's a good painting.
The proportions of the Market Hall are correct, and the use of watercolour captures our wet, heavy, Lancashire skies very well.
I've worked on paintings, based on sketches done years earlier. Some right back into childhood.
Though sadly I haven't got any going far enough in time, in which you had hair.
I presume the plain white table mats were a present from the asylum?
