Sorry!
I apologise for wiping out the story about the ridiculous situation two of our regular customers got themselves into through gambling on BINGO! From a happy carefree life to spending £200.00 a week on BINGO and their whole world falling apart when the wife had to confess to her husband all the debt she had fallen into. During my 20 year in the Bingo & Social Club business there were no happy stories about people winning fortunes but it was harmless fun to have a gamble meet some nice people and enjoy the social side of the clubs. The truth…
PRIMARK has arrived in Truro City! Yay!
1. For what seemed like an eternity to build its new SUPERSTORE in Truro “PRIMARK” has finally its doors opened to thousands upon thousands of eager buyers and onlookers who thronged through Truro last Thursday for its official opening. Car parks were full to bursting with people queuing up to ‘take their turn’ and eventually get into the PRIMARK store. Their staff very kindly gave all queuing customers bottles of Ice Cold water cos they had waited so long which wasn’t such a wonderful idea cos it was bloody freezing cold outside in the queues. Everyone but everyone was there!…Primark’s best customer?
My mate the very popular Ann was standing with my car at Truro with several other much older lady booters (old boots) (including Marge) and myself, we were having a good old natter about Primark. They thought the store was great and good for Truro but that some of its bargains were of iffy quality matching their cheap prices. Ann was posing on a bit pointing to her jacket saying very proudly to us all 'I bought this is from Primark' to which Geoff replies 'Yes, I can tell dear' she punched me on my newly injected 'going on holiday…Posted of HOME page 18/11/16

A rare Chinese vase, bought for £10 at a Hampshire car boot sale, has been sold for more than £60,000. The enamel "two quails" vase, is thought to have been made at Beijing's Imperial Palace at least 220 years ago. Auctioneers Woolley & Wallis said the owner only realised its true value after he put it on eBay. It had been estimated as being worth £20-30,000, but sold at auction in Salisbury for £61,000, including the buyer's premium. The seller, who did not wish to be identified, picked up the vase at a car boot sale near Lymington. Image copyright…£4.00 BARGAIN at Car Boot Sale sells for £9,500.00 Story from BBC 15/11/2016
A small ornament picked up at a car boot sale for £4 by a West Sussex pensioner has fetched £9,500 at auction. The six-inch statue turned out to be an 18th Century Sino-Tibetan sculpture of a Buddhist deity and his consort. Auctioneer John Nicholson thought it might fetch up to £700 as the Asian art market had recently "softened". Mr Nicholson described the eventual sale price of the "Buddha bonanza" as "exceptional". 'Close to tears' The gilt-bronze sculpture depicts the multi-armed Hayagriva, a Tantric Buddhist deity, and his consort. The woman, from Midhurst in West Sussex, who does not want…Posted HOME page 12/11/2016 Two must see pictures?
