DO NOT TRY TO SELL FAKE JEWELLERY at our Car Boot Sales and gossips!
All that glitters is not GOLD not SILVER! Last week we had some great weather so Tuesday and Thursday at Newquay Circus Fields were immensely successful with lots of holiday makers in HENDRA and all the other Holiday complexes. The buyers on both days really spent well carrying away all of Cornwall’s leftovers and probably destined to end up on some other up-country Car Boot Sale at twice or thrice the price. That’s how the money goes around and comes around. What a great atmosphere with so many kids, I am convinced caravan people go around the whole camp asking…Trading Standards and Louise emails;
From: Louise Sent: ‎Friday‎, ‎10‎ ‎April‎ ‎2015 ‎09‎:‎08 to: [email protected] Dear Sir May I ask for some guidance please in regard to cheap silver plated jewellery made by an unscrupulous Chinese firm calling themselves 925? This obviously bring lots of confusion as some purchasers believe they are buying silver. Geoff and I run the local car boot sales and am often asked to sort out disputes. To date if a seller is offering said cheap 925 as silver I have ensured purchasers get refunded and the jewellery is no longer offered for sale at any of our events. I also…Poo stories and gossip!
And now for something completely different, but I would warn readers that this is only for the hardened members of the our Car Boot Community to read on; Summary; You all know we have had ‘DOG WARS’ because one of our Landlords had said “as the surrounding farms to his equestrian centre were farming sheep and cattle there must be NO DOGS at the NEW MITCHELL’ location. I believe his polite request is absolutely fair and I ask all dog owners to support this ruling please. On the first Car Boot almost everyone had taken note of the Landlords ‘no…MITCHELLGATE part 4 Today’s email Part 5 later……..
Thank you for your texts and emails; Keep them coming; Subject: Thank you! From: [email protected] Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2015 20:09:48 +0100 To: [email protected] Dear Geoff and Lou, I've just read the three blogs about Mitchellgate which explained the confusion we experienced at today's car boot! I'm still shaking my head with disbelief at the way you have been treated by the Looney landlord at Mitchell and just wanted to let you know how much we value the business that you run and the way in which you run things. We arrived today to be waved into the old field…NEW Mitchell support and compliments, thank you!
Jill ([email protected]) 16:54 To: [email protected] Car Boot Sale, Mitchell, on Saturday 4th April 2015. I would like to congratulate Louise & Geoff who run Car Boot Sales Cornwall, on their amazing efforts this Saturday. It was a change of venue, extremely well set up and advertised. A great improvement on previous Boot Sales held at Mitchell. Although I can sympathise with dog owners, I was very pleased to see that No Dogs Were Allowed. Much as I love them myself, they can be a nuisance and in the past I have had several cock their legs on my table legs.…Mitchell Part 2
The SHAME of David Leggo the LANDLORD of MITCHELL!! Our regular customers over many years will remember about 12 years ago we used to have early morning Car Boot Sales at Truro which had been popular for over 20 years. Louise and I were asked if we would be interested in starting a new Car Boot Sale at MITCHELL. I discussed the idea with the Landlord of Mitchell David Leggo, he insisted that we did the Car Boot Sales on Saturdays at 1.30 pm which would clash with the early morning Truro success. I spoke with the Landlords at Truro…Mitchell Part 3
What this Landlord has done is Constructive Eviction!! Our humiliation and fury was complete all witnessed by many regulars who had heard “this is your last week” the whole incident went viral around the Car Boot Sales with us taking 30 phone calls as the gossip went around but wanting to know what is going to happen next season. We have worked hard at Mitchell building up the trust of multi thousands of buyers and sellers for our Car Boot Sales but there is no way in which we can allow this type of behaviour towards us and our business…MITCHELL! Part 1
There are so many of our regulars who are wanting to know the details of what is happening at MITCHELL this year and want to know the details of why we have moved to across the road to Trethvas Farm. For many years Louise and I have been distracted by the Landlord's efforts to disrupt the smooth running of our Car Boot Sales. His last effort was to shout "This is your last week" in front of many of our customers. Another good reason is that when we took over Mitchell there were three fields that would be available for…Brass Bands Concert
I have been asked by Amelia to advertise this Brass Bands Concert at Roche for all those brass bands enthusiasts. Enjoy!DOGS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED AT the new MITCHELL. Amen!
Here is another email about dogs so in fairness to all the decision to ban dogs only affects MITCHELL which is the Landlords decision. However dogs must be on leads in all public areas. I think if all of the sellers become dog wardens for the day it would we could reduce the problems. If you see any persons allowing their dogs to crap and the owner does not use a poo bag discreetly let one of our team know who the owner is please or make the owner 'pick up the poo'! NO you must not take the law…Page 38 of 109
