FAKE OFF FFS Fakers!
Mitchell today all calm and then…… As we approach the end of season there is no reason for us to make decisions to close any of our Car Boot Sales whilst we are having such good weather. Today’s weather was ideal a bit chilly so that will keep the holidaymakers off the beach and the sale was well supported by eager buyers. A boy of 8 lost his mum and dad, he was so distressed he kept giving us the wrong information, eventually we found out his parents were selling so he was eagerly reunited with father who refused to…A most offensive accusation!
To: [email protected] [email protected] Dear Sir My family and I sold at your car boot sale last Saturday at Mitchell for the first time. We were impressed by the facilities and the nicely cut grass. We also had a fair amount of interest in our clothes etc. However at the end of the day I had a disappointing experience which I am not complaining about but thought it might be helpful to pass this scam on to you to share with other innocent people. I sold a mint pair of boots priced at £5 to a woman who surprisingly didn't barter…What a PALAVA at Java Palava…MORE DOG TROUBLES!! Should we BAN DOGS?
Saturday at Mitchell Most customers know of Java Palava who specialize on serving delicious coffee to our customers and their regular appearances at Mitchell and Newquay are certainly a hit with many regulars. Shortly after the start at Mitchell a very irate man came to report the lady at the Java Palava stall for being very rude to him. It seems JP were busy with serving customers with some taking a sit down break to enjoy their coffee when this man walked up to the stall with a large bag of dog shit and dumped it into the JP bin…Saturday at Mitchell 3000 plus people 1000 cars and this idiot and his wife!

It has been a fantastic season from early June when a complete team change took place. What a delight to work in such a happy atmosphere with very positive young people who are mainly going back to College University or 6th form in the next few days. We hope to see you next year. (well at least some of you) Good luck with your studies. Many thanks to you all sincerely, Geoff & Louise XX 16 pictures click on each picture;Gossip over the years…..
Before coming to live in Cornwall I was the Operations General Manager at Pontins in Somerset Burnham on Sea it was a very quiet respected area and at the end of the summer holidays Burnham would quietly return to the peace and quiet of a retirement resort with lovely coastal surroundings. In the years I knew Burnham I never heard of any aggro whatsoever so I was totally gobsmacked when my mate Paul who runs Taunton Car Boots told me of an incident that got completely out of control involving the Police. A man buys a music system at the…Here comes your nervous breakdown…..
Have you ever had a nervous breakdown? So where do we start with a nervous breakdown or is it all in the mind? Several years ago before we got involved with Car Boot Sales we ran the famous Dig & Delve in Swanpool Street a second hand shop which when we opened locals traders gave us no more than three months before we would close down, the same shop is now in its 27th year but all the local voices of doom who predicted our trading demise are no longer in business so bloody there! Life was good in those…Correction; GOLDEN BALLS
Remember the man known as golden balls who bought an awful picture from MABE for 50p and it was sold by David Lay. I was wrong in my previous article as he actually got £640.00 for the painting. His lover showed me a gold bracelet she bought herself for under a pound, she cleaned it up and its value must be close to £100.00 What a BARGAIN!Sexy ice bucket challenge!
Thousands of people from all ages have over recent days taken part in the ice bucket challenge to raise monies for a CANCER charity. The idea is that you have to pour (or get a friend to) a bucket of freezing iced water over yourself from head to toe. Alice has done it but my Lou refuses. Challenge on my darling wife, beware be warned. Anyway how about getting grandma to do it, that should see her off! I nominate Marge, Posh Anne, Rita, Phyllis, Gladice, Gae, Dj, Wendy, Gloria! Go for it ladies pictures please! Be patient there is…The weather ruined Sunday Car Boot Sales!
MABE was down to 34 sellers today but didn't the buyers support them well because some of the customers took very good money one reportedly took over £350.00 One stall had gone to a lot of trouble to prepare and bake enough homemade cakes and biscuits to feed all the other sellers, although our rules say NO FOOD I didn't have the balls to tell the lady to 'go home' so I bought a few biscuits and allowed her to trade just for the one week, however if the lady gets in touch with me I am prepared to consider…Page 43 of 109
