Dishonesty and honesty rules the day shamefully at MITCHELL!
Within an hour of the very busy Car Boot Sale a very distressed lady Jennifer arrived at the CBC car to say she had lost her purse with all her credit cards and cash, to calm her down I told her that it will probably be handed in and to contact me after the Car Boot to see if honesty had reigned at Mitchell. Whatever the outcome the lady was admittedly careless in the first place so I was delighted when 20 minutes later a lady brought the lost purse to me which she had found in one of the…There’s gold in them there Car Boots!
On Saturday at Mitchell it was a foregone conclusion that we would be busy as potential sellers had taken note of the bad weather forecast for the Sunday so decided to sell Saturday with over 200 stall holders. Yesterday was different there were a lot of sellers we have never seen before (virgin Booters) and there were some astounding bargains once the sale had started. I get really pleased when buyers show me some of their purchases and over the years I have seen stunning bargains. This week was no exception one lady showed me the most beautiful pair of…Got any jewellery love?
Several years ago a man joined our Car Boot Community becoming popular or unpopular with his catch phrase “Got any jewellery love” where he would go around the stalls asking sellers the same question all the time which caused several complaints about the man’s attitude with some of the complainants asking that the man ‘should be barred’ my attitude was that this man was trying to earn a living he seemed to get on reasonably well with other dealers so I will not bar him on the whim of a couple of complainants however I did find it necessary to…Bertha affects all Car Boot Sales but MABE went ahead only just!
The forecast was much worse than the real thing but lots of sellers chickened out missing a GREAT opportunity to sell and make some real money! Only 35 sellers braved the weather and as a gesture of goodwill to our buyers they were given FREE admission to the sale. We apologise, no I apologise for the slight delay to start the sale caused by my having to wake up one of the sellers. Posh Anne arrived set up her stall and promptly fell asleep in her car, so I helped myself to some of her stock and thought 'here is…Boardmasters a huge dissapointment and a shame it had to be cancelled!
I was seriously disappointed for all of the fans who had booked for BOARDMASTERS which had to be cancelled because of Bertha and it certainly affected all of the teams that work with us so they had all got tickets for the last day. However they cannot say I did not warn them in particular to Alice and all her friends, I said don't be too disappointed to her last week that BERTHA would cause trouble and like the good old know-all I am I was right Alice dearest! Anyway she has taken it all in her stride and will…Lets go shopping
Lou and I seldom go into the main shopping area at Truro but two weeks ago I said I wanted to get a pair of decking shoes like Alice and her brothers wear and they are apparently really comfortable. Lou say’s and I want a couple of bra’s so let’s go for it. I/we go into Marks Lou looks around at the displays of bra’s and pants/knickers/gutkers/briefs and I go straight up the escalator try on the right pair of shoes pays my twenty six quid come downstairs and Lou is nowhere around so I assume she is in the…FAKE £50.00 notes:
If you are lucky enough to own any £50.00 notes then make sure you don't get caught of the latest batch of FAKE FIFTY POUND notes.... The serial number is SR07 996432 so tell your friends to be aware and if you have just arrived from up country on holiday check your notes and if they match this number it is illegal to exchange dud and fake notes so try to give them back to whoever gave them to you, in short you are probably going to be out of pocket by at least fifty quid. I don't like giving…Do you remember this 50 p picture story?
Golden Balls strikes again! Posted: 15/07/2014 Hi Jeff, golden balls here,just letting you know about a find I had recently had at mabe one of your best carboots especially after queuing at Hayle in the morning at watching all the dealers inside buying before time ,it's nice to see it done right at mabe,anyway I found this ugly oil on board paid 50p took it home done the usual checking on ebay and the Internet and found out that peter brook is very collectable with price from £500 to £15000 . So I took the oil to David lays who…I did not deserve this threat!!
Today at Falmouth 50 plus sellers enjoyed decent weather as they set up their stall for the 12.30 pm start time. I noticed a man looking around the stalls and I asked "have you a stall here if not you should be in that queue until the sale starts" he says no then continues to look around the stalls to which point I asked him "which Q are you going in" I was then told "look, shut your fucking face or I will smash you to the ground" overheard by several sellers who later complained to me about the man's…Who are you?
Readers will remember several years ago some local radio bloke announcerette from the BBC thought he was on an absolute winner by poking his nose into something that was none of his business in the first place. He arrived at a very busy Mitchell Car Boot Sale and noted a dog in a car that according to him was stressed out and what was I going to do about it? The man Lawrence Reed, Lorry to his mates apparently does some chat crap talk show on local BBC radio show and he loves to hear his own voice so much…Page 44 of 109
