Today’s email! History discovered at CARBOOTSCORNWALL in TRURO!!
Dear Geoff & Louise, Earlier this year we visited one of your Car Boot sales and found someone selling boxes of old music books and as both my husband and myself are music teachers this would be a useful find for us and our students, there were several boxes and we bought the lot for £50.00 which we considered a BARGAIN! On closer examination of the contents we found two fascinating sets of magazines. One was the 'Consent' from the early 1920s to the 1980s and the other was the buletin of the Hazlemere Foundation for the same period. Since…Thanks but NO THANKS!
We are often getting told 'you should get a boot sale here or there' but not many come to fruition because of poor locations or distances away from housing or people. Over the weekend we were advised to go to Geevor Tin Mine near Pendeen which on looking at GOOGLE Earth is far away from the madding crowds so that one was a NO! Next we were told you must go to St EWE I asked several people on Sunday but no-one knew where it was, the field and village hall were not seen on Google Earth and the location…SATURDAYS New start times for 2013 TRURO at 9.00 am and WADEBRIDGE at 3.00 pm
We have decided to change the times at TRURO to 9.00am and WADEBRIDGE and the NEW start time will be 3.00 pm in 2013 which is fairer for the sellers and buyers who will now have a continueous day and hopefully save on time and fuel costs at TRURO also will start at 9.00 am in 2013 so this is how it goes; TRURO STARTS at 9.00 am Sellers from 7.30 am MITCHELL STARTS at 1.00 pm Sellers from 10.00 am WADEBRIDGE STARTS at 3.00 pm Sellers from 1.00pm I have discussed this with several buyers and sellers who all…“Oh NO, I don’t sell on eBay” “Oh yes you do”!!
You will remember my previous story about the complaint of a lady buyer who bought a 'Teddy Bear' saying "my daughter will love this" to the seller and within hours it was advertised as a member of the family on eBay. I offered £3.00 off vouchers for you lot of buyers to identify the lady in question and I was amazed that it was 4 MEN who claimed the vouchers! This woman is seriously getting on their nerves (tits) but to tell you the truth the MEN were bitchier than all of you lovely lady buyers who stand by like…FRIDAY at Falmouth 12th October (2 pictures)
Only 17 sellers but the locals and regular buyers supported the few. Stall were charged a fiver and buyers were free. During a coffee break I was sitting in the car with Lou when I noticed 2 men walking back to their car parked near the clubhouse. One of them picked something up from the ground which I thought looked like a purse and I said to Lou 'I cannot be certain but I think that man might have picked a purse up' I decided not to say anything to the man but as a precaution Lou got out of…This sodding weather!!
Its now 55 Car Boot Sales been CANCELLED due to the weather but there is sod-all we can do about it apart from 'keep looking' for a winter hard standing location. The grounds are so waterlogged with rains that it would be unsafe for our customers to use therefore over this weekend we lose MITCHELL & MABE and the only Car Boot Sale on Sunday is at TRURO at 1.30 pm If you come to TRURO take a look at the field on the right which held its October Farm Machinery Sale yesterday with hundreds of bargains and well supported…BARGAIN kids clothing at MABE!
This is a picture of Zaffi and her brother Phin. They love coming to MABE on Sundays and always get a treat whilst mum looks for 'bargains' Zaffi's Mum was so proud of her daughters outfit including the boots which cost a total of the BARGAIN price of £1.70 for quality clothing at jumble sale prices! Have you bought any kids clothing for BARGAIN prices? Let us know with a picture please. Geoff XBIGGEST ever CANNABIS plant bought at a Car Boot Sale-Sadly not one of ours!

The couple, who live in Bedford, had planted the drug in their garden. Police officers were astounded when they spotted the plant. They have collected it and a spokesperson said it would be disposed of. The couple will face no action from the police. The officers took to their @bedfordlpt…SO WHO RATTLED YOUR CAGE!!
In today's mail! The following message has been sent via the website: Name: TOMMY NEWTON Email: [email protected] Subject: CAR TAX Message: ROAD FUND LICENCE ON VEHICLES IS A MATTER FOR THE POLICE. YOU ARE A PRIVATE CITIZEN, SO THEREFOR IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU IF A CAR IS TAXED OR NOT. AND AS CARS AT THE BOOT SALES ARE ON PRIVATE LAND, ROAD TAX IS NOT REQUIRED ANYWAY.
