[QUOTE="KSW, post: 4621739, member: 8708"]There would be a certain amount of hooky stuff at our car boot sales as they provide an easy outlet for stolen goods. Occasionally there is a Bobby patrolling or Trading Standards if someone has given them the heads up that counterfeit goods are being sold. The majority are people selling off their unwanted Christmas gifts, some house clearance and some new stuff, overstocks etc. Some of the boot sales are fabulous, fields of people selling stuff that they have no clue about, some are a waste of boot leather. You have to get there early or all the good stuff is gone and be prepared to dig into boxes of grot to find the treasures. Everyone gets a folding table out or puts it all in the floor on a sheet and Bobs your Uncle. I think you have to be a certain personality type to enjoy a boot sale. I love them, my OH loathes them and stomps around muttering about skips (USA dumpsters)and how much he hates people :rolleyes: You should come and visit the UK, [USER=29]@Ownedbybear[/USER] and I can point you in the direction of some good ones :-)[/QUOTE]
