In 2012 Car Boots Cornwall were invited to look into the possibilities of running Car Boot Sales at the Aircraft Museum which is situated on the same main ‘B’ road as the Newquay Airport. Had we of been interested we could perhaps have held the Car Boots inside one of the hangers. However Lou and I visited the location (on Museum open day-only 6 cars in the car park) and we decided most definitely that we would not be interested at all. Our chances of achieving a realistic business both for ourselves and potential sellers would not make business sense at all therefore we declined the invitation.

I was therefore surprised last week when a lady forcefully demanded (whilst I was standing in the pissing rain at Par) that I review our decision and that we should go to this Aircraft Museum and start ‘doing Car Boot Sales there straight away’ which idea completely lacks common sense.

I would remind all readers that right on the doorstep in Newquay we had TWO failed Car Boot Sales which the lady in question was involved with that closed down due to the lack of success, they were of course Tretherras School and Porth Caravan Park.

I have the greatest respect for all women with the exception of the odd one who do not ‘engage brain’ before making unrealistic demands to have a Car Boot Sale on every street corner!! It’s a bit like opening your mouth and letting the wind blowing your tongue aimlessly around, dear!!
