And then came the rain!
TUESDAY! Crap day crap weather, I felt sorry for everyone today including myself, the bloody BBC cocked up their forecasts again with the local forecast saying something entirely different to the main channel forecast. Anyway at 11.00 onwards we had showers at Newquay and before the sale started lots of the sellers would not set up their stalls until I spoke with that man up there and suddenly the rains stopped and out came the SUN!
I blasted the HORN and for an hour and a half the sellers traded briskly then the dark skies started gathering above and it absolutely pissed down with everyone running to their cars as though King Kong was chasing to maul them to death, what is wrong with people its only water FFS but it was good fun sitting from the safety of my car to observe ‘the vacation’ of a Car Boot Sale. Sellers frantically piling everything back into their cars or just having a ‘sod it’ attitude ‘I will sit in the car and wait for the effing rain to stop’
One seller had her stock driven over by a lady driver which resulted in a row between the two, the seller was saying a whole box full of DVDs have been ruined. The driver looked terrified as I asked her to wait whilst I looked at the damaged stock, all I could find were two DVD boxes were smashed but the seller seemed pretty irate the matter so I gave her a FREE entry for her next visit and told the frightened driver “You can go now, no worries” and both ladies were content so went their separate ways and they were both drop dead lovely!
You should all take care not to drive over someone’s stock which happens almost every week its always the women drivers who are to blame 50% of the time. I know that some people are hopeless at displaying stock and to be fair they just ‘chuck it all out of the car’ and it lays there looking like a landfill site, but display sells my lovers!!
