I have edited some of Jim’s reply because the points raised are negative and I certainly do not want to get into a slagging match about events of many years ago.
Suffice it to say I have never had a cross word with Jan and there has never been said a word of discontent about her in all the years by any of the sellers or buyers.
However I will respond in full to the comments about MABE, TRURO, CARN BREA & NEWQUAY

Geof,

I was told by a friend at Hayle this morning about your statement, on your web site, which I have just read, it really upset Jan & I with your comments, and felt I had to respond, and set the record straight.

Firstly I have never ever slagged you or Lou off, and regarding the so could gentlemen friend of yours who would have liked too have smacked me in the mouth, if he exsist, tell him that I’m not a cockney, and would gladly like him to try because he sounds a very brave man, and would suggest he is trying to get in your favour by telling made up tales, also for the record, I was not furious when you and I agreed to part company( as your previous statements on your website states, we parted in good faith), infact it did us a favour. Also regarding your rules about buying before the bell, on many occasions I would be walking around with you and Lou, and Lou and I bought items in the early days, or pointed out items to each other.

Regarding the alledged slagging off,the only time your name came up recently was a couple of weeks ago at Carn Brea, when several people ( NO NAMES) were discussing you and your boot sales, and they asked me if I knew about Truro being given planning permission for a Park and ride and Waitrose, and that the owner had sold the Fair ground land at Newquay for housing, regarding Mabe some one else told me earlier in the year that you had fell out with the owner. Of course your names have come up in conversations over the years, their is a lot of people who do not like you or Lou, people would often come to our stall , and tell us that some one else had been banned, because of this and that, or that you intended starting a new bootsale.
To finish Geof, I do not want a slagging match with you, but would suggest you look a bit closer to home regarding what people think and say about you and Lou.

Please include this on your site so people can hear both side of the story.

Regards

Jim
