No Car Boot Sale on Saturday due to the FARM MACHINERY SALE and No Royal Cornwall Showgrounds end of Season.
MITCHELL is on at 1.00pm and could be good for buyers and sellers subject to the BBC ruining our business with their wrong weather forecasts!
We dont take any notice and would only cancel as a last resort.
We recently let a FREE Car Boot Sale go ahead with only 12 sellers……its our job!!
Several years ago I cancelled a Car Boot Sale at Falmouth and went home. Unaware of the cancellation a seller arrived late set up her stall and took £120.00
Lots of possibilities over next few days for some good winter dates to be agreed…….

Without being rude to the wonderful tourists who have supported our business this year it is nice that we can drive around easier and the local community comes together and the STUDENTS are back.
When we ran Dig & Delve we used to buy and sell from the students and over many years they became part of our lives. They have always supported the Falmouth Car Boot Sale and 20 odd years later we are still proud to welcome them back! I will get some pictures!
By the way I put a couple of pictures on with NICE LEGS according to some of our customers. I believe the young lady is a student.
I am taking more pictures of some of the regulars who attend our Car Boot Sales. The gallery is popular and you can print your own copies if you see yourselves or friends!
I am sorry about the delay on some of the stories on this year we have had a busy season!
Wait!!
CLUE! I will start with Mr Angry!! WARNING this story will infuriate you!! WEDNESDAY!

I have asked for some WINTER dates on Wednesdays for indoor Car Boot Sales at the Royal Cornwall Showground.

We considered Kingsley Village but decided The Royal at Wadebridge is a better location.
I need you opinions please!

Its a huge Exhibition Hall if you have the BARGAINS you will sell them!!

Start talking please how many weeks would you support!

Sunday was a great success after we decided to transfer the Car Boot Sale from MABE to TRURO The decision was made at 6.00am and I put the details on our website and PIRATE FM did some announcements about the change due to the water-logged fields at MABE My phone 078 078 078 88 received 197 calls to enquire and in all we managed to get over 1100 people to turn up to the event. Two years ago our friend Sarah told me she had a fantastic mobile number 078 078 078 88 and I offered her £100.00 Nope! said Sarah make it £200.00!! so we did a deal! The phone has been the greatest asset to our business many people knowing our mobile number but not their OWN! Thanks Sarah X

Dave to his friends (both of them) has just returned from a mystery 7 days away to see his family and friends. He was seriously missed by a lot of the regulars in fact Marge told him he was to tell people in future if he is going to be away again! You should have heard some of the rumours but the best one was that he had gone for an audition as a lap dancer!!
Imagine!

Today was the last Saturday Car Boot Sale at the RCS for this season however we have asked for some Wednesdays during the Winter months (indoors) and we will reach agreement for a Christmas Event dates…………more to follow on this………….
We like the Royal the management team are superb and the most polite customers spend well, the grounds are in immaculate condition and the Loo facitities second to none!

Withiel Car Boot Sale has been cancelled with immediate effect.
Two Sundays ago the sale was moved to another field nearer to the A30 causing traffic problems involving the Police. It was decided that in the interest of public safety the Car Boot would be cancelled but plans are for the popular Car Boot to continue next year!
Welcome WITHIEL customers who came to us at MABE on Sunday at 1.30 pm

Where is “Got any jewellery Luv” Dave to his friends He was not seen over the weekend and rumours are rife.
I had a complaint against him by a seller and I replied ‘Dont be fooled Luv he is an under-cover Social Security inspector trying to catch the people who are claiming benefits’
The seller went back to their stall car and was the first to leave?
He is a bit different but the adds to the different Cornwall characters we meet daily! Whatever he is an honest man the fellow dealers like him and like all of us he is “Only trying to make a living Luv”

How about this!
A lady seller went to another stall and left her purse which was later handed into us at our Royal Cornwall Showground Car Boot Sale by a very honest Mr A. Stewart.
Not a word over the weekend but a distressed ansaphone message on Monday morning claimed the lost purse with £70.00 and credit card etc.
The delighted lady comes to the Car Boots at the Royal all the way from Devon for the 2 hour sale and was stunned by the honesty of our customers!
We are a decent honest bunch us Car Boot lot we are the Community at peace with itself enjoying the Car Boot Sales special atmosphere of friendship and looking for the odd bargain or making a few pounds recycling your unwanted items!
Over 310,000 visits to our Car Boot Sales in one year!

We get some lovey people at ou sales but we also get some real “Boring old Farts” who really piss me off!
Old FART 1. MABE SUNDAY….This man about 70 years old came up to me and said “If you want to make this better you should ban all the prams and push chairs”
I said “I bet you were a right little BRAT when you were a kid”
Then he accused me of being rude, if I had said what was on my mind………..just two words and the second one is OFF!!
