I have been asked by Amelia to advertise this Brass Bands Concert at Roche for all those brass bands enthusiasts.
Enjoy!

Here is another email about dogs so in fairness to all the decision to ban dogs only affects MITCHELL which is the Landlords decision. However dogs must be on leads in all public areas.
I think if all of the sellers become dog wardens for the day it would we could reduce the problems. If you see any persons allowing their dogs to crap and the owner does not use a poo bag discreetly let one of our team know who the owner is please or make the owner ‘pick up the poo’!

NO you must not take the law into your own hands which reminds me that on Sunday (mothering Sunday) (what a waste of money) there were fewer buyers and sellers because Mumsies were being treated to Sunday lunches. How lovely for all concerned but there are those of us who cannot afford such luxuries.

One word of warning to the mum’s, if you were given an item for mothering Sunday and you don’t like it do not bring it to the Car Boot Sale to sell especially if the person who gave it to you is helping on the stall. It creates the best family rows I have ever witnessed, hilarious fun! But mother, I only bought that for you last week WTF and so it goes on. Roll on Easter……. Ps; To completely spoil the day person/s decided to steal items from a couple of stalls on Sunday! Watch your stall and your stocks please!

Marijuana bales tossed from car during Arizona police chase
1 hour ago

Police in Arizona have released dramatic dash-cam footage of a high speed chase in which bales of marijuana were tossed from the car being pursued.

The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office video shows large quantities of the incriminating drug being thrown on to the road, into the path of vehicles behind it.

Two men were subsequently arrested on suspicion of marijuana trafficking.

Police said they managed to recover 17 of the jettisoned bales, but were unable to retrieve the rest which were picked up by passing motorists.

Geoff Says;

Brilliant story,

I counted at least 30 packets and boxes so Joe public (passing motorists) did well, or are the Police telling little stars and stripes porky pies?
Years ago I witnessed the Police raiding a friends Cannabis Farm in St Kitts where they set fire to hundreds of the plants. I was sitting at a distance in my car up-wind (or was it down-wind) of the ‘smoke’ with all my windows open and the smell was incredible! The Police were so overcome by the fumes and ‘smoke’ they forgot WTF they were there for so took the rest of the plants back to the Police Station(home)leaving a burning field of ruined herb Cannabis for my mate Chalawa. Within 12 weeks a new crop was born! Hah!!

The picture is of Chalawa a great man, father of 14 who spends his life in the bush growing the best cannabis herb in the Caribbean, the hardest man I have ever known but man does he ‘live de life’ or what! The tarpaulin above his head is laden and bulging with drying plants, what a life! The only real problem he has is the Vervet monkeys who strim the plants for the seeds, they get totally stoned from licking their hands but sit at a safe distance away in trees screeching their frigging heads off taking the piss out of Chalawa and his sons efforts to get rid of the little barsts!

Lou and I visited his plantation a few times as the ‘only white people’ ever to visit or be invited. The aroma of the plants is divine and with the Caribbean sun belting down on you it take minutes to totally relax and have a couldn’t GAF attitude forget your problems relax so why not sit down on the ground and take in the bliss and peace and quiet of the moment and that’s before you have a SPLIFF!!

LEGALISE CANNABIS then you smokers can make your own mind up whether to continue to smoke cigarettes containing killer tobacco and nicotine or have the odd legal spliff grown in your own gardens! I have known so many hundreds of people over the years with severe pains and disabilities that I would have loved to have said to them “Try a couple of smokes which will make you relax, your pains will become less and you will not have to keep taking take all these drugs and pain killers. But you must get exercise”
I speak from experience:

Hi Geoff and Lou,

I was just browsing your site to see if any dates had been set for the new car boot season and came across the extremely abusive email from someone complaining about the banning of dogs and being exceptionally rude about your staff.
We come down to our caravan in Cornwall about 5 times throughout the car boot season and have always found yourself, Lou and all the staff to be extremely courteous and helpful.

We have been to numerous car boots in other parts of the country and yours, without a doubt, are the best run ones we have visited. I’m quite sure that there are lots of attractions and some of the beaches too where dogs are not allowed and feel it is up to the responsible dog owner to arrange the needs of their dog without expecting you and your staff to do it.
They had obviously not bothered to even look at the reason given for the ban at Mitchell before they began their ridiculous rant. It did however give our family a laugh at the sheer stupidity of the comments!!
Anyway, we hope that fields permitting we will be able to visit some of the car boots from Easter onwards. Keep up the good work.

Best wishes,

Liz and family

Sorry if we go off the air for a few hours we are updating our website to include a FORUM where you can buy and sell and advertise for FREE and add all your comments post your pictures or selfies, the lot! Strictly adults-ish

Take a look at this picture, I am considering allowing cats to the Car Boot Sales to help with the problem of people smuggling unwanted dogs to our sales. I love cats but Lou does not like cats so will not allow me one. Nana Moon would go absolutely ape-shit if a cat were to come into this place.

Dear Sis, we will be attending Newquay car boot week on Tuesday. We have a land rover and small trailer.

What time is it best to arrive at?

As we live local it is in order to nip back home to pick up some additional tables?

We have a well behaved great dane dog who normally goes everywhere with us and sits in back of car. Is it order for him to come on site?

Hello,
Please check on our website for start dates of our seasonal Car Boot Sales. Newquay is not open on Tuesday in fact the open date has not been agreed yet. Please check on start dates on the home page of our website.
If you have a ‘well behaved great Dane’ is it fair to expect it to sit inside a car for up to 3 hours? Certainly dogs are barred from the new Mitchell from the start of the season.
If you have a Land Rover and a trailer you could be charged extra to collect additional items.

You are invited to the Carn Brea Leisure
Centre, Pool, Redruth, TR15 3QS on Friday
6th March at 7pm to the Cornwall Conference

The event is FREE ADMISSION, the doors will
Open at 6pm, we recommend early arrival.

Today at Truro so many of our customers spoke about the situation regarding dogs at Car Boot Sales the majority (unfortunately for the owners of dogs) the majority say dogs should all be banned for Car Boots like they are in the town centre shops! So here in the email that started it all off;

Dear Cornwall Car boots,

I am very upset, like I’m sure every dog owner will be, that you have decided to ban dogs at your car boot grounds. Will Newquay also be included??? I have always been a dog owner and I have never failed to pick up my dogs poo. Yes some people do not pick their dog poo up and that therefore spoils it for anyone else. But surely you are a business. It is your responsibility to see the straight forward running of your car boots. If you can’t then you surely shouldn’t be running car boots. Shouldn’t your staff be out and about on your fields enforcing the pick up your poo policy??? And shouldn’t your staff be out and about the fields ensuring that poo is picked up from those who have got through the nets and, the fields are kept clean and poo free for visitors. What stops your staff from having a poo scoop and a bag and ensuring your fields are kept clean. Why should visitors that abide by the law by picking up their dogs poo be discriminated and victimised against because others don’t. I have often seen your staff sitting in the van. Buying items off stores. Doing nothing when they should be doing their jobs. Why can’t you put up signs telling dog owners to pick up their dogs poo. I’ve never seen any!! If they don’t and are seen then ban them from your car boots. This consequence should also be clearly signed around your car boot. Also I would like to point out there are no bins for dog poo around any of your car boot sites. I always take mine back to the car. If you even try to put dog poo bags in the catering bins you get cussed. Why can’t you have proper dog poo bins at your car boots??? No dog poo bins/no dog poo in catering bins. How are dog owners meant to pick up their dog poo when your car boots don’t provide the proper bins to dispose of it? Like I said I take my dogs poo back to the car but it stinks my car out afterwards! Why can’t 1 or 2 poo bags be given out at the gate to dog owners as part of your pick up your poo scheme. They cost £1 for 50 in the pound shop. You are a business and you are making a lot of money from us sellers and buyers. A couple of pound is nothing to ensure your business is taking responsibility for the smooth running of your car boots. To ensure that all your visitors are kept happy and not just the ones without dogs.

I have been coming to your car boots for years. Friends and family also come to your car boots i.e. Newquay, Mitchell, Truro etc. We all own dogs and we have all come both as sellers and buyers with our dogs. Even my family that come to Newquay from up north on holiday bring their dogs and come to your car boot sales. To all dog owners they mean the world to us and we don’t just leave them behind.

What’s going to happen to holiday makers that bring their dogs?? Have they got to leave their dogs in a tent or caravan while they come to your car boot?? I don’t think the holiday camps will be very happy or even allow this in case of damage! No dog, no carboot.

What’s going to happen if someone brings their dog to your car boot and is refused entry??? Leave the dog in the car to die from over heating!! Whose fault will that be?? You may say the owner but, I don’t think the owner will see it that way when seeking legal advice!

I would also like to ask will this ban include Guide Dogs? Because I hate to inform you; all dogs poo!! And I can’t see a disabled lady or man being able to bend down and pick up their dogs poo. Yet they are dependent on their dog. No dog. No Car boot.

Also what about young mothers who change their babies and then dump the nappy and nappy bag on the fields or in the bushes?? Because I have seen it. Will they be banned next??

I have seen a lot of dog owners come to your car boots. Some I know, some I don’t. Both your Buyers and Sellers bring their dogs to your car boots. I don’t think they will be happy about the new policy of no dogs. I have seen many a seller selling with their dogs. No dog. No car boot.

All my friends and family and people I know in and around Newquay are deeply upset regarding this decision your car boots are taking. It’s not that easy to just leave your dog at home. Some dogs destroy the house, some dogs cry and howl. Some dogs like mine have separation anxiety disorder and can’t be left. I have always seen Newquay has a dog friendly town but obviously this is changing.

Our dogs; mine, my friends, my family mean the world to us. They are family and they go everywhere with us. This I’m sure will be the same to all dog owners. No Dogs. No Car boot. I personally wouldn’t leave my dog full stop. And I wouldn’t pay 50p to come to any of your car boots without my dog. I’m sure I won’t be the only one complaining in the coming months when they realise your new no dog policy. I feel that this new no dogs policy is only an easy way of dealing with a problem. Ban dogs therefore staff have no extra work and Cornwall Car Boots don’t have to fork out any money i.e. dog poo bins, dog poo bags, signs, dog poo pick up equipment for staff, etc, to enforce the pick up your dogs poo policy. I’m not going to mention extra staff because if your staff even worked you wouldn’t need any extra (even their car parking management skills are shambolic both in the carpark and on the selling field i.e. Old Mitchell field was ridiculous. No organisation what so ever) By banning dogs it’s just an easy way out without spending money!! For me and my friends and family it’s easy. Without our dogs. You loose our business and the money we would have brought to your car boot. I’m sure other dog owners will feel the same and I’m sure you will see a fall in your numbers and money you make from your car boots over the summer.

Yours Sincerely

One very annoyed dog owner. Only 1 of many.

Madam,

I find your email of the 22nd February inexcusably rude towards Car Boots Cornwall and our teams of workers who supervise the Car Boots and I should point out that they are not required to work non-stop as you suggest. Most of them are highly intelligent school leavers or at College or University and worthy of a job that does not commit them as you would wish to ‘go around seeking and collecting irresponsible dog owners poo’ We do not need any advice as to how to treat our teams thank you and they are not lazy as you suggest likewise their work is not shambolic.

For the record I am a dog owner and my dog is an animal, not a human being. She has the facilities to use cat/dog flaps so she can excuse herself and do her poo in her own garden when it will be picked up by me a chucked over the fence into the neighbours garden which is not entirely true but it certainly matches the stupidity of some of your suggestions.

The reason is clear for the banning of dogs at the new MITCHELL location quite simply the LANDLORD (not CBC) who owns the land has said “NO DOGS” because it is farm land and he does not want dogs on the land. In the wider world outside of Cornwall up-country Car Boot Sales DOGS are BARRED from the grounds and grasslands at 90% of Car Boot locations.

Respectfully, most of the people who bring dogs to the Car Boot Sales bring them because the dogs are so poorly trained and exercised that left at home they would and do cause complaints from neighbours with constant yapping and barking. The main reason the dogs empty their bowels as soon as they get out of your cars is because the first piece of ground they see is my Car Boot sites so why not do the first CRAP of the day at the boot sale and offend hundreds of my customers into the bargain?

And it happens all the time as you admit to collecting your dog poo and taking it home (and why not-it belongs to you-you brought it in the dog) which certainly means your dog does not get exercised properly otherwise it would ‘do it’s business’ in your own garden before getting into your car.

You put this down to ‘separation anxiety’ I call it ‘lack of training’ I am no ‘dog whisperer’ but dogs that ‘cry and howl and annoy neighbours and destroy the house’ cannot do so if the are muzzled.

Your comments about babies dumping in nappies (where else would they dump) makes you as irresponsible as the mothers who you claim to have witnessed them dumping the dump full nappies, did you tell the mothers not to dump the dumping’s?

My priority is to run the Car Boot Sales for the Car Boot Community of Cornwall and for 26 years we have been very successful with as many as 15,000 men women and kids weekly enjoying the facilities, our sales are the best supported in Cornwall but dogs are not the priority you would wish. As for taking legal advice, I can imagine a solicitors reaction to “They wont let me take my dog into the Car Boot Sales” on a no win-no fee basis.

Your email is long boring and offensive to my management and my teams and to the genuine weekly complainants who are justifiably offended when poorly trained dogs are allowed to crap near their stalls or in their space, you are certainly helping me with a decision to join the up-country 90% in banning dogs permanently from our Car Boot Sales especially from the ‘selling fields’

Subject: FW: COMPLAINT REGARDING DOG BAN

Hello Mo & J,
Here is a letter that should put a smile on your face, see what you have started!
I find the email most offensive and it will feature in Geoff Says with my (no holds barred) reply the following day however Lou is most worried about the difficulty in banning dogs completely.

You two ok?
Geoff

And from our Landlords this email;
Hi Geoff….
Jay warned me about this one!!
Sorry to hear you’re are having complaints about the no dog’s policy. There will always be people who don’t like change!
We agree; the letter is offensive and derogative about your professional running of Car Boots Cornwall and staff.

The dog owner in question clearly believes the entire issue is about irresponsible dog litter and that responsible dog owners are being victimised and discriminated against because of this. This is definitely not the case!!!!

May I suggest that when you return the email you explain that the dog ban (with the exception of legitimate guide dogs of course) is not your choice but a request of the land owner?

The reason for this is because of the livestock which reside at the farm and respectfully for our neighbouring farmer’s livestock along with the wellbeing of the loved family dog too.

Just supposing an escape dog hops the hedge into the sheep field and the neighbouring farmer shoots it….which he has a legal right too, even if the dog is not worrying the livestock…..what then?!

You may also like to point out that the land owner has also had to make concessions. Alternative arrangements for the grazing facilities of the majority of the sheep which usually graze here have had to be made because the environment agency have stated no livestock are to graze the field being used for car boot 3 weeks prior to public use. (Out of interest Geoff what does the environment agency say about dogs in public spaces?)

We understand about Lou’s concern of the effects of a no dog policy however, Mitchell is not your only site with a no dog policy. We’re sure you both respect and hope that your car booters learn to accept that there are many good reasons for no dogs on the land.

All is good here thanks & we look forward to seeing you both before too long.

M & J
