I have been reading some of your comments about dogs. I think you and I are on the same wave length I actually don’t like dogs very much but after saying that I would be the first to report someone if they were ill treating there dog or in fact any pet. I just can’t stand people who treat them like human beings etc. It’s a dog for goodness sake, while good company for someone on their own they can be a bloody nuisance for others especially where the dogs mess is concerned. Nothing incenses me more than finding dog mess all over the place. As you can imagine I have a hot line to the dog warden. I just don’t understand people if you have a dog, pick up its mess, if you don’t want this then don’t have a dog. I personally don’t think a car boot sale is the place for dogs at all. At the car boot sale at Exeter race course they have banned all dogs. I think this is the way to go, but I’m sure there will be a few who dont agree, because “my little Henry is as good as gold”. I will be interested to hear what comments you receive.
Yours sincerely Annie B.

Geoff Says,

Why thank you Annie, I have also had phone calls from several miserable old gits known also as the MOGS that tell “you should ban bloody push-chairs they are a pain in the arse” so too are some of my customers. I cannot go saying to young Mums “Carry the Brat and its a pound for us to look after the push-chair” please so I would not agree to banning pushchairs however we also get complaints about disabled wheel chairs and one in particular which must be a least 3 foot wide. The times I get people say “You shouldn’t let that chair that down the aisles because it could be dangerous especially if it meets up with a couple of mum’s with wheelchairs” but the ones that really piss off my customers are the airy fairy nutters who wheel in a push chair a stupefied spoilt brat of an excuse for a freeking dog waiting for all the gullible people to stop to make a fuss of the dumb animal creating small crowds wherever they go and you look at them on the way out and they haven’t spent a bloody penny in the car boot. Fancy having to show an excuse for a dog around just to boost your ego.
Daft buggers!

On Saturday at a very busy Mitchell some person/s had tied their dog to the outside of the car, the dog slipped through the lead and caused loads of concern from a few busy bodies who drew my attention to the fact that some dog is running around allegedly distressed.

Well here we are again getting advice what to do from a load of moaners the “You should do more about it” brigade. I get another car where a dog is locked in with allegedly ‘no air’ in the car. Frankly I cannot concern myself with two dogs who are probably ‘having a great day’ causing people to ‘nib-in’ Idiots come from everywhere with crap from the ‘you should do’ brigade of know-alls! Calling the Emergency over two dogs is the most offered advice and the idea is absolute dogs bollocks stupidity. By now my patience is wearing thin with other complaints “Dogs shouldn’t be allowed in the Car Boot” from the ‘I am an expert’ brigade. Why do I do it?
Butt out!!
I don’t care about dogs locked in the car, I have NO RIGHT to interfere with the drivers property like “you should smash the window in” brigade suggest! However someone did go far enough to ring the RSPCA who arrived two hours later when everyone had buggered off home!

Some ‘alleged animal lovers’ are so over the top when they swear allegiance to unknown dogs plight. We do check the cars out and in most cases the animals inside the cars do have fresh air and are only distressed by people tapping on the car window which really pisses off the dogs and me!
Seriously, I have been in the Entertainment and Leisure Industry for over 50 years so I respectfully ask for NO MORE advice please because I know it all!! Nope that is not entirely true according to some irate comment from a lady who argued that “You should do more” telling me I had a bad attitude. Correct!

Marge is away and I am some missing her!

It has been a good few days with some great Car Boots and good crowds, thank you to you all.

Tell me about your recent bargains with back up pictures!
Tell me about your best BARGAIN! My Lou’s best ever bargain was ME! Ask her?

MICHELL Car Boot Sales now in their 12th year are the most popular Car Boot Sales we run however due to its over popularity we have received genuine complaints about sellers being cramped for space and buyers having difficulty in some of the selling lanes. The complaints are in my opinion totally justified therefore we will make the following changes with immediate effect.

1. We will restrict the amount of sellers to only 175 in total starting at £7.00 per car (see below for other changes).
2.There will be NO EARLY SELLERS entrances with the exception of our parkers.
3. Strictly NO LARGE VANS or MOBILE homes will be allowed to set up and sell.
4. There will be price increases at MITCHELL for sellers; Cars £7.00 Estates/ 4 x 4s £8.00 Vans up to £18.00 Trailers from £5.00 to double the vehicle price!

The majority of the complaints came from some of our staunch supporters and it is going to be difficult to stem the flow of the sellers and say “Sorry NO ROOM” my only advice is to arrive early and if you are not amongst our 175 sellers please allow yourself a dignified response to our team who have to say “You are too late, my lover”
Regarding the price increases they also are dignified because it was 2009 when they were last increased.

The majority of the sellers at Mitchell turned out their stall very well and took good money. Lou and I have noticed some of the more regular sellers who arrive and put the same crap out on their stalls each week, week after week, that they have been doing since last year! Then they have the bloody nerve to say “Its useless me being here I never take any fooking money”

So I am asking you all to look at your selling items and make sure your stall is full of BARGAINS then you will take money and it you don’t then try harder next time or ask me Lou to come to your stall to give you a FREE “PERSONAL OPINION” my lovelies.

Some young lady phoned me yesterday in a terrible mood and she asked the same question 3 times about the start time of a Car Boot Sale then got agitated and was rude to me so I got all defensive and probably rude as I stopped the call. I got a text within a minute saying “You are fucking rude” to which I agree so I texted her back to say “Does your mother know you swear at old people” Her reply? Yes! This young lady made my day I bet she can be some madam however Lou agrees with her that I am so effing rude! Not really, “I say it like it is please or offend”

Most of my customers I have spoken with about this election seem very keen for Nigel and the UKIP to give this government and its weak opposition parties a kick up the BUTT! Whatever the vote result I doubt there will be any changes but we shall see! This government and all its cronies are trying to talk the economy up as though we are heading for boom time!! They should take a careful look at our Community Car Boot Sales to see how the other half live. At one of our recent Car Boot Sales a helicopter trailing a UKIP flag and the response from some sections of the Car Boot there was spontaneous applause. Go for it Nigel.

Give it a break please, if you are disabled then a walk is just what the doctor ordered and if you arrive in the luxury of a car then you need the exercise. If you arrive early enough there will be car parking spaces near to the action! If you arrive late you will be parked at the back of the field therefore “start walking” and give your tongue a rest and get some bloody exercise my lovers! I shall be back tomorrow with my Geoff Says column to list all the complaints we get and about the people who think they have bought the Car Boot for 50 bloody pee!!

An expert on ignorance came to the small queue of buyers at TRURO at 11.00am yesterday demanding to know “Why hasn’t the 9.00 o’clock Car Boot Sales started your website needs updating” ‘No sir, it is updated stating the Car Boot starts at 12.00 noon’ but the ignorant old sod argued and would not listen to my advice to update his pc by pressing the F5 key!!

If you have CARBOOTSCORNWALL on your favourites and you select that page say 6 weeks ago chances are the information will be 6 weeks old when you click on to our HOME PAGE therefore simply press the F5 key to update!! Simple as that! The disgruntled old fart returned to his car where his Mrs Fart-ess was equally as arrogant demanding a refund of their 50p each. The woman wanted to know why it says something different on my website and I inadvertently called her DARLING during the conversation and she yelled at me “Don’t you Darling me I am not your Darling” I was gobsmacked as I looked at her dreadful treble chin wobbling face I shuddered and replied “Nope you are certainly right there I am not your Darling thank the Lord! Alleluia!!! I pretended to barf up on the grass! Thankfully they departed the scene!

But, the BARGAINS were unbelievable when the Car Boot started at the correct time of 12.00 noon so the silly old know-alls missed a real treat but a better atmosphere prevailed without their presence and if this reads that “I am being rude about my alleged duo of customers” then you are reading it correctly my lovers!!

This morning I had a text at 6.00am asking ‘Can you tell me if Waitrose is open this week please’ ‘Yes dear it is open 24.7’ says Geoff

Arrangements have been made for an additional Car Boot Sale on ALL BANK HOLIDAY MONDAYS at PAR MARKET at 12.00 noon…..Admission price 50p per adult person!!!!! Also BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY Car Boot Sale at TRURO CITY CATTLE MARKET at 1.30 pm…..Admission price 50p for adults…………….Geoff

The weather is totally outside of our control and the majority of sensible people have realised that it would be impossible for our GRASSED locations to operate Car Boot Sales whilst the grounds are so wet. Just imagine allowing up to 1000 vehicles onto soggy grounds which would ruin the farmers lands for the whole of the season!!

Similarly with HAYLE RUGBY CLUB grounds the locations is firstly a number one sports ground and their absolute priority is for the playing fields to be in tip top condition for their players! The grounds are NOT suitable for the Car Boot Sale so the start date for their Car Boot Sale has had to be postponed until next Sunday which is subject to weather conditions.

MABE MITCHELL and NEWQUAY are in the same predicament and I cannot allow Car Boot Sales to start until the ground conditions have improved. To most people this is common sense, but we get constant phone calls demanding to know why the Car Boot Sales have not started and when we explain about the ground conditions we are met with offensive replies and total rudeness from the minority of callers.

With immediate effect we will only have an answerphone message detailing what Car Boot Sales are on and will not answer any calls until the season restarts, similarly we cannot reply to texts therefore it is best for all enquirers to get their information from our HOME PAGE which will detail the latest information.

Last Sunday morning (whilst I was in church) we had a lady telephone at 7.30 in the morning to ask “When WAITROSE opens is it going to affect the Car Boot Sales at Truro Cattle Market”? WTF! What a bloody stupid question because WAITROSE will not open for at least two years and they have not even laid the foundation let alone any bricks you complete nutcase! Go back to bed!!

Dearest Anne told me on Saturday that the clocks go forward but I know what a wind-up she is so I told everybody the clocks go back giving you an extra hour in bed! Not so! But the amount of people that forgot or did not know is alarming hence we were down on sellers by up to 20% also what a rotten trick to do to Mothers Day by taking the hour off them on such an alleged ‘special day’ Happy Mothers day belated but I mean it, or do I ?
