3 good pictures!
I have rarely seen happier faces from some of the absolute BARGAINS hunters who did so well today from the blast of the horn and the rush of up to 1000 eager buyers looking for the best offers. My Lou has been clearing out her storeroom deciding to do the first EVERYTHING 50p stall. She took an amazing £120.00 meaning that she sold at least 240 items from her stall. Other buyers were lucky with buying so many good quality clothes most of them from one stall many of the items were ‘brand new with tags’ the seller downsizing to move away. The amount of really good quality toys were sold with stunning bargain prices and a huge amount came with their original boxes. I was very proud of Truro today the sellers had set up some fantastic stall and the buyers did justice by spending very well with several reports of takings in excess of £250.00 one lady arrived late and told Jackie that she would just go home but Jackie said ‘go on give it a go you could take some money’ the lady listened and we were delighted to hear she took over ninety quid!! Another lady showed me some of the ladies clothing she had bought she was so delighted and was heading off home to ‘put them all on eBay’ of course.

I don’t like to talk about sport much but have you noticed that Newcastle United is up to sixth position in the Premier League and that Sunderland are second bottom. One of our regular buyer/seller customers is a Sunderland supporter who can be a right miserable old sod at times, I have wound him up so much about how good Newcastle is I can almost see it in his eyes “Who is this irritating old bastard” but he doesn’t have the balls to say it! Howay the lads! Going down, going down, going down and I don’t mean sexually my lover!

I was twice approached with high compliments for our website in particular the ‘Geoff Says crap wot I wrote’ they suggested that readers should apply to join to read my blogs then we would have all the contact details of our readers and be able to sell the addresses on to other sources. Nice idea but I seriously respect the privacy of all our customers who have supported CBC since 1989 that’s why I won’t allow BBC or any other TV companies to invade the privacy of our sellers at our events. They tried it out at MABE and cocked up that’s it ‘BBC barred’ and whilst I am on about the BBC why don’t they get their bloody forecasts right? Anyway back to the compliments thank you and for the record I dearly love Marge and all the others who contribute their names unwillingly to my gossips they are lovely people and help make our Car Boots the success we have all achieved.

Now then, Monkey Tree had its second Sunday today with 12 sellers but over the sale time buyers spent well and over the two weeks hundreds have found out the location of Monkey Tree. Ok so it is not busy at the moment but when we change the time and day it is destined to be successful especially when you take into consideration how many thousands of visitors flock to Monkey Tree itself and PERRANPORTH which is more or less on the doorstep. It takes time for new Car Boot Sales to take off so with PAR and Monkey Tree new this winter I hope they are well received particularly as we regionalize the sales helping people save on fuel costs.

Lou and I were putting out the Truro signs at about eight this morning and were driving down Lemon Street which was deserted apart from a lady walking her dog, suddenly a large blue balloon came bouncing toward the car and I drove over the balloon causing a loud BANG and the woman and the dog acted as though the end of the world had arrived with her screaming and the Alsatian dog yelping and leaping into her arms, I thought I had run both of them the stupid pair! It was so funny I had to stop the car to dry my eyes from laughing and Lou was laughing as well which is a rare occurrence in the car with my driving it has to be said.
She is such a nervous passenger you will remember I used to have Mercedes Vito’s and over 6 years I bought and exchanged three of them through eBay and each of the three Lou managed to actually pull off the passenger door handle and arm rest “Oh look what I have got” as she thrusts yet another door handle and arm rest into my face! “How the f… did that happen”? Very funny, hilarious!

Back to the 50p stall that Lou did if any of you want to set up a 50 p any item stall (no foods or drinks) and you think you can honestly give value to our buyers then you can set-up early and borrow all of our ANY ITEM 50 p signs, no crap please just genuine BARGAINS!

I am sure all households would have at least 100 things ‘you can seriously live without’ get your husband to sort out yours and you can do his, now that is a recipe for a good old fashioned punch up my lovers and today was no different in my household. I help her set up her 50 p stall and lo and behold there are THREE items stolen from my office retrieved at the last minute! Just imagine stealing from your husbands office whilst snooping around all for the sake of one pound fifty, no wonder I am still looking for wife number five.

By the way a couple whom we have known for 18 years have just split up which is a shame for all concerned especially if there are children involved, however when one of the partners is so obviously responsible for the breakup and it is plain for everyone to see yet when the marriage is broken up completed the faulty partner says “What did I do to deserve this” acting like John McEnroe! Quite simply this, the faulty partner has over a considerable amount of years taking his wife for granted ignoring her hopes and wishes for the family’s future. Woman love to be appreciated, tell them they are lovely, show appreciation for everything she does to make your life happy and compliment her on her food (which I think is going a bit too far in my household) telling her you love her goes a very long way and if you really want to go over the top and get a stunning reaction then buy her some flowers from Lidl. Last time I did that it was like the inquisition “WTF have you been up to my lad” Don’t take your partner for granted like my wife does my lovers! Fancy stealing 30 bob!!!

I need you to TALK to me about when the last week in Truro should be? What do you think about BOXING DAY Car Boot Sale at PAR 12.00 noon (no Market Open?) What date should we start BACK at TRURO? Talk to me Gomez……..

We were all surprised and pleased that 44 sellers turned up to our Car Boot Sale at PAR MARKET today. There were a total of over 500 visits to the sale with plenty of BARGAINS and some of the sellers told us of some good takings. A big thank you to all who supported today with 18 of the sellers using the £3.00 off vouchers which saving will pay towards fuel costs.

For an experiment next week I am going to change the sale around using the current parking area for the sale and buyers will then park in the current selling area. Reason? Some of the buyers arrive and cannot see how many sellers there are and decide not to come in to the sale, but if the sellers are in view of the public I believe we will get more buyers hence more chance to improve your takings!

One thing that is noticeable about St Austell is that the people are so nice and pleasant and seem appreciative to have the Thursday midday Car Boot Sale at this fantastic location with toilet facilities that are ***** Star!!
I asked for people to comment and give me their views regarding MONKEY TREE in particular have we got the right date and the right time? The answer from our survey is a resounding NO with the majority of opinions suggesting we move the day to SATURDAYS at 12.00 noon and I agree with their suggestion, so this is how it goes big nose!

We have two weeks on SUNDAYS at 9.00am this year which I want to honour (subject to weather) but we will re-start the Car Boot Sales at MONKEY TREE in the NEW YEAR on SATURDAYS at 12.00 noon and if it is as successful as our customers believe it can run nearly all year round……Watch this space for the starting date in 2014 my lovers!

Now then, back to my picture featuring 20 ladies all facing a wall and showing their bums to the camera? Brazil is famous for its annual Miss BUMBUM and these ladies are the finalist in the 2013 November Miss BUMBUM competition. The first 3 sellers or buyers who can write down the name of this years winner will get a FREE TO SELL voucher for any location.

Ps; I am thinking of doing a Miss BUMBUM competition and SHOWTIME day at one of our locations this year to celebrate our 25 years running Car Boots Cornwall. May need quite a few judges for this one?
I cannot wait to see her face when I tell her what I wanna do, she will go effing ape shit! Do I care, am I bovvered! Just a bit!! 4 pictures… X

Far be it for me to stir things up a bit but….
We had our first Car Boot at MONKEY TREE which clashed (deliberate on my behalf) with the Tretherras School Annual Christmas Fayre which I understand was packed out but a load of the buyers came from the school to explore ‘where is Monkey Tree’ There were ten sellers who were treated to a FREE stall plus a £3.00 off voucher for Truro plus a £3.00 off voucher for next week’s Car Boot however during the two and a half hours the sellers took very good money supported by a lot of sellers mostly regulars and locals and lots coming from Tretherras. So, I am not expecting it to be that busy to start with but I do forecast Monkey Tree will be very good once established! We may even change the day or time but I am keen for your opinions on Monkey Tree! What time, what day? Watch this space!

We have promoted Truro Cattle Market over the past few weeks and today were the best November Sunday on record with 120 sellers and over 1500 people on site during the very successful sale both for buyers and sellers. As you know I have a good look around the stalls when they are being set up, I have to congratulate all stall holders on the high standard of merchandise that was on sale and what BARGAINS! Several sellers took over £250.00 and I am not telling tales but I saw one stall take £175.00 on his first customer. A great time to buy Christmas pressies with huge savings on kids toys but more than just seeking bargains or selling to make a few extra pounds for Christmas the atmosphere today at Truro was fantastic in keeping with all of our Cornwall Car Boot Sales everyone was happy and friendly and nice, not one complaint no problems just nice people enjoying a bit of sunshine and fresh air.

However the salacious gossips that Lou and I hear is amazing for instance we have heard that one lady seller has changed partners 4 that’s FOUR times this year so far, I wouldn’t say she was unattractive but her last partners guide dog kept biting her! You will remember I told you about Anne going to Tunisia for a week and coming back with the most amazing and unbelievable tan you could wish for and I was privileged to a quick navel display to prove the tan was everywhere. Now then, far be it for me to stir things up a bit but Marge told me in total confidence the tan came out of a bottle and that Anne now has the nickname of TANFASTIC meaning her ‘alleged tan’ came out of a bottle! I think there is a little bit of jealousy from Marge on this subject cos her holiday in the scorching hot Penryn Sands didn’t even give her a hot flush or maybe it’s because I said rumours abound that Ann could be in line for the wife number five that I have been looking for many years! God forbid, I couldn’t stand the pace socializing all the time and amazing pub crawls twice weekly at least! Yup that would suit me fine! (Her husband would SHOOT me)

Yesterday (Monday) we had a meeting with Sarah the General Manager of White River Shopping Complex and Multi Storey Car Park to discuss the request for Car Boots Cornwall to run indoor Car Boot Sales on floors 2 & 3 inside the spacious car parking areas. Apparently a charity tried sales for a few weeks some time ago. This is what I think, it is a brilliant indoor location and completely under cover, the entire complex which includes shops and stores and restaurants is presented to a very-very high standard and there are lifts on all levels. The idea would be that CBC would take up floor number 3 for its sellers and the buyers would park on level 2
Each seller would get 3 car spaces and there would be a restriction on numbers of sellers so if this location were to be as good as some of the up-country Multi Storey Car Boot Sales we may have to consider a reserve bookings system however it is important to remember this opportunity is for ONE day per week and that is SUNDAYS with a probable start time of 10.00 am to coincide with the opening time of the shops. Let’s have some thoughts please before I put forward our proposition to Sarah who is keen for success. However it widens the choice for many of our customers who can include a visit to Truro at 1.30 pm……more to follow!

Love to Kim X

Recently there have been a few stalls setting up and selling any item for 50 p a great idea. Their sales were very successful so we have had some boards made up that you may borrow to promote your 50p stall. However I would ask that you consider offering great value for the 50 p and not a load of crap please. Or, just before the end of the sale you decide ‘I do not want to take this lot home’ so why not sell the lot at BARGAIN prices tell us and we will pass the word around or even better create a crowd around your stall!
If you have any clothes or textiles you do not want bag them up and we will ensure they are recycled! Please advise a member of our team.

Could be the best Sunday weather wise this weekend so make hay while the sun shines! Monkey Tree at 9.00 am then TRURO at 1.30 pm

Gossips and round up of WHATS-ON this winter!
Sorry I am late with this I have a good excuse!
Before she went away my darling wife went berserk for absolutely no reason at all and she has yet to apologise this is what happened. I bought the dog a packet of chews from Trago’s and inside that bag was a sachet deoxidizer with warnings DO NOT EAT plastered on the outside. I put the sachet on my desk and thought nothing more about it until Major Snoop (the wife) came to bring some receipts and at the same time having a good old snoop as to what was on on the desk. She then get’s a bit shiddy with a change of mood going into reverse from her normal happy self she walks out of the office almost slamming the door.’WTF have I done’ I thought but could come up with no explanation so being the brave man I am I go to the kitchen make coffee for two and shout “Your coffee’s ready”

In she walks face like thunder chins are a-wobbling she sits opposite me stares me in the face and says;
“I want to know why you have a CONDOM on your desk and I want to know NOW” I couldn’t believe it “What are you talking about woman” I asked but I could see in her friendly eyes (so friendly they kept looking at each other) she was not mucking about. “Now what the hell would I want with a CONDOM you must be going mental” “No I am not” she screams “There’s one on your desk go and see for your f…..g self” shouts she “Go on then go and LOOK” I depart the happiness of the kitchen and look at my desk and I find nothing, still brave to ‘face the music’ I go back to my coffee and old thunder face “I don’t know what the hell you are on about but I see no CONDOM so there” Up she gets “Then come with me that’s if you haven’t moved it knowing you” she slandered as she stormed into the office up to the desk and shouts “And what the hell is that then” she says pointing at the deoxidizer! “You are going slightly mad woman it came with the chews that I bought for YOUR DOG you need to go to bloody SPECSAVERS get out, get out, get out” Without a word her embarrassment complete she silently walked out of the office and although we have been friendly (ish) she has not mentioned it since. It might well be that her tightfistedness for only paying a bargain quid a bleeding pair of glasses!!

Isn’t it amazing how woman are so beautiful in every way and yet they do not admit when they are in the wrong and have made a complete arse of themselves my lovers! Own goal my lovely lady! Own goal!! God knows what she would have said if she had found my stash of VIAGRA!!

Many buyers and sellers have asked what is going on with the Circus Fields at Newquay where towards the end of the season we moved to the entrance nearest The Kings Head whilst a road system in being constructed inside the original entrance to the fields.
I have met with the management of the new owners Kingsley Village who assure me that Car Boot Sales will most definitely be welcome next year.
Newquay is a very popular location for all of our sellers and buyers and during the peak season we bring more than 5000 to the Circus Fields every week so any shops and stores built within the development will have huge potential from our footfall of customers. A good reason for opening MONKEY TREE is that it will be a back-up for Newquay should we have to cut short our season. I have confidence that Monkey Tree will be great for the main season once it is established, the management of the Holiday Park are most keen to see the Car Boot Sales succeed. For the record there are increasing amounts of people from up-country who come to Cornwall for their holidays and load up their cars to sell at our Car Boots as well which is a brilliant way of paying toward the holidays, we know several regulars who stay at Monkey Tree and sell at our sales.
Directions to Monkey Tree from Circus fields, at the roundabout next to the Circus Fields and Morrison’s go left to the next smaller roundabout bear left and keep on that main road for less than 3 miles where you will see further signs directing you to the main entrance to MONKEY TREE Car Boot Sales on Sundays at 9.00 am

Several customers have asked us to look to see if we could run the Car Boot Sales held at the White River Multi Car Park at St Austell, Rachel and I went to the Car Park and Shopping Complex to have a look to see if there is any potential for our business. We were really impressed with the idea for a totally indoor genuine Car Boot Sale with limited headroom so there won’t be any vans due to the low roofs and you certainly do not want to come to a sudden halt and nearly rip your roof off, been there done that and wasn’t her indoors impressed? Nope!! Anyway we have a meeting with White River next week so I will keep you informed.

I have decided that our own catering will not start until March time so in the interim Mark from Relish Street Foods will have a rent free period over winter to attend and serve food and hot drinks at both Par Market and Monkey Tree. I need more feedback about holding a BOXING DAY Car Boot Sale at PAR MARKET which is on Thursday 26th December 201( your comments please) It’s a brilliant idea because you can sell all those unwanted presents you were given the day before? Bah Humbug!
We don’t do Christmas or birthdays, years ago I bought Lou a present for about forty quid and found the identical item brand new for £3.00 at Falmouth Rugby Club so from then on if we need anything the car boot is the best place to look.
SUNDAY at Truro Cattle Market was excellent with just under 100 sellers and loads of buyers so for all concerned it was a good day. I heard of some very good takings (one stall £280.00) and there certainly was a lot of BARGAINS including some antiques sold for great prices and could be a nice little earner and profits from some of the dealers.
One man went to a stall and asked ‘how much is that music system please’? A tenner says the seller ‘Will you take a fiver’ says the buyer and a ‘deal is done’ at 50% of the asking price. The seller agrees to put the system behind his stall for the buyer to collect later and he pays the seller the fiver. He calls back to the stall saying ‘I have changed my mind and I want my money back’ the seller says ‘No, you knocked me down by five quid, I am not refunding’ “Then I will go and see Geoff he will get my money back” ‘Ok say’s the sellers go and see Geoff’ The buyer explains all to me and I am not really going to be on his side because he knocked the seller down on the original price and when the seller put the system behind the stall he genuinely and quite rightly thought he had sold the system! Cash in the till mate! I spoke with the seller one of our real regulars who goes out of his way to be genuine to his customers. I explained that I believe the seller was in the right to refuse a refund because a deal had been done and that I believe the buyer was in the wrong! As a gesture of goodwill the seller refunded the fiver and ten minutes later he sold the system for the full asking price! Bingo!!
Buyers should remember that sellers are not playing at shops and to buy something after knocking a seller down to half of his asking price and then have the bloody nerve to say ‘I have changed my mind’ amounts to adult stupidity and I personally would have resisted giving a refund, perhaps that’s why I don’t sell my lovers!

On Sunday Lou and I were putting the Car Boot directional signs out for Truro. I was walking through some really thick grass to put our four by two foot CAR BOOT SALE 1 MILE sign tied against a post which I had just about reached when my feet became trapped and I tripped in some heavy brambles falling heavily on my bum, the sign and me were thrown into a heap on the ground overseen by a car full of lads driving by who gave me an amazing toot-toot and cheering, probably thought I was stoned or drunk or both. Anyway, I got up pulled a few thorns out of my hands and tried to walk with this excruciating pain in my bum (right cheek) which has kept me in agony for two days. Walking is difficult you just don’t know on which leg to limp it’s like taking part in the Ministry of funny walks and then to make matters worse the other cheek comes out in sympathy as the pain is doubled. To stand up is agony to sit down is agony and the thought of tackling the ‘loo’ is out of the question but I can always rely on my Lou to deal with the crisis the right way. She thinks it’s hilarious; yes of course it is bloody funny, she calls me ‘the original pain in the arse’! Absolutely no breeding that woman, none at all but I still love her (ish) anyway she assures me ‘there is NO bruising’ so there is no need to make so much fuss so now she thinks I am putting it on! Any advice how to deal with a pain in the bum? Her!!

Some bloke thought he was being amazingly funny when he commented “Hey Geoff you must be some hard up having to make your Mrs to do a Car Boot today” so let’s put the record straight on that one, Lou is her own boss with her own house clearance business. During the last couple of weeks she has been helping a lady of 80 plus years downsize from her large 3 bed roomed house to a flat in Tregony. The lady in question is unable to do a car boot for herself so as part of Lou’s service she sells at the boot sale on behalf of her customer. Simple! Nosey bugger! However, and for the record I always make Lou pay for her stall without discount which really winds her up, that’s why I do it!!

The weekend weather looks friendly to our business so Friday at Falmouth could be busier than usual. Sunday morning ‘why not come to Monkey Tree for 9.00 am Car Boot Sale, bring the kids or your grandchildren then after the sale you can take them to them to any of the local sandy beaches for a walk then home for and early lunch then to Truro for our Car Boot at 1.30 pm and you will have all had just what the doctor ordered ‘a day in the country and some fresh air and some exercise and probably a pain in the butt, Good!

Ps; I have had to do most of this standing up, the pain “Ee its agony Ivy”

The local Car Boot & Market of Melilla.
What an uncivilized world we live in when women have to work like mules to earn less than £2.00 a day carrying mostly second hand clothes?

They are known as the mule women of Melilla. Every day they carry heavy loads across the border between the Spanish enclave and Morocco. Melilla is an important entry point for goods into North Africa – and if the women can carry them, they can be imported into Morocco duty-free.
In the early morning sunlight, a cloud of dust hovers close to the 6m-high fence that separates Melilla from Morocco. The dust is kicked up by frenetic activity as traders prepare goods to cross the border. There are second-hand clothes, bolts of fabric, toiletries and household items, all of it destined for markets in Morocco and beyond. Thousands of people are here and the noise is deafening – a cacophony of revving engines and raised voices.
Massive bales are everywhere, all wrapped in cardboard, cloth and sacking and fastened with tape and rope. And under the immense bales, obscured and bent double by the size of their loads, are Moroccan women. They are the mule women of Melilla, known locally as porteadoras.
This commerce takes place daily at Barrio Chino – a border crossing from Melilla to Morocco for pedestrians only. As long as a porteadoras can physically carry her load, it is classed as personal luggage, so Morocco lets it in duty-free. The women have the right to visit Melilla because they live in the Moroccan province of Nador. But they are not allowed to reside in the Spanish territory.
One of these Mule-Women Latifa claims her place in the rowdy queues made up of hundreds of women, and drops her load of 60kg (132lb) of used clothes. She has been doing this work for 24 years and will be paid three Euros ($4.10 or £2.60) for transporting her bale across to Morocco. It is not work she chooses to do.
. Many of the women who work as porteadoras are divorced or separated like Latifa, single mothers providing for their families. Life is difficult for them in Morocco’s traditional society, and often this is the only work they can get. Some of them make three or four trips a day from Barrio Chino, carrying up to 80kg.

Take a look at these pictures Mother!

This message was posted by me on Thursday to get all those who are eager to see Falmouth stay open on Fridays to support the events and it worked! Last week only four sellers arrived this week 17 next week is up to you!!

Could this the last of the season I do believe the answer is YES however if you all turn out to support Falmouth and the sellers I may give the event a reprieve! On the other hand I may NOT!! If there are 20 plus sellers we will go on for another week its up to you!!
…………………………………………
Friday afternoon 17 sellers and lots of buyers so reprieved is Falmouth for at least another week, now then where were Queenie & Gordon and Lazy Jane cos Marge & both Rachel’s and Ann of the holiday tan (spray on) was there??

I think my message on the HOME PAGE worked and thank you to all who turned up! Now then today we charged all sellers a FIVER and all the buyers got in FREE of admission so next FRIDAY I will make the same offer to both buyers and sellers!
………………………………………..
PAR MARKET yesterday at St Austell for its second week did very well but the dreadful weather and very strong winds and drizzle helped no-one but I understand most sellers did well however some buyers object to paying the admission charge which is non-negotiable, however the charge will only be made for the first hour of the Car Boot at Park Market during the winter period.
All customers should take into consideration that Landlords expect and deserve a realistic rent in return for using their lands, similarly the operating costs of Car Boots Cornwall have increased dramatically and the only way for our events to continue is for buyers to contribute towards those costs. You all know how expensive car parking is and to begrudge paying only 50 p per adult person towards the costs of the sales and FREE parking which are community events is bordering on ‘Scroogeism’ or being labelled a TFOB!!

5 good pictures!

Thank you to all of the sellers and buyers for turning up at our first Car Boot Sale at PAR MARKET yesterday. The first ever Car Boot is always a bit nerve wracking but I had said if we get 15-20 sellers I would be happy. We had 26 sellers so I was delighted with over 350 people attending in all and remember there was no-one there last week!

Success, well done to all of our supporters however it seems that someone went through the queue at Truro on Sunday telling everyone “The first car boot at Par is cancelled till next week” WALOBs! It’s like we used to have one old git with nothing better to than mischief make known as the ‘Artful Dodger’ Anyway he would go round the stalls in Newquay telling everybody “this is the last one this year” the total knob! He might have done it as a dislike for me but our car boot community crowds look forward to and enjoy our car boots so to confuse the public is dangerous so his arse was verbally kicked OUT with the second parting word from me word was “OFF” !

Par Market are celebrating the fact they are now officially allowed to open 7 days a week which in time will bring the huge crowds that used to visit the Market and our Car Boots in the late 90s when Restormel Council made life very difficult for Market Traders and Car Boot Sales. I believe the future for the Market and us is bright which is seriously good for St Austell and good for Cornish Market World who has been superb in their negotiations with Car Boots Cornwall. Claire Hancock the site Manager was delighted with our first ever Car Boot, (thank God to meet a nice Claire) that is 2 Claire’s who are nice and they are both my Landlords. Woman is the Boss and I can cope with that BUT not in my house!!

My Lou has gone for her annual pilgrimage to visit her mum to learn the fine arts of becoming ‘the complete BITCH’ I told her not to bother she has become one already! Anyway I took her to the station and off she went to Cheshire and I breathed a great sigh of relief at last RESPITE!! The break I deserved, I don’t know what’s wrong with her lately I think she may be in the change which really worries me, her mother (bless her) has been in the change for the entire time I have known her which is over 30 years my lovers! Anyway the gossip on Lou’s dad, as you knows he had cancer with his ‘down below problem’ and had all sorts of remedial treatments and was given the all clear. Recently he has had the problem that he wants ‘a pee’ all the time and sometimes he doesn’t make it to the loo in time! Then don’t drink so much you silly sod!

St Kitts!
At last we have decided not to go back to St Kitts and this year I shall take you all to Mauritius and send blogs and pictures of the exciting life style of the locals who crowd the beaches from 7 in the morning. Last time we went there Lou took on a swarm of jellyfish so there is bound to be some drama’s to report especially as we are going self catering!

We do love St Kitts but it is a very-very corrupt country from the Prime Minister and his Government to the population. Everyone seems to be ‘on the fiddle’ to survive and with a 20% VAT introduction the crime rate will increase. When we first went in 1993 I used to suffer dreadful pains and had to take a chair to be seated most of the time, Chalawa the head of the family whom we have known for the 20 years suggested ‘hey man get some smoke into you to relax yourself man then you can move around and get some exercise without pain man’
20 years later I still have some pain, I still have a few smokes but I am much fitter than I was in 93 and I can say without doubt that cannabis has played a major part in my being able cope with the pains so therefore I would advocate that Cannabis is legalized in this Country once and for all. So many American states are now legalizing Cannabis and one state has taken the bold opportunity to take a TAX of 25% with half going towards schools and the rest invested into the Cannabis Industry so the government ensure the safety of the Industry.

You as a person are allowed to own Cannabis Seeds you can buy them sell them or give them to a friend but you cannot put them into soil to grow them yet you can grow tobacco in your garden which is far more harmful than Cannabis.
The Chinese whispers started about me someone even wrote to one of my Landlords telling them I was selling millions of pounds worth of Cannabis at the Car Boots. The daft bugger!

Now then, let’s talk Car Insurance! I received my annual reminder from my Insurance Company which was well over four hundred quid so I looked up eBay typing in my car registration number asking for insurance quotes. Within about half an hour I got back to my insurance company and told them “I have found Insurance quotes the same as you are offering for £105.00 less and I do not want to leave your Company but I do want you to price match please” Guess what! They agreed and my policy has just arrived confirming the huge saving so it pays to challenge your Insurance companies and if you shop around you will save money.

Thank you again for your support at Par lots of people made comments about Marge not showing her face at the first one some putting it down to age others told me her passport had expired but in her place was Queen Rosie with her man ‘in waiting’ Gordon. She only brings him to act as chauffeur and to pay for and carry the shopping.

And finally, A man asked ‘why are you not doing your Geoff Says any more’ I am, I just have been busy! Sorry for any delay! No I’m not……….Geoff x

It is ideally located for those sellers and buyers living local to Newquay also it is very handy for doing TWO Car Boot Sales in a day by selling at MONKEY TREE at 9.00 am then off to TRURO CAR BOOT Sale at 1.30 pm

Par Market do not under any circumstances allow DOGS into the Market (with the exception of guide dogs) therefore there are very strict Management rules regarding DOGS being allowed into the large hard standing car park where we will hold our Car Boot Sales. Will all dog owners please note;

At the double gate entrance to the right as you enter the Car Park there is a fenced off garden area where you can exercise your dogs and please remember POO bags. I do not want to see large dogs being walked around the selling stalls areas please or we could be put in a position where we have to BAR dogs all together!
Wot a lovely thought!
