HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY to Julia……X

It is not often that we would ‘tell tales’ on our customers but one revealed a secret recently about how she sells of eBay. Several years ago the lady we will call her IBS had bought some genuine Beryl Cook prints then photocopied them and sold them on eBay as the real article. She sold several over many months when her photocopier broke down so she decided to go to STAPLES for a few copies of Beryl’s picture.
Fortunately Staples assistant said to IBS “You are not allowed to photocopy these pictures as they are copyright by law to Beryl Cook’s family” IBS was gob-smacked when Lou told her how much trouble she could be in if she ever sold the pictures again! I think she is a complete nutter not knowing she could be in trouble and at her age she should know better!! She is 82 and a daft old nam-bat, she can be an irritable old ‘B’ at times but she is one of the darling old fartesses who loves selling at our sales and we love looking after them. (ish)
ps; She has’nt sold on eBay since, says she!
You NAUGHTY Girl.
37 Sellers took excellent money all went home happy and the buyers spent really well because there were a lot of good bargains. I reckon that over £2000.00 exchanged hands today between buyers and sellers which makes everybody happy!
Our GUARANTEE is if you bring the BARGAINS you WILL take money!
This week is Viagra-Valentine’s Week! Lets all rise to the occasion!!
Great atmosphere today with all sellers paying attention to the security of their stalls, lots of friendships and families and happiness for a couple of hours all for the bargain price of 50p….and that includes FREE PARKING… I dont know how we do it!
Gossip! This is true today I had a phone call asking about Truro from the lovely lady and asked ‘are you Geoff’? She admitted she fascinated by the story of CUPID’S COUCH do I know where she can get one! Not wishing to embarrass Kate Brown from Camborne you only have to look at eBay CUPIDS COUCH! I do know of someone who is selling a second-hand one with puncture repairs my lover!
All good gossip everyone is happy and looking forward to the 9.00 am Saturdays at Truro from the 23rd February-Dont forget NEW TIME is 9.00am.
Did not see Marge all day but had a good chat with Annie about Tunisia. Lou and I have certain big celebrations and ‘get this’ Lou is treating us both to a surprise 7 days in Tunisia where the weather is’nt much better than here (how thoughtful) anyway Annie has named all the pubs to visit and places to go, I reckon she could show us a good pub crawl or two!(wish you was coming) Phyliss is coming back next week I think she has been seeing Russell. Thank you to all of the regulars who kept a ‘special eye open’ for security of our sellers stalls after the two incidents last week.
Next weeks Team is Rachel & sister Becky with Arlin.

This is not for the faint hearted we will expect the highest standards of service and value for our customers and once you are ON OUR TEAM we will expect you to be happy in your work at all of our events;
Because of the weather on Sunday it was decided to hold the Car Boot Sale inside the cattle pens and away from the rain. There were 32 stalls in total and the sale started at 1.30pm About 650 adults & their kids in total which was a good turnout but within the first half an hour two sellers had stock stolen from their stalls. The first incident was a mother and a girl of about 10 years were looking at a ring and put the item down on the table after hearing the price and walked away. Minutes later the child returned to the stall and stole the ring worth £25.00 and dissapeared into the crowds. Similarly a watch was stolen from another stall and in both incidents the sellers told me that the people who stole from them were NOT FROM CORNWALL and had foreign accents. As sellers you have a responsibility to look after your stall and your selling items in a size the space of your sitting room! That should be CHILDS PLAY! You must be secure with your stocks and keep the valuables to the back of your tables and I ask all regulars and our priveledge pass holders to our sales to keep an eye out for any persons who may wish to steal from any of my customers. Further, if you do know who has stolen from your stall do not take the law into your own hands please see a member of our team to assist you!
We have all nationalities at our Car Boot Sales so it would be unfair to assume that because they have an accent they are not to be trusted. Times are hard for lots of people but I will not tolerate any persons found stealing from my Car Boot Sales and my customers under any circumstances ! I will take you to COURT!
8.00am latest; Heavy drizzle in Truro & surrounding areas, sale likely to be held indoors!
Sellers should arrive at least ONE hour before the start time with some BARGAINS! Buyers should arrive with loads of money to buy the BARGAINS!
Birthday Greeting to Annie & Vera! X X
It was lovely to see all the regulars at Truro on Sunday and it was all worthwhile for the smiles and cuddles from my many girlfriends but when blokes come up to me for a cuddle and then mention my aftershave I worry. One man said ‘that’s a lovely aftershave, what is it’? I said “I dont know it has a horse and cart on the bottle”
Anyway some of you have seriously put on a few pounds in weight my lovers and I dont like to mention names because Lou and I have got to admit that over Christmas and holidays we ‘scoffed at the trough of life’ a bit more than usual so we are guilty as well. Its a shame that we all suffer from enjoying eating then suffering the consequences by moaning about our naked figure reflection in the long mirror but at least you can do that in complete privacy and its your secret! YUCK again! However I must mention Orli who over recent weeks has been determined to lose some weight and what a difference she looks. She is a different person so much happier with her new look and I reckon there could be a new love in her life as well. She has lovely ‘come to bed eyes, going to bed eyes and been to bed eyes whereas my wife has very friendly eyes that keep looking at each other! She was most upset sitting on the Banana Beach when a coastguard asked her to move ‘because the tide wants to come in’ But I do love her-ish!
Loads of BARGAINS on Sunday and one of the stalls who told me ‘I sell a load of CRAP really’ took over £250.00 in the almost two hour period before the bloody rain stopped play. A lovely atmosphere amongst almost 1000 people who love their Car Boots but you always get some moaning old sod who actually blamed me for the rain and said the event should have been in the cattle pens! Wrong Mr Fart, we surveyed the sellers where they wanted to sell and the majority said outside which is what we did. For the record we have on average 10 phone calls weekly from buyers asking ‘inside or outside’ They much prefer for the event to be held outside and so do the MAJORITY of sellers.
Thank you all for the nice compliments you gave to Rachel & sister Becky & Arlin for looking after the Car Boots they are the top team.
Gossip!
CUPIDS COUCH latest;
Picture of Lady Lynn’s posh ‘cupids couch’ and Lynn told me that Marge has had to get a puncture kit for hers ‘one little prick and it burst’!!
Still knackered from the almost all day journey from Cornwall I wanted to get up early to watch the day break which over previous years has been spectacular, so armed with a large rum & Coke and an even bigger smoke I settled down to watch the changing skies from night time to daytime all within two hours. Half an hour into my daydream I hear a cat crying and between the pillars on the balcony I can see this scrawny looking grey and white moggy screaming FEED MEENOW!
I decided to get up which frightened the cat as it launched itself Kamikaze style off the balcony to a 12 foot drop below (going down-ground floor) I looked over couldn’t see so the animal so assumed it had died in the fall, back to my day breaking.
Minutes later I noticed the cat sitting under a table studying me, this time it allowed me to get up go to the kitchen and fetch some food and milk which it scranned in no time. The cat did not want any contact with me at all and with an attitude ‘look! I don’t mind you feeding me but that’s as far as it goes, no touching-no feeling —RIGHT!’ which I reluctantly accepted.
The cat ate all its food and over our two week stay it made a habit of arriving mornings and evenings for meals so during that time it put on quite a bit of weight. I was really proud of my efforts, Lou doesn’t like cats and says to me “The last thing you need at your time life is more pussy”
I get really attached to animals especially if I feel that in some way I have saved their lives so on our last day I decided to give it at least a couple of days worth of food and milk. Each time I fed it-it would come closer so I felt totally justified to say “Let’s chance it , I want to stroke that cat”
Whilst it was drinking its milk I made a grab and the bastard thing went berserk with me and I will never feed a stray flea ridden cat again! Look at my bleeding legs!!
Then I woke up and it was all a dream! Must have been a bloody good smoke though and what about that sunrise?
LOOK at 3 pictures first! Well the truth is out at last and I can reveal that Marge was the latest buyer of this craze to improve your humping and bumping love lives by getting loads of exercise by this new shagging furniture which is now also in the blow-up and much cheaper version (the ones that Marge bought) It was Lady Lynn bragging but she had bought a leather and oak framed one and it was such a huge success in bringing back that old sparkle into their bonking relationships that Lynn & Him always have a smile on their faces. Orli was going to wait for Marge to report about them before deciding and certainly Rosie and Gordon were going to look up eBay so there was a lot of interest. Anyway, Marge had a load of loyalty credits and green shield stamps to redeem at Ann Summers and was offered a special offer for a special customer deal two for the price of one of the leathery black shiny with grasp handles ones When the assistant suggested having one upstairs and one downstairs she gladly accepted and arranged the delivery with a warning from the assistant to add to the pleasure LOADS of Johnsons baby oil liberally spread will ‘add to the pleasure’ dear! Now you the reader must use your imagination and pick two people in your lives to experiment with the CUPIDS COUCHES that Marge got because these black shiny couches have to be thinly/thickly covered with Johnsons Baby oil which suggests that the two participants start off in the buff-NAKED!! Lovely thought! First study the suggested positions diagram!! So lets imagine the couple excitedly open up their purchase as they nervously attach the electric pump! While its inflating lets go and have a quick shower shall we dear Returning with hearts pounding and anticipating the unknown they start by squirting the shiny black couch with grasp handles with the warmed up Johnsons Baby Oil. Let battle commence as they grapple with each other in wild embraces and kisses and with a good deal of slurping noises at some time of other Hopefully this act is carried out in the dark cos it could be an unbearable sight knowing some of our couples who are also considering buying these love couches! I cannot imagine any real sex act going on, I think it would be like trying to push a melting marshmallow into your money box! Yuck, yuck and Yuck again! Then at the end of the performance its lights on time and who is going to clean the love couch and pack it away? Lets carry it to the shower dear! I predict there will be loads of them for sale at our Car Boots and for the first time ever I will believe their description! USED only ONCE! But not MARGE she will soldier on and off and on and… so why did she get two? Well if you have one downstairs you could leave it half-inflated under the kitchen table for a quick opportunity (shag) but dont under inflate or you could do serious injuries to both parties and for goodness sake dont let the bleeding grandchildren find it hidden in the kitchen or you will have some serious lies to tell! Back to Marge, she is kindly going to lend the unopened one to Rachel who intends going back to BUTLINS soon and we all know what happened last time…..more to follow! Ps; Leave Marge Alone! I have full permission from Marge to print this story but I refused the high fees demanded for her to model with her Black Shiny Cupids Love Couch with grasp handles in her Red Room of Pain!
