MABE Sunday 8th May,
7.20 am I received a phone call to ask “How are the ground conditions after the bad weather yesterday before I decide if it is worth our while coming”
You WHAT!

However, the phones were non-stop and over 600 visits to our website proved people were unsure “if it’s on or off”
Whatever the weather it is our job to present the Car Boot Sales advertised it is obviously not possible to hold the sale in torrential rain.

Lou & I had a bet she said 7 rows of cars and I said 10 and who was right ME of course!

There was a shower of rain at 12.30pm and 5 sellers (chicken) left to queue to go home and unpack the car. Wrong decision!
The sun came out and everyone took good money and we saw some great bargains taken back to the cars.

Over 3000 men women & kids came out and joined into the Community spirit of our Car Boot and the Recycling was a credit to all. Yesterday I had an old moaner who said ‘it’s all crap in there’
I replied ‘I knew we had a CRAP expert amongst us somewhere’! Another Richard Head no doubt! See picture, dont show Marge!

But the heavy winds provided challenges for some of the sellers displaying stocks. It was great fun watching them assembling their flimsy tables in what they considered ‘storm conditions’
Mostly women are in charge and do a fantastic job in organising their stalls and getting the husband employed with ‘do it my way’ bossiness tactics! Quite right!!

If you want a car boot to be successful leave it to them! And, women are much better drivers as well!
That should help my popularity out with the blokes! Who cares!

A great weekend, thanks’ for sharing some of your life with our Community Car Boots Sales in CORNWALL.
