What a lovely day Sunday turned our to be with the Car Boot Sale held on the hard standing with 70 sellers and a turnout of just over 1000 men women & kids. Some stall reported excellent takings and there were some great bargains with lots of happy buyers. We have been told time and again that parents are buying their Christmas presents for the kids at our sales which saves fortunes especially if you are buying for more than two children who will show just as much appreciation as if you have spent £££s more in the shops.
The sale was over by 3.30pm but it was nice to see our Phyllis sporting her medals on this Remembrance Sunday medals she is proud to have been awarded during her services in the RAF during the war days. Now in her 86th year Phyllis can be a pain in the bum at times but she has a great sense of humour and she sets a fine example to all those who wont make the effort to get out there and get some fresh air and exercise, live de life!! Go for it Phyliss! I have known her for so long I think I am entitled to a respite week!

Rachel is back from her week at Butlins with the love of her life and she tells me they had a fantastic time and it all turned out much better than she had thought, the entertainment and facilities were exceptional and she would certainly go again! We talked about the days when I was at Butlins in the 1960s and how thin the chalet walls were you could hold a cup to the wall and hear them breathing next door, Rachel says “Nothing’s changed you should have heard the bloke next door he was snoring all night” and the people the other side of you told me what you two were up to saying “I dont know where they got their energy from they were ‘at it’ nearly all night” The ‘chalet maid’ says there were teeth marks on the headboard!! Just like mother Marge!

*It was surprising how many people mentioned ‘chalet bashing’ today from a previous story, I met 3 ex chalet maids and we have one ex-Redcoat who is a regular Car Booter. We used to make any of the staff who had ‘chalet rash which was visible to the public’ wear royal blue plasters over the love bite! what happened between the knees and the adams apple was no-ones business.
Nowadays everyone wears Tattoo’s an there is no room for the good old snog from the 60s! Yuck! Ask Mother if she remembers but ask yer grandad when hes on his own, you will learn more! Then ask them if they remember their first kiss?

I remember my first ever kiss when I was at junior school with a girl called Jennifer, I had just ‘hung the lips’ and her nose dribbled in my mouth! Goodbye Jennifer, snotty biatch!
