Before we started the Car Boot Sales we used to celebrate Christmas like everyone else buying presents and cards. The cards and wrapping papers went in the bin and most of the ‘pressies’ ended up in our great recycling bin the Car Boot Sales.

A kid I know saved up his pocket money to buy (under protest) his Mum a pair slippers for Christmas from Marks & Sparks at £22.00
A few days later he was at the boot sale and saw an identical pair of slippers same size brand new for £2.00
Mother had worn the slippers too late to get a refund but the kid was highly pissed off!

I’m sorry to laugh at this but he was a right ‘cocky little brat’ who knew everything or so he thought!
