Because I've never been? Because I haven't been selling and buying at car boot sales for the last 25 years. You know, the kind that involve a car and a boot and sales? Because I'm a crazy lady who thinks events should be advertised as they will actually be?


Good luck with your flea market. Luckily for you there are enough folk around here willing to fork out a small fortune for both other people's second hand junk or to pay a small fortune to pay for the privilege of hauling their kit down a road to sell it off a blanket on the floor.


Also good luck to your professional traders who you clearly have lined up.

Think the seasoned car booter comment was for me Cedges


And I have to confess I am, even been to them in Copenhagen, Singapore and Spain. Some woth cars, some without but never with anyone selling directly from a car boot (I?ve been going and selling for years) th items are always taken out of the boot (usually with help from antique dealers after the good stuff) and placed on pasting table/clothes rail or blanket.


Good way to get a bargain, make a bit of cash and do some recycling


See all bargain hunters and sellers on 11 March

Didn't think the ?5/?6 boot fairs could be anywhere close enough to get to. I have being doing boot fairs in London and Kent for years and have never paid less than ?10. There's nearly always a mixture of second hand and vintage.

More traders booked in

But wow 😯

Never thought my posting would cause such a stir.

It?s a car boot let?s hope it?s a good one

Most pitches are sold now so my efforts will be on getting another 2000

Flyers out there to bring in footfall.


No digs intended

Seasoned or not

Car booting makes for great fun.

I?m addicted.


Like every event it?s perseverance

to build on making it a success.

Like all car boots/fares etc it will have good months and ROTTEN

ones due to weather, sporting events and seasons.

Yes it?s mother?s day-so a stroll after lunch

to purchase some flowers (yes we have flowers)

Or some retro sweet treats might be a nice end to the weekend.


Thanks all.

Oh absolutely do go ahead and do things - no problem - just make sure your descriptions are accurate thats all. Its very simple. Everyone would be up in arms if a Ham and Cheese sandwich was advertised and contained no ham. Or a muffin was advertised as vegan but contained milk. I am merely up in arms at a car boot sale that clearly is a flea market/table top with with a smattering of car boot.

CEDGES I wasn't going to comment but I really do find your constant replies quiet tiresome.


I am in NO way false advertising my event.


It is a CAR BOOT sale not a flea market please stop putting out bad comments.


I am dealing directly with Goodrich school and after putting forward my proposal the car boot sale will go ahead.


If you really have nothing positive to say or nothing better to do please don't RAIN on other people parade.

If you want to judge then come along on the day and see for yourself.


I am working hard to promote the event for both SELLERS and the Public.


It's disappointing when a few try and spoil for the majority.

I am quite tired with your utter failure to consider the concept of false advertising.


What is is exactly that I am trying to ruin? Am i saying your event shouldn't go ahead? No. Am I saying no one should go? No. And I saying that you are falsely promoting one thing whilst attempting to operate something else? Yes.


No, I won't be coming along. I would have had I just seen a promotion for a car boot sale and not asked more questions. Which is very much my point. Having a wander and having a look to see if I can find any car boot bargains is exactly what I wanted to do. Coming along to have a gander at professional traders and other peoples second hand, likely non-vintage tat that they are going to have to massively overprice to have any chance of even making a couple of quid profit, I am not interested in. And so I am delighted to have established that you are operating a flea market/table top sale of which I have not interest in attending.


If you think I'm annoyed now, imagine how furious I'd be had I spent my precious time visiting your car boot sale only to discover the above after I'd arrived.


Actually I think I've been very kind by pointing out your error and misinformation. It would be a horrible shame if instead of taking on board such advice, someone else was misinformed and subsequently informed trading standards about your false advertising.


Just caveat what you're calling it and stop being stupidly stubborn.

      Stephen Viccary - Bathroom installation

      By Ergo_mark · Posted

      Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145

      Dulwich Eco Gardening - Professional Landscape Gardening / Design

      By AylwardS · Posted

      Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
