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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
