    The last time I was at Bowlers, I was wearing a hi-viz vest and blowing a whistle.
    Them were the days....!

    Although if the computer fairs are anything to go by, it is big, busy, and a free for all on stolen hardware and pirated software.

    The car boot is big. I think it's £15 per car.

    This carboot sale is awesome :) good facilities and enough space inside to 'rehouse' outside pitches if the weather's terrible. Great bargains and generally loads of buyers. Last one we did, about a month ago, just with household stuff, book, toys, clothes etc we made £200+.

    I have never been in the winter months to the car boot but desperately need to sell and this is the only oen I know that is indoors. So I think I may take a trip one sunday morning to suss it out before going. I have neversold here either but a friend did it early in the year (ie before summer) and made about £90 which is good enough for me hahaha

    If you definitely want an indoor pitch I'd seriously recommend booking first! Just look for their website and their numbers are on there.
