    Someone put a flyer on my car windscreen a couple of weeks ago announcing a new afternoon indoor carboot sale at the Lakes Estate which supposedly started last week - Has anyone been to it? Is it any good?

    Indoor... where? at Leon school maybe?

    Flyer says every sunday at Bletchley Lakes Estate Community Centre (wherever that is). They open the doors to sellers at 1pm and buyers can enter after 2pm.

    The DFW nerd club started after SouthernScouser read that 'Debt free Wannabes' are described as 'Nerds' in the description of the board, it's a bit of a laugh those who are trying very hard to become debt free.

    The thread is in DFW board and is called 'Nerds! How Rude!!!'

    Yeah, indoor boot sale next to Leon School. Checked it out Sunday and it was lousy. Barely 10 tables there. Nice idea but just not worth the ride.
