Car Boots - has your local started back up?

Hi,

Have a Sunday off, and just wondered this late on if your local car boot had started back up yet? Can't find any adverts in the papers for my local one.

Or, as I know quite a few of you have mentioned my local car boot, been and seen it is up and running in Cannock?

  • No sign of them starting up again where I am, though the jumble sale season has started, and even better, the local auctioneers have moved their saleroom to my town too (very useful since I don't have a car).

    We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over.

    Just the odd 'charity type' one spotted so far this year.

    Went to one this morning - around 20 cars with a load of really expensive junk. All I bought was 15 assorted cards at 20p each.

    Asked about a kids cookery set but they wanted £1.50 which I decided was too much. 50p and it would have been coming home with me.

    No, none here apart from the Milton Keynes Bowl one. That one runs every Sunday all year so you'd have to be brave to go there in the winter!
    The Tingewick one starts on 31st March. Looking forward to that one as it's just the right size and usually very good!

  • I've heard that the Boot Sale at the Cross Inn, Gelligaer starts back up on 8th April (Easter Sunday) - Not really communtable from Stafford, but may be useful for those in the Valleys :-)
