The midweek car boot is doing a roaring trade
It had been years since I'd been to a car boot sale. After doing a stall to sell some of my children's toys when they were younger, the 5am get-up and requests to sell items worth pounds for a pittance was not something I was keen to repeat in a hurry.
One little boy looked made up with the tub of mini cars his mum had snapped up, insisting on holding the entire box while being pushed along in his trolley. And it's places like this where it's possible to find the toys favoured by your child that are sometimes no longer available in the shops. He's quite vocal on the microphone, which is good as you get to hear what deals he's got. A guy in front of me bought '£80 worth of tomahawk steaks' for £30 and got a roll of beef thrown in for good measure. Another got minty lamb, ribs and chicken for £20.
As I waddled back to my car carrying the heavy bag, one lady was on the phone telling someone 'the meat man's here'. Even the car boot bosses put a message on the Facebook page last week saying: "So many people asking. Yes yes the meat man will be here every Wednesday and Sunday."
