please tell me that you've got a sandwich board on you with details of the tat you want, and stopping the sellers going in to check what they have to sell...... ohh and you have far too much time on your hands..... unless you're a dealer why would you be going this early?

 

[bricol]

I gave up going to these things once I realised I could usually buy new cheaper than the worn out, rusty, damaged, out of date, knock-off, borderline illegal crap being sold at them

Its said in jest as it got a great reaction a few months ago.
We would just be sat at home so we go and wander around and meet up with like minded people, a bit like on here but outside.
We usually see the usual suspect and he who cant be named and have a good chat.

 

[brightspark]

yep we will be setting off at 5 thirty

Well it was great turn out, plenty of traders and public, got a few odds and ends including the much sought after Honda XL side panel, it was worth going just to get that.

Are you going soft ? Just go straight to the next one and set up camp just inside the gate, you will not miss anything then.

Bloke had a big shop display full of abrasives on a roll from a shop who sold it by the metre sold it for £60 which we felt was a bargain.
Got some quality Osram LED bulbs for Winchgirls car from the Bulb man who its a regular.

 

[winchman]
