wasted journeys

[bigpaul]

went to a car boot at Lympstone(on the Exmouth road)today, for the SECOND time when we got there we found it was CANCELLED, was a big sign in our local market for it on Tuesday..2 days later its cancelled?..WTF? i'm going to have words next Tuesday when I see the stallholder who runs it.....40 miles each way wasted!!! anyway we were so cheesed off we have decided to go to CHEDDAR car boot/Market next sunday....at least I KNOW that ones running even if its further.

I've a good mind to ring Cheddar car boot and get it cancelled and hang about just to see your face when you get there, it'd be worth the long journey just for that.

Make the journey as important as the reason for making it. Keep your eyes open for what ever might be of interest to you.

People sell their unwanted items from the `trunk` [boot] of their cars,..although these days they have expanded that in many places to include tables, under canvas or even into buildings in some cases..... I miss car boot sales, we dont get many up here

Boot = Trunk... Bonnet = hood
