Car boot was cancelled this weekend due to the bad weather that we had all week so a decision was made to cancel Sunday's car boot The forecast for Sunday was bad for all day.
With no car boot to do I went to a local Cafe with my computer thought I not waste the day and spent the next six hours doing some film edits and tying up the files on computer unbeknown to me the sun had come out to play and the day had turned out to be a belter.
The car boot, however, had been cancelled and was on the facebook page telling the sellers not to turn up I feel a little sorry for the organisers of the event because of the posts that he sometimes receives on Face book.
The point is if he does cancel and the weather brightens up every moans that they missed a selling opportunity but if he gives it the thumbs up and the sellers turn up and set out the stalls and then it pisses down they moan that they paid to get in and him knowing it was going to rain so all he wanted was the gate money and the event has been a washout .
A big car boot like this takes some organising all the porta loos need cleaning the helpers need to be there for the traffic control
This car boot attacks 300 plus sellers with upwards of a thousand punters on good weeks and about 70 sellers and 300 punters on a bad day.
Yes, it is a pain setting up shop only for it to be rained off but I'm sorry all you sellers ( me included ) you choose to be a car boot seller if you can't cope get yourself a High Street Shop or better still buy a farm and run a car boot yourselves.
