    Regulations on car boot.

    Recently , noticed no meat man in attendance.
    Hey it's a market and yet they say you can't sell
    food.
    Don't know of any other car boot where there isn't 2, 3or 4 chuck wagons.
    Did notice the other week people with body cams and clip board walking round.
    Someone when asked , said they were checking because
    a number of boosters were coming from Lancaster and beyond.

    Went to Burscough car boot, last Sunday, and noticed a large white van with the signage covered with plastic and sticky tape!

    About time this car boot is visited by the DWP, HM Customs, etc. 95% of people who go to these are scum who want to rip off joe public, you know the types " Got any GOLD!!! Got any SILVER!!! Got anything of any value so i can rip you off!!!" Then you have the Benefit cheat market trader types. The guy who runs these. He is the head of the car boot mafia around here, same moblie number for most of the car boots in the paper, time for these type of sales to be banned.

    All these large organised Car Boot Sales need closing down, they are totally unregulated and unregulatable due their transient nature.
    Why anybody would buy meat at one is beyond belief similarly these 'Chuck Wagons' - known in America as Roach Wagons.

    Does that seem a bit suspicious to you? I would be highly tempted to rip off the sticky tape!

    They used to be fun - but now they are just boring. Too many new goods for sale, or just plain expensive junk. I have not been for ages, neither as a seller or buyer.

    Burscough car boot is full of nicked stuff. I'm glad it's not on tomorrow because of the rain. Looks like all the benefit cheat market trader types will not be making money. LOL.

    Car Boots

    I haven't been to Stanley High car boot for about 4 years, the last time I went it was full of people selling virtually new stuff or complete junk with stupid prices. I reckon the infection must be spreading.
    The last time I went to the Banks one about 9 years ago, there were all sorts of traders selling meat, vegetables , brand new tools in packets marked with brand names such as Draper and Stanley etc. Not meaning drills and stuff. Stuff like screwdrivers, bradawls, files and the like.

    Car boot sales should be for your everyday joe to sell their unwanted stuff as long as its in good nick
