Car Boot Megathread 2011 - Please see first post for details of Car Boots

70p to get in what a joke car boot sales are milking it big time they used to be free

 

The likes of Paces, Tesco & Hillsborough Arena are free. This is the first one to my knowledge that people (buyers) have been charged to enter the car boot. It makes you wonder how many people are willing to pay to look around a car boot. I'm not saying that it will be bad, but I'd like to see how many people do pay and how successful being charged is. So before I make an opinion I'm going to see how it goes.

Twin Oaks is April to October.

 

Dread to think how much admission will be this year.

 

And as for having the back of your hand stamped to nip out to the toilets...

 

Words fail me.

found this by doing a search on Google. Information about Marsh Lane and some other car boots can be found on here

 

According to the information on the above map, this link shows a map of where Marsh Lane is.

That link looks useful. Unfortunately the info about Marsh Lane is wrong. It def isn't on all year round. You can contact the organisers by phone. The number is listed on the first post.

Went to nearly new sale babies clothes and equipment at st Thomas Church in Crookes. It is such an inappropriate place for mothers with small children, it kind of looses the effect of being sale for children.

There were so many stairs and narrow pathways to walk so impossible to get the push pram. Not child friendly accessible at all.

But I have to thank the sale helpers ladies who were so helpful, without their help we could have not been able to do it.

Did anyone make it to the King Edward VII car boot/fun day today?

I walked up the hill to Glossop Road, and it was deserted! Only on getting back, did I find there's another King Edward VII school in Crosspool.

 

 

Also, been wanting to check out Marsh Lane for the last couple of years, are there any recommended bus routes that head out that way at that time in the morning?

 

Love this thread btw... always bookmark the new one each year, and check it ruthlessly during the week
