to-day's car boot score

[Frank Elson]

Not a lot really... 7mm nut driver, fits Jubilee clips on this side of the pond. I took the pic before cleaning the rust off.
10 and 11 mm six sided sockets - finish up one set
11 mm 12 sided socket - starting another set
a couple of 3/8 drive allen keys - part way through a set.

£2 the lot.

not bad, the boot fairs down here are shite for tools.. conversations go like this.
Me: how much for these pliers mate?
Them: £25
Me: What?
Them: £25 do you know what they are? they're snap-on them.
Me: Do you know where you are? we're in a field here.

I've given up, local farmers auction has more deals to be honest.

Those should clean up nicely though.

Is a car boot like a flea market?

I'm down in sussex, right next to the south of england show ground.
erm.. a car boot sale is basically a big field full of people selling stuff to one and other from stalls which are basically their car boot.

A car boot is what we call the trunk. I understand the boot sales are kind of like flea markets where they sell stuff out of the trunk.

I've written about car boot sales a few times in the distant past.

Flea Markets in the UK tend to be antiques. Car boot sales are household junk - folks bring tables these days (an "indoor car boot sale" ?) and the trick is to look under the table for the box full of old tools.

What a bargain mate! Be sure to add some more piccies once you have finished the clean up.

 

[Mike83]

Thanks for the explanation guys!
