Munchh, thou art a bastard
You seem to have much better Carboots where you are.
Either that or I miss all the good stuff because I loath mornings

Re: BOOTSALE FINDS
if you want the bargains you gotta get there early!!
when we go to the Exeter one(starts at 7am) we are up at 0500 and on the road by 0600!!
the (early) morning is the best part of the day!!! 
Adapt or Die, there is no middle ground.

The only way I see two 5 o'clocks is to stay up all night

Indeed it's similar here, I haven't been for years though. it was ideal for kids clothes but I'm tempted, I'd heard someone picked up a shotgun cheap at one once ( amazing he had his certificate with him) may be worth a look again methinks
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.
