I was disappointed to learn she's not from Tunstall since I used to live there.Quote:

Yeah I remember feeling the same way about this bloke.Quote:

Not actually listening to it right now, though I did play it in the car on my way home from the car boot. The only thing I bought, I got it because I heard something of theirs at NEBO and quite liked it.

Not exactly a bargain - cost just £1, but then another quid to park there, plus 20 miles worth of diesel. I'm done with car boots - every bit as disappointing as Barry describes. If you're in the market for snide perfumes, bog rolls or power tools by makers you've never heard of, you're sorted. Music Magpie all the way from now on, I can buy it for less without leaving the sofa.
I've got one of their T shirts but don't have any of their records...Quote:

Those power tools have often been stolen, or are 110V only.Quote:

Over the years I've had the power tools robbed from my van a few times. Never got anything back. And I never had any luck seeing them at car boot sales - mine probably end up at a booty 100 miles away, while the ones I'm seeing for sale were probably nicked 100 miles away.Quote:

All of the charity shops up here are rubbish. Plenty of Robbie Williams, Coldplay and Katie Melua. And a load of MOR pap that even at 67 I was born too late to appreciate.
