It's always difficult for me to start a new topic...not living in Manchester anymore....however...
I adore Car Boot Sales and Antique and Collectors Fairs. You just never know what you are going to find!!! (My hubbie says "a load of other peoples rubbish! "...which I know is true to a certain extent. Nothing much though beats the thrill of a 'find'. I am curious to know where in Manchester the best Car Boot Sales and Collector's Fairs are held. Has anyone here got a great bargain? Do you think ebay is killing of the Fairs and reducing the Boot sales to glorified jumble sales?
