Bolton Car Boot Sale now takes place each Wednesday and people head to one particular trader
It's been a while since I last visited a car boot sale. The early morning starts and haggling over prices for my children's toys wasn't something I was eager to do again soon.
Items ranged from clothing - one seller was advertising 'all ladies clothes 50p' - to trainers, toys, tools, toilet rolls , plants, video games, and everything in between. There was even someone selling wheelchairs for a steal at £30 each. His lively banter over the microphone is a hit as it broadcasts the day's bargains. One customer in front of me snagged '£80 worth of tomahawk steaks' for just £30 and even bagged a free roll of beef.
Laden with my weighty purchase, I trudged back to my car, overhearing a woman on her phone excitedly announcing 'the meat man's here'. His popularity is so widespread that even the car boot sale organisers felt compelled to confirm on Facebook last week: "So many people asking. Yes, yes the meat man will be here every Wednesday and Sunday."
