while I'm on it: £186K to look like this.
And she is only 32 years of age. 32. Honestly society is done for. £186K later and this is the result ????
Council in need of counselling. Seriously, someone must have some sort of mental issue to do that to themselves. Or perhaps I'm not inclusive enough.while I'm on it: £186K to look like this.

There’s some serious engineering in those bras.
I often think bras have a lot in common with the suspension on mobility scooters.Faust66 said:

Car boot sales. Probably been mentioned on here before.
Having a garden party with the clan coming over from Wales (her side of the fam, not mine), probably 20 or 30 people so I thought I'd pop down to the local car boot sale, see if I could pick up a trailer full of old garden furniture, use it for the weekend then burn it or give it away or something.
So off I went, 6.30 yesterday morning.
It was so, SO bad. So many boxes ticked.
Lots of fat people. Eating burgers at 7am. And queuing 10-deep for the privilege.
Lots of mobility scooters/crutches.
Lots of dogs/rats on leads.
Lots of awful tattoos (I have nowt against tats per se, have 2 myself).
Even worse haircuts.
People haggling over a 20p ashtray stolen from a pub.
People selling clearly broken old toot - why the flying feck do they not just take it to the tip?!
Zafiras, Picassos and old POS BMW t
tboxes everywhere.
People with tables full of stolen car stereos.
Single (stolen) alloy wheels on a few stalls.
Women, about 40 years old, looking 80 due to UV wrinkles, an absence of bras, and a permanent market-trader scowl.
Women, about 80, dressing like a 14 year old girl.
Wolves on t-shirts.
Kids with surnames for first names everywhere. "'Ere, look 'Arrison, you like them fackin' toys dontcha? Take 10p mate?"
The whitest of white trainers.
Roll-up fags everywhere.
People driving (racing) diagonally across the car park field to get right to the front of the queue.
There is probably more. I felt filthy when I came away, purchase-less. I will get hay bales delivered from the local farming professional instead.

Are carboot sales a predominantly English/British institution?
There is a big one held on a Sunday on a farm just off the A3, I don't attend but if I'm working I drive past it, the type of people that attend just look awful, plus they will cross 6 lanes to of fast moving traffic to get there; so dangerous.

I went to a couple last year, purely as kids get up early but were no fun, so gave up.
People/driving standards were fine, it is the lack of genuine private sellers that made it a waste of time.
All professional traders/home clearance companies/tradesman with a sideline (as evidenced by the signed vans parked up behind them) wanting to make some tax free cash. And some were essentially mini supermarkets with their laid out bulk deals on shampoo, beauty products, packs of biscuits and so on.
These were proper sites on farms and fields though, will try local school type ones if spot any. Any southerners been to the one in Shepperton? as that is advertised as a genuine commercial free affair.

I was in a small town in the Netherlands a few years ago and came across a kind of boot sale in the corner of a town square - only it was for kids to recycle their old/grown out of toys. They were busy laying out their old stuff for sale, then dashing off to convert their earnings into new toys. The parents seemed to be taking fairly little part in it. It seemed a lot of fun all round, and certainly taught the kids how to value their possessions and look after stuff to maximise its resale value. Definitely not council at all.
