Noorie Pavrez - Trader
“The Sellers has to queue for hours to get in for the Wednesday 10am Start. So we’d park up, then head over to the cafe for a big hearty fry-up! So much community spirit, from people just like me, addicted to eclectic things, bohemian sorts, artists, wheeler-dealers earning a crust. (The local City workers rich enough to buy homes around here, weren’t usually part of the community spirit. Maybe they used local gyms and supermarkets, but I rarely saw them at the car boots or cafes...
.... after we returned to sit queuing in our cars, Trade Buyers would peer into our windows and selectively purchase prime bits they could see. Much trading took place prior to the actual opening! If you were a Buyer, there were professional Clearance companies; whose vans were loaded with someone’s lifetime collections and house contents. I loved English china, and always bought well there.”
