Village Fetes/Markets

I have just wasted 2 and a half hours sitting at a stall at the yearly Village Market here, for a measly few pounds what a waste of time that was!

Does any1 actually go to these things anymore i mean i understand that the England Match is on and all but thats y it opened early and finished early.

What bout u guys? any1 go to their local fetes? or Markets?

Its a good place to go to spot the insane person

I use use to sell off our useless crap there occasionally. It's amazing the crap that people will pay for.

For instance, I had the tourist information book you could grab from any tourist information centre for free. This book was water damaged and this woman decided to talk me down to 20 cents.

this was fundraising for scouts tho used to be one of our main sources each year..... not anymore

Sausage sizzles. Sell them for a dollar or two in Oz. Another dollar for a can of the fizzy drink.

yeh we have done well wi barbeques before but we have to buy all the stuff and if we don't get any1 to buy it then we have lost money

plus we have a Cub leader who likes to dip his hand into the money tin and decides to take food and whateva we have left home with him
most of us kno! he is doing it but we cannot prove it, plus my dad the Group Scout Leader is spineless and won't do anything about it

so glad the leader wasn't there today or we would probably have lost sometthing today too
