Traders are a pest at car boot sales, we set up at a couple a few years ago and the traders are round you like flies, trying to get the pick of what is on sale before the average buyer appears, one trader nearly got a sore face from one of the sellers as he would not take a telling and back off until the guy was organised. With reference to prices on second hand sellers stands, I never just give the marked price, the trader will usually sell at less. I offered £20 recently for four Peco points that were priced at £6.50 each, trader accepted without any haggling. Jim

It’s the Cup Final, and a man makes his way to his seat right next to the pitch. He sits down, noticing that the seat next to him is empty. He leans over and asks his neighbour if someone will be sitting there. ‘No,’ says the neighbour. ‘The seat is empty.’ ‘This is incredible,’ said the man. ‘Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Final and not use it?’ The neighbour says, ‘Well actually the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Cup Final we haven’t been to together since we got married.’ ‘Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. That’s terrible….But couldn’t you find someone else, a friend, relative or even a neighbour to take her seat?’ The man shakes his head. ‘No,’ he says. ‘They’re all at the funeral Jim
