Ive done a couple to try and get rid of some crap from the house rather than tipping it. What boils my piss more than anything is when you have twats raking through your boot while you are trying to set up, just in case they miss something.
Oh and the families/groups that hanf around until the end and try and buy whats left for 10p. Glorified jumble sales at the end of the day

It's often the other stall holders trying it on, it didn't take our lass long to tell them to fuck off.

As close to raking through her knicker draw as you can get

Anywhere else it would be classed as trespass or something I suspect

She learnt that the regulars do it all the time with the newbies, buy stuff for buttons then put it on their own stall for two or three times as much.
She isn't fucking daft the second time that she did a sale they were told to fuck off in no uncertain terms.

Wasn't sure what other word to use, newcomers just didn't seem right somehow.

Actually, I quite agree! "Newcomer", does sound quite wrong.

"Friends! Look see that there newcomer! Let us go forth and impress ourselves upon her naivety and ignorance to acquire her shiny baubles to sell to good local folk at inflated prices, thus belittling her, as we do with all newcomers and their ill conceived business plans"

They've been killed by the internet. Used to love them when I was younger but now you've got bot all chance of unearthing a bargain because everyone can get a value on an item at the touch of a button.
