Car boot sale=Flea market

Sunday mornings are not what they used to be. Now, all over the UK, people don't stay in bed like before, they get up and go out to a special kind of sale called a 'car boot sale'. They have to arrive early to get the best choices of goods and by lunchtime everyone has bought what they want or bought nothing and is on the way home.

A 'car boot sale' is usually held on a field or in a big open space and has many market stalls selling second hand goods. People take their used items from home that they don't want and sell them at car boot sales. Everything is sold cheaply, of course, and there is a wide range and a lot of choice. For a few pounds, one can buy clothes, teapots, cd's, musical instruments, ornaments and even some electrical equipment.People, who go to car boot sales, go there for different reasons; some to save money, some to look for items to add to their collections and some hoping to find a valuable antique.

Sometimes people sell goods from their homes without realizing they are antiques and customers with a good eye for old things can get something valuable for a very cheap price.Car boot sales are becoming more and more popular with the sellers, customers and people just there to look but not buy. It is an interesting morning out and a good way to recycle unwanted household goods!
