MY husband and I decided to do a bootsale on Saturday. We have actually done quite a few in the past. However, we didn't realise it on the day, but on Sunday we discovered that we had a fake £20. We all know that you need to be vigilant at bootsales.

Be aware that these criminals know what they are doing. We were in the process of packing up, and wanting to get away, when this woman came up to me wanting to buy one item at £1. Normally, I would not give change for £1 but I did, unfortunately. To this woman I say this: What goes around comes around. I’ll remember your face.
