ilkolad 9 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Jumble Sales! .. remember these?.. it used to be a regular occurence on a friday, get the post and seek out the weekend jumbles. there was usually a good one on somewhere or the other, either at Wilford village hall , West Bridgford, or Trowell etc .. you'd queue up for around two hours until the doors were finally flung open, and once you'd braved the tumultuous stampede towards the trestles, it was every man for himself.. but you could always rely on a bargain of some description, swanky patent leather shoes / umbrella's / lampshades / the bargains were endless, and it's very seldom you'd spend more than two bob! nowadays it's the boot sales that reign supreme, but somehow they're not quite the same as the old jumbles, where one had to fend off the stiff competition to glean that silver plated cruet set, brillcreme dispenser, or sparklets soda syphon.. but the outcome is still the same, you come home with bags full of junk which is neither use nor ornament - and the difference being today, you'll be £10 lighter in the process!
