CARBOOT SALE ROW

 


[for all our new readers - some of whom still don't quite 'get it' - be sure to dose up with a kilo of salt before reading this one]

A row's broken out over who can and can't have a stall at the big Easter Sunday carboot sale in Huish Episcopi a week today.

Organiser Greg Bown [pictured and who's asked not to be named] risked being 'cancelled' last night after turning down a request for a sourdough bread stall at the event.

Known for his mild manner and diplomatic style, Mr Bown, who chairs the South Somerset Anti-Gentrification League, told reporters anyone wanting to sell middle class bollocks could "f**k off"

"I don't want painted bathroom tiles, designer doormats or cupcakes either" said the 44 year-old from his office at Socialist Worker Magazine.

The Langport man, who also chairs the Sleep in a Pub Club and the Justice for Priest Lane Society, says the carboot sale is a purely working class event and that anyone attempting to sell a vintage watering can for 45 quid should "bugger off back to the town hall"

That's us told then.

There are no further details.
