So yes I went to a car boot sale over the weekend
and yes I did buy various bits of other people junk
Some I will use, some need dismantling and keeping the goody parts and odd bits will go to recycling (where they probably should have gone in the first place)
But
I am now the proud owner of a 1921 copy of an Entirely New Edition of the Handy Boys Book by John Barnard (assisted by many experts)
Perhaps my skills in Hectographs, how to fit an electric bell, how to make a telephone, how to make a toothbrush or pen rack out of old tin cans and how to make a cardboard locomotive will improve.
I bet you wish you had beaten me to it or outbid my 50p?
