Last time I went to attend this, then cancelled it at the last minute, so we're just turning people away as they arrived! I want to sort through my stuff and go as a seller. Was it busy?

It was quite busy yes, I went to look for saddles I can buy cheap and do up to sell on.
There was some new stuff there but the amount of crap was amazing!
I've chucked better stuff away.
People were buying what to me was very obviously dodgy and potentially dangerous saddlery without any care in the world.I liken it to buying and getting in a second hand old banger without checking the brakes and steering and finding out the hard way.
I offer free saddlery safety checks as well as marking saddles to help against theft yet VERY few people bother to take me up on it.
All I ended up buying was a burger for my wife and cheesy chips for me!

I ate in a pub in (I think) Chiswick that had old saddles converted into bar stools. I'll see if I can dig out the photos. Coat hooks on the wall were made from old horseshoes.
