I'm a Car-Boot Sale Addict

Let's agree that it's not much fun shopping in most shops anywhere. The thing is, big cities throughout the world are beginning to look more and more similar. In almost every one, you will find branches of the same global chains of shops and fast food restaurants — Gap, Benetton, Starbucks and McDonald's. As the chains corner the market, lots of little shops go out of business and the world becomes a little bit more predictable and boring. Chains will never surprise you. You always know what you'll get before you even walk through the doors. It's getting harder and harder to find something unusual or different there, which is why I'm a car-boot sale addict.

Every weekend, in car parks, fields and even school yards all over Britain, thousands of people unload the contents of their car boots onto small tables and sell off all the things they've wanted to get rid of for ages. The prices are usually made up on the spot, and bargaining is part of the fun. You can really get something extraordinary — old records, books, collections of love letters and even unbelievably cheap antiques.

So if you are fed up with wasting money in a big chain where a cup of coffee may cost about three pounds, say goodbye to big business and hello to the world of car-boot sales.
