[00:06.19]2 While you read
[00:11.05]I'm a car-boot sale addict 1 and proud of it!
[00:16.40]Let's face it.it's not much fun shopping in most shops anymore.is it?
[00:24.14]The thing is,cities all over the world are starting to look more and more similar.
[00:31.19]In almost every one,you find branches of the same global 2 chains of shops and fast food restaurants-
[00:39.97]Gap,Niketown,Benetton.McDonald's,the Body Shop and Starbucks.
[00:48.80]As the chains corner the market,lots of little shops go out of business,
[00:55.93]and with evey one that goes bankrupt,
[01:00.66]the world becomes a little bit duller and more predictable,
[01:06.22]Chains will never surprise you in any way.
[01:11.08]You know exactly what you'll get before you even walk through their doors.
[01:17.92]It's getting harder and harder to find unusual,
[01:23.57]interesting,or even just different things out there...
[01:29.94]and that's really why I'm a car-boot sale addict.
[01:36.10]Every weekend,in fields,car parks and school yards all over Britain,
[01:43.97]thousands of people unload 3 the contents of their car boots onto little tables
[01:51.23]and sell off all the old junk 4 they've been meaning to get rid of for ages.
[01:57.50]The prices are usually made up on the spot,
[02:02.46]and haggling 5 over them is part of the fun.
[02:07.01]If you get there early enough,you can pick up some amazing bargains -old records.
[02:15.76]out of print books,vintage clothes.incredibly cheap antiques 6.
[02:23.80]On top of all that,there's lots of other strange bits and pieces to make you think:
[02:31.46]old photograph albums,collections of old love letters,second-hand glass eyes.
[02:40.24]You can find anything and everything at these places.
[02:45.59]So next time you get fed up with being ripped 7 off by a big chain
[02:52.36]which thinks three pounds is a fair price for a cup of coffee,
[02:58.23]say goodbye to big business and hello to the world of car boot sales!
