I think it's a sale at, rather than of. a smallholding, Bloomer.

And therefore you can buy loads of stuff that "might" be useful in the future and could easily be stored under your bed until the 'future'.

I still have 3 broken chainsaws that I bought at such a sale when I was living in a flat in the centre of Aberdeen because I knew I might find a use for them in the future!

....and yes you can buy a whole load of cr&p for inflated prices.... on one of them I watched a guy bidding for feeding troughs for sheep and he ended up paying more than he would have for new ones down at the wood merchants...

I stopped going as it was a waste of half a day...

We might go - would be nice to meet other smallholders there. I hope when we retire lots of you smash open your piggy banks and come to our roup  :thumbsup:

Not got anything to do with Smallholding BUT the Bill McLaren match day sheet would be a collectors item as would the pair of curling stones that have been played at 3 grand matches :excited:
That would mean that they were at Loch Leven in 1959 and Menteith in 1963 and 1979 which was the last Grand Match played outside.  Bring on a long cold winter! :excited: :cold:

Anyone want two wooden washboards with glass in front?  Never used  :innocent: 

Bought them at the outgoing roup when we bought our wee farm in Aberdeenshire in 1994 - tradition that the incomer buys stuff, so we went a wee bit daft.  :eyelashes:

Great fun though and sometimes free drinks and eats.
