Really wish I could afford a car. All the boot sales within range of Sunday morning busses aren't the sort i'd ever expect to find reamers or even drill bits at.

I'd be amazed to find anything like an end mill at a garage/tag/lawn sale here. Or silver solder.
However if you like jigsaw puzzles, aquariums missing one pane of glass, Lawrence Welk LP's, plastic tricycles, ashtrays, or assorted VHS exercise tapes, this is a paradise for that sort of thing.
Nice haul, Rob!
(especially the silver solder....)

Well i've just had a great weekend. Was taking apart a neighbour's washing machine when the neighbour opposite noticed and came over and helped me get the drum bearings out without destroying them. Turned out he had a drawer full of bearings and offered me any I thought I could make use of.
Anyways feeling enthusiastic I headed to the Swalwell car boot sale to try my luck. Just at the very end a fella was selling a frame level for £60, which was a good price I figure but more than I could afford. I had a bit time to wait for the bus so I head back to ask if he'd take anything less, or if I could have his phone number in case I decide I want it. But then the guy offered the smaller level he'd been hiding for £20 and I snapped it up.
There's a good Geordie saying, "Shy bairns get nowt". It never hurts to ask.
