Went to an antique fair today, near me, not been to one for years. Mark Stacey had a stall. I said 'oo i watch you on Bargain Hunt' :) Had a long chat he seems a really nice guy.

  • Baggy BooksBaggy Books

  • doradora

    You don't need any encouragement!!!

    PS What were you like at school?
  • doradora
    punctual, clean uniform, homework always done neatly and in on time, Straight 'A's on EVERYTHING i did,

    :)

    loved story writing in English :)

    hated The Merchant of Venice, though I did get a trip to Stratford on Avon out of it. :)

    adored my Maths teacher, :) but hopeless at maths. :(
  • JennyJenny
    Truly?
  • doradora
    truly madly sheepily "baaaaaaaaa"
  • JennyJenny
    And there I was imagining you as the naughty girl of the class, sitting in the back row and getting up to mischief!
  • doradora
    silly billy you. ;)
  • NefertariNefertari
    Yep that's him!
    My photo with him is on my blog here is the link.

    Lovely photo of you both!
  • doradora
    yes it is a nice photie, kateyanne. :)
  • JennyJenny
    Did you buy anything from him?
  • NefertariNefertari
    No he mainly had china things which I am not in to I collect powder compacts now and found two Stratton ones on another stall.
  • JennyJenny
    I'm glad you found something you wanted!
  • NefertariNefertari
    There's a big antiques fair at Ardingly next week so hope to find more there. You never know I might see Mark again they may even be filming Bargain Hunt!
  • B DarterB Darter
    Judging by his appearances on Flog It and Bargain Hunt I suspect he has a wicked sense of humour. I just wish he would get his teeth cleaned up.
  • doradora
    Why B? Are they for sale too?
  • Baggy BooksBaggy Books
    Oh yes, I know what B Darter means.

    He belongs on the Icky fred.
  • doradora
    Eurgh.
  • NefertariNefertari
    i didn't notice anything...
  • doradora
    Not even the spinach .... ?
  • JennyJenny
    Poor old Mark. If he was in a US TV show, he'd have to have teeth that were so white they glowed!!
  • NefertariNefertari
    He probably can't afford it he doesn't get much for doing BH hence the stall in the antique fair.
  • JennyJenny
    Is that what he told you? :)
  • NefertariNefertari
    his friend told me who was on a stall next door.
  • B DarterB Darter
    Kateyanne, have you fancied going on Bargain Hunt? They are always asking for contestants.
  • JennyJenny
    That's a good idea. It would be great to see a TBer making a profit - or not!
  • NefertariNefertari
    Oh yes I applied last year to go on with my daughter. Mark said there is a two year waiting list.

    You should send that photo to Best, kateyanne - see the 'which magazines for tips' thread.
  • doradora
    What would the tip be about? Teeth whitening?
  • NefertariNefertari
    Which thread Heather? Do you think they would be interested in it then?

    Don't know if that link will work - it's currently on p2 and is called 'Shellw - anyone - which magazines for tips etc'

    Just thought it might be an idea as he is quite a well known and seemingly pleasant guy - and £50 is £50!
  • NefertariNefertari
    Yes you're right I will try it thanks Heather!
  • JennyJenny
    Good luck with it, Kateyanne!
  • NefertariNefertari
    Thanks. Done it!
  • heatherheather
    Good luck!
  • NefertariNefertari
