Podcast 154 - Lord of the autojumble

Jonny has been to a very special car event and, oh goodness, he has seen some things. Features inexplicable statues, a grand wizard, a box of marionettes, anaphylactic Paul Young, red meat ghosting, miniature steam engines, retro grumble mags, a greyhound in a puffa jacket, an owl rescue van, an airbrushed Sprinter, and an awful, awful discovery in a bag for life. Also in this episode, Lionel Richie’s woo, chenille armchairs, Roseanne phones, badly placed hotel plug sockets, and the lost art of the telephone table.

Comments

Future Youtube episode of S&S at an autojumble incoming (we hope)

Jon Connorton

I cry-laughed at this week’s ep. “Owl rescue”. Amazing. Thank you. You two HAVE to go to some of these together. Then go back to a hotel and fill up on a belly full of merlot and record a pod discussing your findings.

Alex Packer

Me neither. Keep them coming!

Ed Storer

I work at a German software company and they sometimes translate things... interestingly... one day our employee to employee "Want Ads" become "Jumble". At first I thought it was a code word for some new development.. turns out they coudln't find "Want Ads" so the translated it in google and came up with "Jumble" which I, as an American had not heard before... (in that context) at that time.

Andy Pinchock

I never get tired of S'lord Alan Sugar impressions.

The Caterer

When shopping with the ole man when I was a kid when we would walk through the perfume section, he would drop his guts (fart) and say lets test out how good they are.

Stephen Voss

My late brother, who passed away last August, always smoked his cigarettes as Richard described. Cupped from the weather. No matter the weather or if he was outside or not. I sure do miss him.

Darren B McLellan

I kind of think the “no offence to anyone” at 46:30 is a bit superfluous? unlikely to save Jonny from the massed torches and pitchforks at his next autojumble.

Jim Galbraith

On the basis of this podcast, if the choice was scrap all my classics, or have to buy anything from an autojumble I was required to attend, I’d be off to the weighbridge like a shot 😩

Ant Brown

I also have to know, was the lady with the wolves airbrushed on her van; is also wearing one of those not available in any High Street store 'wolves at night' print fleeces?

John Hammond

Going back to that episode from 2021 to re-listen!!

Steve Morton

This should be an ongoing series, Smith and Sniff at Autojumbles 😂

Kieran Nash

They were a John Peel session band weren't they?

John Hammond

Think that will need to be a barn find.

John P

HI Viz urinals?

John P

I'm glad I was listening to this from the safety of my sofa, I think if it had been in the car I'd have veered off the road laughing.... You need to meet at the South Cerney steam show near Circencester in August. It's got the traders and jumble, vehicle displays and stationary engines on display all in one open field (thankfully portaloos provided).

John Hammond

another great cast, but i looked at the photos before listening, and was hoping for a little more detail on owl rescue

Karl Moltrecht

Up there with Santa Pod Sleepover for grizzly detail.

Matt Tester

Jonny, Mike Brewer would be proud of how you're teaching the tricks to your Nephew. Actually, you should get Mike to come along next time but keep him hidden until you've closed a sale. Then he can jump out with a needlessly aggressive handshake. There's a Land Rover spares day near Oakham on the 23rd, surely the absolute choice nutters will be found there. Maybe Richard can come and buy Land Rover parts he doesn't want.

Matt Tester

Over here in North America an autojumble is just called a “swap meet”. Autojumble sounds much more interesting.

Ed Nicholson

You should do a video at an autojumble.

John P

One of the best. The full, leaving nothing out, inside story on Auto Jumbles go no further than this episode. As enjoyable as ever. Thanks guys

Steve Morton

I’m desperate to buy a racehorse and name it ‘Alan canterer’

Ben Hanford

Chenille armchair? Nah… can you get an Alan Cantara one?
