As a kid in the 70s and 80s, I used to get the Whoopie and Wizzer and Chips comics every week. I was a huge fan of them. Ended up giving them all to my nephew when I got older. Kinda wish I had kept them now.
Sheringham!! I used to go there on my holidays as a kid, there used to be an AMAZING model shop that had a T2 diorama with a black curtain, you stuck your head in the elasticated slit and inside was 3 1;6th scale T800 terminators in a future war landscape, led for eyes and the sounds of the lasers, amazing, every year I would go back until one year I was disappointed to see the shop had moved on, so poetic that now I do special effects for movies for a living. Really great channel Peter. Keep it up.
love your thrift videos, especially when you show the drive to etc. I live in the US and this is probably the closest I will get to that wonderful architecture.
Man, this episode was a real blast for me, thank you for making it. I have really, really fond memories of going to Starling's back in the day. I'm also still opening new boxes of goodies picked up from Arminghall from 6-7 years ago. Retro collecting was much easier and cheaper then, I remember getting my Amiga 500+ with 500 games for a fiver...ah, the dizzy heights of Norfolk car-booting.
I live in Southwest Florida (USA) and in Fort Myers is Fleamasters. It's quite an experience. If I'm correct it was built on the ground of a former prison and is a huge Flea Market. The last time I went there I found a gaming-focused stall that had a boxed Odyssey. I went there without any money (you know, things happen) so I didn't pick it up, but Fleamasters is a fun place to visit.
SMS converter for £40? Sod that, I got a SMS 2 converter boxed for the same price on eBay. And ooh, I've been looking for Connect Four on the Microvision for ages!
I was thinking exactly the same thing when seeing that price but again, it's different to just watch a YT video and to walk around looking for bargains, with a mindset of getting things cheap ;) at least that is how I feel being a Dutchie myself. Btw, keep up the creativity, love your vids. Hit me up if you are ever in need of some epic 8bit background music.
Hey, that type writer toy works with a dial, a bit like a label maker all the letters are on a wheel, you turn it then stamp it. It's barely functional but at the time was probably mind blowing!
Aladdin's Cave! OMG! We used to have one here in Cheltenham, but it got torn down and is now a sports shop. Where I live there used to be about 7 Aladdin's cave type shops, all now gone. We have 2 shops here in Cheltenahm that can be classed as Thrift stores. One is a PDSA (sell crap, clothes, cutlery, fake jewellery, nothing special,) and a Sue Ryder (also sells almost nothing but clothes, cutlery, books, and dolls. Occasionally they get in DVD, but nothing you can't get elsewhere. You are so lucky to have a proper Sue Ryder! Ours stopped selling electrical goods for "safety" reasons and the fact they had to ge them P.A.T tested before they could sell them which cost them money.) Oxfam has gone and Save The Children has gone.
I used to drive a Renault Scénic until about five years ago, until too many bits started breaking off and I got myself a considerably more delectable Astra GTC. It's good for kids, though.
Holy crap I got one of those Fly Pens a long time ago, and I remember never using it because the special paper for it was crazy expensive. I also remember using it mostly as an mp3 player lol.
Absolutely awesome...haven't even finished watching but I wish I was there scrambling to find a "deal." I wonder how many scalactrex stuff you see as well as commodore 64 and zx-spectrums or BBC micros?
Was that a Black Sabbath 8-track?! Wow, I would have looked through that pile and probably bought the lot. That would be worth *money*, especially here in North America, no matter what the condition.
Damn Tazos! They were a sensation in the 90's here in Brazil, the Pokemon ones blew up like the pox here! Great thrift anyway, that crazy pen will sure make an excellent episode of Oddwa... i mean... LMAO had to make this joke! Cheers!
i was just talking with someone on reddit about pharaoh - one of the best city builder, you are sure to have a very good time with it. Serpent of the staglands is a very, very good but very unforgiving rpb in the baldur's gate style - that was forgotten about back at realease because of the infinty engine games.
Also...how about "Micro-opoly?"...you know, microcomputer models for individual squares, companies for the colors...3d print some peripherals for hotels and houses etc
Done quite well at my local charity shop, and I DO like TFT, picked up a couple of spare monitors - my main desktop runs a 19" Hanns G from a charity shop - had some minor screen damage - also collected a 14 or 15 inch that I use as a sacrificial test monitor, and a couple of decent 17 inchers that may end up going away with a spare system. Speakers? To the pair of Goodmans Active 25 (amazing for such tiny boxes) that got allocated from "I only got them for testing" to being one of my favourite sets, they got superseded by an Altec Lansing 2.1 set for a tenner - now I actually have to turn the bass eq down, as they are very punchy and lack their own bass control. Also a very nice USB DVB-T dongle
Okay, I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath from 1995-1997. We used to go to the Snetterton park for the boot sales on Sunday. Being American, we called it the Market and it was usually great. My friends and I used to go there quite a bit while I was there for the cheap Doc Martins. Is there still a boot sale there?
I remember when RAF Edzell was decommisioned in 1996 they held some sort of boot sale/flea market type thing so the Americans could sell all of the stuff they couldn't take home. There was everything from pinball tables to power tools, my dad was like "Why would an American pilot have a black & decker sander?" and my sister said "Never mind that, where do you keep a pinball table on an F-16?" :D
I always wondered exactly what a "car boot sale" was. Now I know, it's what we Americans call a "flea market". They look much the same here with a similar mix of sellers, from people who look like professional sellers to those who looked like they just brought everything that they found in their attic. I've never seen much computer software at any of them here though. Occasionally someone will have 4-5 Windows games, but that's about it. No 80s software and usually nothing from the 90s either. Plenty of NES/SNES/Genesis/PSX/PS2/Xbox games though.
In case anyone was wondering what "follow tv" was. Follow TV copies the TV's channel orderThe video recorder or DVD recorder matches the stations and presets of your TV. Analogue: A signal comparison is made between TV and recorder via SCART cable. The user has to select every preset available on his TV set. Digital: The re-sorting is done completely automatically. Genius idea for idiots who cant tune a VHS. Rather large sticker for such a crap feature methinks.
Just fixed my laserdisc player. Usually dont see too good of titles anymore when you do see them out here but for "five point zero zero pounds" each ida probably got a couple if there was any good ones in there.
I've been to that jumble sale years ago. If the donut vans the one I think it is, they actually paid me once for eating there by giving me the wrong change. Got paid £25 for eating candy floss.
I've got the Telly Addicts board game on my bookshelf; it's sitting under my copy of Screwball Scramble. Not quite sure why or how I got the Telly Addicts game, it just seemed to show up one day...
Why oh why do car boot sales start so damn early? Early weekend mornings are for freaks! There is no reasoning behind it... If I get to my local boot sale any later than 7am all the good stuff is gone.
Surely they can start at say 10am and finish at 4 pm. Rather than starting at 6am and finishing lunchtime. There are some lazybones boot sales that do this. But unfortunately most Boot sales start dead early. This ruins the weekend I think. I think I'll start a campaign! ;)
Yeah. Thanks. I'll have a butchers. There are 2 lazybones ones relatively local to me. The issue have is the traders all buy from each other for the first hour at one of them. The other one is run by a retro game and toy shop. A chap who looks much like Chumlee from Porn Stars gets the good stuff before the public are let in. The rest of us all wait at the fence drooling like zombies. Alas, I'm probably too much of a Utopianist for my own health.
I'm surprised you have Salvation Army stores in the UK. They just recently built a big Salvation Army recreation, arts, & community center in my area dedicated to Ray & Joan Kroc(Ray was the founder of McDonald's) who have donated a lot of money and time to Salvation Army, but I rarely find anything decent at their stores.
Neighbors from Hell is a great game, I definitely recommend playing it, I used to play it as a kid and it's a lot of fun. Also, your daughter is adorable!
Mostly, back when Cash Converters used to sell goods in stores you could pick up a lot of retro games and the like for very cheap. Nowadays they are close to fleabay prices
I'm spotting what it could be an SCSI CD-ROM caddy at 2:28. Useful if you ever need to extract/read some cd's or harddrives into old Amiga/Silicon Graphics stuff. Also valued between the music producers community... Or it could be an odd and worthless printing accesory from the nineties. Here in Spain this style of martket is not the norm, but we've got some in the south thanks to you Brits living in the coastside. I've bought a couple of Speccys and Amstrads for 3 euros each there, though it's usually clothes and assorted crap.
You're right, that definitely is a CN50 SCSI connector on whatever that was! As a Mac collector with a pair of SGI machines as well I'm dying to find ANYTHING SCSI, anything at all.
My father was from the UK and amassed a sizable 8-track cassette collection which he brought to Canada (along with 2-and-a-half-year-old me) in 1977, but maybe his interest in the format was an anomaly.
I found one of those deluxe boxed 1980s Matchbox cars at a Value Village thrift store in Ottawa, Canada once. MB-4 "London Taxi". I'm not sure if it's nicer than the regular blister pack Matchbox cars but it does have a metal chassis (always a plus for me; modern Mattel Matchbox are almost always plastic chassis) and the rear doors open (though that was also fairly standard for Matchbox at the time).
Hi NN, like yourself I'am also a computer nostalgia nerd. I also frequent the 2nd hand shops in Sherringham, Cromer, Mundesley, North walsham and sometimes Norwich. I quite like the Kitali Uganda school charity shop in North walsham, have had some decent old flat panel moniters from there. It is sad to say that many of the charity shops don't do computers or many electricals any more They are mainly women's boutiques with a very small geezer section, ornament section, book and dvd areas, nothing like they should or used to be. I see you're a Norwich Lad, could you possibly recommend any descent places in Norwich to browse? Many Thanks Neil. Love the channel NN.
Yes, funny the "We're British", not calling it thrifting (how do British called it?) and that he got this from LGR. Would had been even better to ask LGR for a voice over saying something like "No he not". *g* I notice a lot that guys like Nostalgia Nerd, LGR, The 8-Bit Guy and others help each others out. And if anyone watched the Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) channel, he burned down a firework in his latest episode, showing probably ten other game reviewers having their fake cartridges exploding. LOL
Damn, you should have gotten that Jamie Oliver olive oil bottle, it would have made your olive oil so much better. ;) Also, lol, a coffee cup with a USB flash drive in it, just what I always wanted.
That one baby doll you zoomed in on...Thanks I didn't need to sleep tonight.
As a kid in the 70s and 80s, I used to get the Whoopie and Wizzer and Chips comics every week. I was a huge fan of them. Ended up giving them all to my nephew when I got older. Kinda wish I had kept them now.
As a Partridge fan, and fan of all things retro, this is gold.
Sheringham!! I used to go there on my holidays as a kid, there used to be an AMAZING model shop that had a T2 diorama with a black curtain, you stuck your head in the elasticated slit and inside was 3 1;6th scale T800 terminators in a future war landscape, led for eyes and the sounds of the lasers, amazing, every year I would go back until one year I was disappointed to see the shop had moved on, so poetic that now I do special effects for movies for a living. Really great channel Peter. Keep it up.
I think that this guy is actually LGR's secret British clone.
Here in the States, a lot of places will put a "we will kick your arse if you touch this piano" sort of sign on any piano in stock.
They had that. I knocked it off and ran.
Always love the GBR thrifts series. Glad you found some cool stuff and had fun doing it.
That tiberian sun ohhhhhh yea..... many hours on that beauty
love your thrift videos, especially when you show the drive to etc. I live in the US and this is probably the closest I will get to that wonderful architecture.
Two-way microscope huh? So while you stare at an onion skin the onion skin stares back at you?
Daughter of the Serpent, classic Lovecrafian point and click adventure! Been looking for the big box for years! You lucky so and so.
Great stuff mate I'm Lovin these thrift videos👍🏻👍🏻
the boot of your car looked like your were going to the carboot, not leaving it! 😂
Man, this episode was a real blast for me, thank you for making it. I have really, really fond memories of going to Starling's back in the day. I'm also still opening new boxes of goodies picked up from Arminghall from 6-7 years ago. Retro collecting was much easier and cheaper then, I remember getting my Amiga 500+ with 500 games for a fiver...ah, the dizzy heights of Norfolk car-booting.
£3 was a damn good deal on the NamCo gun Nerd. At an average of $15 on ebay you would have got it for a third of it's going price or better.
Leo Hale I bought a nice boxed one for I think £5
I live in Southwest Florida (USA) and in Fort Myers is Fleamasters. It's quite an experience. If I'm correct it was built on the ground of a former prison and is a huge Flea Market. The last time I went there I found a gaming-focused stall that had a boxed Odyssey.

Btw, keep up the creativity, love your vids. Hit me up if you are ever in need of some epic 8bit background music.
Larry Bundy Jr is it easy to thrift in England
Yeah i dont really get why those chaps even go to fleamarkets to sell so high-priced goods, fleamarkets are supposed to be dirt cheap....
£40 hahahahaha keep talking shit
Black Sabbath 4 - on 8 Track Cartridge - Nice!!
Hey, that type writer toy works with a dial, a bit like a label maker all the letters are on a wheel, you turn it then stamp it. It's barely functional but at the time was probably mind blowing!
Sheringham... omg. My brother and I used to on caravan holidays there in the 80's.
Nice Amiga goodies. Wing Commander ftw!
. . . . I had that set of Car Top Trumps, brought back some memories . .
Kewl video, british LGR! ;-)
And now I have a phobia of dolls. Wonderful...
Aladdin's Cave! OMG! We used to have one here in Cheltenham, but it got torn down and is now a sports shop. Where I live there used to be about 7 Aladdin's cave type shops, all now gone.

Oxfam has gone and Save The Children has gone.
I was a huge fan of Whoppie, School Fun and Whizzer and Chips back in the 70s and early 80s.
that namco gun was a bargain mate, the cheapest one of those on amazon is £15.50
Oh god, that namco gun is super expensive still on ebay, been looking for something like that for building my own arcade cabinet.
I have similar days at Ford Airfield.
Thursday mornings are best.
I want to try Brighton, but Markus Fuller has that tied up.
Enjoyed this vid. My partner had a flashback to when he went in a huff as a kid when "Dizzy Dizzy Dinosaur" popped up!
Wow... that tv u picked up is exact same one i had to in my room as a kid
Thought I'd watch some of the older videos. I just saw that screwball scramble game last week at a thrift store just outside Detroit.
I used to drive a Renault Scénic until about five years ago, until too many bits started breaking off and I got myself a considerably more delectable Astra GTC. It's good for kids, though.
I think that FLY pen is still a current-gen handwriting definition pen. They are fascinating. I personally own and use a Livescribe Echo.
Damn, this guy is the British LGR. Instant subscribe!!
Holy crap I got one of those Fly Pens a long time ago, and I remember never using it because the special paper for it was crazy expensive. I also remember using it mostly as an mp3 player lol.
Never had much luck with Magdalen Street's charity shops.
Absolutely awesome...haven't even finished watching but I wish I was there scrambling to find a "deal."
I wonder how many scalactrex stuff you see as well as commodore 64 and zx-spectrums or BBC micros?
Was that a Black Sabbath 8-track?! Wow, I would have looked through that pile and probably bought the lot. That would be worth *money*, especially here in North America, no matter what the condition.

Great thrift anyway, that crazy pen will sure make an excellent episode of Oddwa... i mean... LMAO had to make this joke!
Cheers!
aaahhh, how could walk past star wars toys , great videos
Lego Loco is a great game! I've never played Lego Stunt Rally, so I'd love to see a review of that!
i was just talking with someone on reddit about pharaoh - one of the best city builder, you are sure to have a very good time with it. Serpent of the staglands is a very, very good but very unforgiving rpb in the baldur's gate style - that was forgotten about back at realease because of the infinty engine games.

Also a very nice USB DVB-T dongle
Nice finds :) the Amiga games alone where a great find
I need to get to more carboot sales. I have an almost complete collection of those tazzo things. think I am missing 2.
This is a great series!
Okay, I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath from 1995-1997. We used to go to the Snetterton park for the boot sales on Sunday. Being American, we called it the Market and it was usually great.

We had something similar to the pog book here, only offered at SE Grocers owned shops. Star Wars cosmic shells.
7:14 Shutter shades baby ... Oh yeah! B)
That Sabbath Vol Four 8 track may have been worth something granted that the foam and all that was intact.
I always wondered exactly what a "car boot sale" was. Now I know, it's what we Americans call a "flea market".

I'd have got the 8-tracks and laserdiscs and sent them in the post to Techmoan

holy crap your car boot is way better than my local biggest I never see much retro/vintage stuff
Just noticed you are wearing my coat. Great style sir

Where you located the one i'm regular at is on saturdays and is open for buyers from 12:30 pm for £1 entry
That's more like it. I'm in Essex. It's quite competitive round here. Lots of people all looking for the same stuff
ah that sucks im in the east mids so too far have a search on car boot junction you might find one simular
Yeah. Thanks. I'll have a butchers. There are 2 lazybones ones relatively local to me. The issue have is the traders all buy from each other for the first hour at one of them. The other one is run by a retro game and toy shop. A chap who looks much like Chumlee from Porn Stars gets the good stuff before the public are let in.

11:30 what is that music from? I've heard it from a movie I forgot.
I wonder when a thrift simulator will pop up in steam greenlight.
Argiris Papadopoulos Thanks for the idea 😉
"Tat capacity reached. Build more storage."
Settlers, nice
Star Wars chess and Doctor Who figurines would be awesome to have.
I
£80 for a Wii not bad?! in what year? lol
Glad someone else thought this. I nearly choked on my beer when he said "not bad!"
Yeah, the Wii has dropped a lot since then. They've gone from being around £100 in 2008 to £10 in 2020.
that BoomBox was a buy mate!!! what were you thinking??!?!?
I'm surprised you have Salvation Army stores in the UK. They just recently built a big Salvation Army recreation, arts, & community center in my area dedicated to Ray & Joan Kroc(Ray was the founder of McDonald's) who have donated a lot of money and time to Salvation Army, but I rarely find anything decent at their stores.
Commodorefan64 The Salvation Army is English as anything, it literally started outside a pub in London.
Honestly did not know that, it's always good to learn something new about a good charity.
Dizzy dizzy dinosaurs was nowhere near as annoying as hungry hungry hippos!
How about Busy buzzy bumbles?
i had those speakers, absolute beasts!!
Tazo's FTW.
8:14 Boo! Art Attack was my Thing back in the day
Two-way microscope? What does that mean? Do the specimens examine you back? 🦠👀
You didn't pick up the Anglia TV badge!!!! Knightmare was such a cool programme.
Settlers was one of my favourite Amiga games - played that to death. Also, did that A-Team jigsaw say Cassette? What's that all about?
wasnt the Tony Hart show called Vision On?? used to watch that show all the time as a kid.
There was a "Vision On". There was also Hartbeat and Take Hart. Hartbeat ran from 1984 - 1993. Vision on 1964-1976.
Both Aladdin's Cave and Looses are a nightmare for creepy dolls
Norfolk's best... North Norfolk's best GBR thrifts.
Love your videos
Neighbors from Hell is a great game, I definitely recommend playing it, I used to play it as a kid and it's a lot of fun.
Also, your daughter is adorable!
Ah, North Norfolk, used to to Wells as a kid. Great haul, Australian charity shops are just full of crap :(
Mostly, back when Cash Converters used to sell goods in stores you could pick up a lot of retro games and the like for very cheap. Nowadays they are close to fleabay prices
Alan Partridge of Radio Norwich would be enjoyable. He is quite popular in the states.
I'm spotting what it could be an SCSI CD-ROM caddy at 2:28. Useful if you ever need to extract/read some cd's or harddrives into old Amiga/Silicon Graphics stuff. Also valued between the music producers community...

you've never heard of neighbors from hell ?
oh you're in for a doozy
this game was my childhood
4:19 Pye not P.Y.E. - a British brand, founded in Cambridge in 1896
Ah man you scored on those Amiga games...I went hunting on Monday...found nothing
But you sir have inspired me to get out again today
That tamiya model kit has been out of production for 30 years and sells for a fortune on eBay. I couldn't see the price though.
the best of Gilbert and Sullivan? Christ, I didn't think anyone other than Frasier would have a copy of that!
Hey, I had that osborne book!
My father was from the UK and amassed a sizable 8-track cassette collection which he brought to Canada (along with 2-and-a-half-year-old me) in 1977, but maybe his interest in the format was an anomaly.

Keep the videos coming.
Hi NN, like yourself I'am also a computer nostalgia nerd. I also frequent the 2nd hand shops in Sherringham, Cromer, Mundesley, North walsham and sometimes Norwich. I quite like the Kitali Uganda school charity shop in North walsham, have had some decent old flat panel moniters from there. It is sad to say that many of the charity shops don't do computers or many electricals any more They are mainly women's boutiques with a very small geezer section, ornament section, book and dvd areas, nothing like they should or used to be. I see you're a Norwich Lad, could you possibly recommend any descent places in Norwich to browse? Many Thanks Neil. Love the channel NN.
Love these vids. Really wish you'd stop the low voice lgr mimicking lines though.
But other than that, keep up the good work! 8)
Big LGR fan here, and I didn't notice that.
Yes, funny the "We're British", not calling it thrifting (how do British called it?) and that he got this from LGR. Would had been even better to ask LGR for a voice over saying something like "No he not". *g*
I notice a lot that guys like Nostalgia Nerd, LGR, The 8-Bit Guy and others help each others out. And if anyone watched the Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) channel, he burned down a firework in his latest episode, showing probably ten other game reviewers having their fake cartridges exploding. LOL
You don't have need for that fly boombox, but you do some silly b&w TV :P
You should've popped into Looses Emporium on Magdalen St.
Damn, you should have gotten that Jamie Oliver olive oil bottle, it would have made your olive oil so much better. ;)
Also, lol, a coffee cup with a USB flash drive in it, just what I always wanted.
wow! did you get gunship 2000? always wanted to play that!
Fantastic game, still play it on DOS
newly subscribed, love the videos it's exactly the stuff I gravitate to, had to go and dig out my tazos forgot I had them
In British parlance is 'garden' essentially just the backyard?
Nah, a yard is a smallish paved/concrete outside area. Back garden contains, at least some attempt at, grass + flowers + bush
hardwire187 Yes.
Ignore lalalanobody, yard and garden are interchangeable, one at front of house and one at the back.
