Fake goods are big in England, they are especially sold on car boot sales and market stalls, probably because you can be there one week and gone the next!
While we were on a car boot sale last year, it was raided by customs and excise, and 8 stalls were shut down!
They went in, seized every item of goods and arrested the stall owners, and transported them to a mini bus, whilst they brought in more arrested owners and goods....the bus was pretty full by the end of it!
The government is trying to get the message across to Brits that it's not acceptable to buy fake goods, but not many people are changing the way they think, and fake sales continue!
