Surviving Autojumbles for Women

• 

While visiting the Autojumble at Beaulieu this weekend, you might well pass the stand of Antonia Davison, a lovely lady who is a regularly stand holder at autojumbles, fairs and shows all over England. Accompanied by her partner John Firth, who is into cars, of course, she sells all kinds of merchandise which are more of interest to the women, accompanying their husbands. As these husbands inevitably get lost during the day, and as the ladies are not always as keen on carburetors, oil pumps or other rusty car parts, Antonia gives them the opportunity to do some shopping in their fields of interest. 

Antonia's maiden name is De Kok and if you have the impression that this name sounds rather foreign, you are correct: Originally she is from The Netherlands, but she's living in the UK for many, many years now. Still, she likes to talk Dutch if the opportunity arises, so therefore this call to visitors coming from Dutch-speaking areas all over the world: find her stand and give her a few minutes of Dutch conversation!
