I take it it is road hardcore, not hardcore punk, hardcore dance or hardcore pron.

Pron??:rotfl:

Yes - the forum filters out the other word!

I could have said pörn instead, but I think people got what I meant.

WANTED: stuff for my nan
stuff for my nans new bungalow paint flooring settes curtains poles etc.

It's a shame that she doesn't know the word please or thank you, this has been on a couple of times now.
I would have thought that most Nans would by now have most of the above.

I do in fact have an etc, if only she had said please I would have gladly donated it.

no it was in Sheffield (not on freecycle technically but the 'wanted' section of our forum.)

Un - !!!!in' - believable.

Twice in a row now I have posted Offered ads on our local Freecycle and received multiple requests. I do the usual filtering (i.e. dump those that don't have the words Please or Thank You as part of their vocabulary, those that email in text speak etc) and have offered the items to the first polite responder.

Both times I have given them my phone number and asked them to call me to arrange collection. Both times I have got emailed replies telling me that they've got no credit and can I call them instead?

Needless to say they've hit the Trash bin faster than you can say Freecycle and I've soldiered on through the replies looking for someone who doesn't expect me to pay for their time.

The bare-faced cheek is one thing, but is there a national shortage of top-up vouchers that I'm unaware of?

I offered something last week, having vowed not to bother anymore and like you got frustrated by the people who expect me to do all the running around and phoning. I even had people who despite my clearly saying item needed to be collected made all the arrangements and then just said 'you'll need to deliver mate I've got a dodgy leg' ...what!!!

I have to say I come over all indignant posh and middle aged and have the temptation to email back with 'I am not your mate'..but I just tell them I'm sorry and will now offer it to someone else.

Yes, top-up vouchers are no longer being provided by phone providers in some sort of social politeness conspiracy. However, you might be able to find one being offered on Freecycle.
