does anyone else's board get people asking for camping equipment every 10 mins??

Our board had a post that said they had been invited on a camping holiday, so they were now looking for a tent, sleeping bags, gas stove, cooking equipment ... I felt like replying with "Why didn't you just say 'No thank you' !!!"

Yes!!! But its ok because most of them have a tent
(its just pots, pans, stoves, sleeping bags, lanterns etc they need)

I've heard about last-minute planning but this takes the cake!! (which will probably be the next thing they ask for, along with flowers, cars, venue......)

You can sell furniture without fire regs if it was made before before 1 Jan 1950.
Antique dealers else would go out of business, I don't know why charity shops don't use this to sell old stuff.

Fair point but our local charity furniture project refused to take them saying they could be fined for selling them on. Go figure.

The daftest part of all is that the stuff they're refusing probably has a higher resale value for them.
