I agree. I'd always just give the first half of the postcode and/or say where we are near. That's plenty for them to work out when they can get here.
Then if they don't come back and arrange a time then you can give it to someone else knowing the original people won't turn up.

I'm also careful never to tell people when no-one will be in. Not the sort of info you want a stranger with your address knowing!

yea - i always put "we will be available between xx and xx"

i love the current 'offered' ones we are getting,,,,,
"you must be able to collect Monday at 11.15"... all that will happen is they will get lots of "i will be there then" then a no show.

WANTED: looking for near new/ good conditioned sofa

Hi, i am looking for a decent, good conditioned sofa for my empty flat
please. Modern leather or fabric sofa. Or plain stylish if possible,as
this is for a family.

Because the kids really wouldn't want something old fashioned now would they?

I'm a year Istudent at Adventure Tourism in UCB. I have about a week to
prepare for my first "field" assignment, which is a trip to Glaramara
for all sorts of mountain climbing and trekking, but I'm missing all the
right equipment for this.

I would need anything from a tent, sleeping bag, warm clothes (base
layer, thermal fleece, etc) to regular t-shirts and a waterproof jacket.

Basically, anything that's connected to this kind of a trip would be
very helpful.

'Planning fail' may also be apt?

They never mentioned that they couldn't afford any of this stuff, nor that they wouldn't be able to get it if they didn't receive an offer.

Maybe they just want to keep things out of landfill? Isn't that the point?

iieee

Because people often throw perfectly serviceable camping equipment in the wheelie bin, rather than giving it to charity etc? :think:
