    When I offer something I search for the email address of anyone replying.

    Because I use gmail I have kept all messages from the past 8+ years so I can tell if someone has offered or not. You can search on the Yahoo groups too.

    Wanted; trials sidecar. Wxxxxx
    The wife and I are going to give sidecar trials a go
    and I'm struggling to find a sidecar.
    Does anyone have a trials sidecar that they don't want or no longer use?
    It can be a complete outfit or just the sidecar that I can bolt onto my own
    bike.
  • I had to stop reading this thread at page 18 after Penda's post led me to spit tea all over the keyboard...

    The poster in the freecycle ad has given away so many personal details that I'm 99% certain that it was written by a distance relative of my husband.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Their kids are particularly badly behaved, so I'm eternally grateful that that the prayer wasn't answered and the 7-seater never materialised - they used to invite themselves over regularly (probably to try and convert us to the faith), but thankfully they've not been able to come over for a couple of years now! :beer:

    Well at least this one says thank you.

    Wanted: 7-seater car!
    Location Shropshire
    Description We have a growing Christian family (3 children and another on the way) and find that a small Skoda Fabia is just not big enough. Also, my husband's van (used for work) has recently died on us. We now share this small car between us, and living in rural Shropshire proves difficult. This car would be an answer to prayer. Thank you! :)

    On the merry go round again - this time I've offered a faulty wii console which has generated huge interest. The one thing that has struck me this time is the huge number of people that mention that they're a single parent (or "I'M A SINGLE PARENT!!!!" as one reply read) when asking. It doesn't make you any more or less entitled to free stuff - all I want to know when you can pick up, not what your marital status is.

    Also it's amazing how many Wiis have broken in the last few days - no fewer than 9 replies claim to be from people whose console died this week, so they need bits from mine to fix it.

    Hmmmmm :rotfl:

    4 berth caravan I'm not fussed on the exterior condition as long as it
    has no damp and the interior is in a livable condition and has heating.
    would love for some one to help.delivery would be preferred as i have
    limited mobility

    Is that the ultimate extraction of the urine? You need a caravan delivered because you have limited mobility? How in hells name are you going to tow it then!?

    It's probably wanted for living in rather than going on holiday.
