Someone was asking for a 40" tv on mine "must be flat screen and in working order" :rotfl:

Someone asked for a 40" flat screen on my one too. What a cheek.

someone on ours is asking for cat food as she is very short of money and also she says i have enough main food in the house for my 9 year old son. but no snacks so if you have cat food and frontline that would be good but it would be even better if you could supply some snacks for my son to nibble on. Gosh what has this world come to if you have to ask for snacks for her son. Well sorry but if you have no money then there is certainly no snacks just bare necessaties of food. I had to laugh

this was the actual ad

Cant believe I am posting this, but it seems the holidays have taken a big toll
on my finances. if anyone has any spare cat food for my two cats,(and frontline
if thats not pushing it) and anything spare for a 9 yr old boy to snack on I
would be very grateful. I have main meals for him,but he seems to be hungry in
between every meal, (so sorry to be asking,so humiliating) I would be very
grateful if anyone can spare something please. can collect tomorrow evening.
many thanks in advance,

If she's that short of money perhaps she should be contacting the local social services.
Trouble is people WILL give her stuff.

I think ours is pretty good on the whole. Seems to be a pretty 50/50 mix of wants and offers. I've given loads of stuff away in the past but never seen an offer I've wanted to take up. I've sent out some requests in the past but only got 1 person respond to one request, that person even dropped it round to the house on their way home from work one day, even though I'm always happy to collect.

My local freecycle is full of mainly wanteds though Freegle is a lot more balanced

I am expecting a flutter of request for freeview boxes in the upcoming weeks as our switchover is coming up - nowt wrong with that, but the day after I bet they'll be loads as people suddendly realise they have no TV

You can also expect a lot of old tvs to be offered as people upgrade.
