    There might be a middle class element to our fc....

    "offer: Specialist Wine Fridge, xxxxxxx"

    "WANTED: Ski wear for 3 and 1 year old - xxxxxxx"

    "Wanted - recording of desert island disks with John Humphrys"


    And my personal favourite....

    "wanted: flue for aga stove -xxxxxxx
    Now, I don't know what i am asking for!! I need apparently a flue to
    make the aga work on an external wall....apparently it has a
    conventional flue............my friend found hers at the dump for £5! I
    haven't got a clue what it does, except i gather it makes a chimney!"

    I have offered a few things over the last couple of weeks and am surprised at the amount of emails i have received that say they are sent from an i-phone!?!

    Then i thought perhaps i am wrong to think that Freecycle is for giving thing to people who cant afford to buy things they need? Guess it is just to stop it going into landfill.

    Am i wrong though not to offer to people who send emails from i-phone?

    If they are pleading poverty in the same email definitely, if not, I'm not so sure.
    I'm not bad at golf, I just get better value for money when I take more shots!

  • Latest one on our Freegle:

    found lurking in the back of the kitchen cupboard, half a dozen packets of out of date colmans/schwartz packet sauce mixes (cheese sauce, chilli con carne mix etc). Also an unopened tub of Bisto white sauce mix.

    PLEASE NOTE these are WELL past their best before date, i.e. by YEARS not months. but does anyone want to try them?

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Now THAT'S what Freegle's all about!! :D
    If I could cheat, I'd skip to the end and decide if it's worth going through with
