i agree with beer, i've had that happen too. emails in before it appears in my inbox as an offered, i now state i won't pick for 24 hours to give everyone a chance, but even so, emails always whizz in very quick to start with, usually with "i want that, can collect" as the sole part of the message. maybe i'm harsh but i now reject any impolite ones, as i think how many of these are you sending out. bet its saved to paste to save typing.

No not harsh I fully agree with your stance

Oh yes and there was the one, (sorry I know we've been here before, but it really annoyed me) I was giving away a couple of large pieces of really good furniture for someone. A bloke asked for it, I am disabled he says, so I'll send some friends in a van round for it. Turn up......... so thats nice of you to help your friend by carrying his furniture....... oh no, its for us........... exsqueeze me, did I hear you correctly? Yes apparently..............

I was gobsmacked, they were about as disabled as I am....... ok maybe they were a bit better than me
As it turns out, they were the only ones who wanted it anyway and it needed to be gone, so I just let it go. But it well opened my eyes, I can tell you.


But then I could also tell you all about the truly lovely people I have met as well

That's funny I didn't have one when I moved in either (I imagine many don't) ..... I bought one

Maybe it was a critique on her cooking skills , though blowing it up seems a tad extreme :eek:

Hi all

I know they come up now and again and only very rarely but Does
anyone have a car just sat outside rusting slowly they would like to
give away. Dosen't have to be anything special but one that runs would
be a start. Please no offers of
selling me a car because I really can't afford one.

yes for a big chunk of my life I couldn't afford a car - know what I did ?? I used public transport. Also if he can't afford a car is he/she going to be able to afford to run one - they are a bit of a black hole for money

Thats a very good idea about 24hrs, I think I will do that from now on as well. Someone on one of my local groups, always asks for the most funny or witty reply to get it I like the idea of that. I always reject the impolite ones, but also the gushing ones ........ and the disabled ones....... and the single mothers/fathers/burgled/lost/need it or will die ones................. I reckon that leaves me and about 3 other people on my local groups :rolleyes:

Just noticed someone in a local group on here Hello to the person who posted about the young not to be bird scarer on the allotment :wave: I shall have to be careful from now on :rotfl:

Hi i have been ask to post a wanted message for a washing machine, my
friends has just broken down and she just recently had a baby and is
in need of one asap. if anyone can help please email me and ill send
your details onto my friend thank you very much

I am always suspicious of ones that claim : just had a baby/diabled relative and similar and wonder if these aren't just lies to appeal to our better natures - emotional manipulation n all that.

Presumably until then her friend will do her washing for her no doubt

I'm always amazed at how certain things make people ill/needy/dead....thinking about the amount of mishaps my customers on ebay used to have (Given it up as a bad job now, much rather flog my old carp at a car booty or on FC. Cheaper for a start!!)
