Hi All


Having been let down twice in the last few days by people arranging to come and see some items I am selling (this morning was particularly annoying as I had to get kids up and around early in preparation), can I suggest that we have a thread that warns others of these time wasters? Or am I being too harsh... thoughts?

I do that and still have had people not turning up ....

I always try to get a mobile number so I can confirm a collection, I've been giving a lot of free stuff away on here recently. However more than 50% just don't reply to messages or turn up, the people that do though are usually great but it has really put me off.

I've even had nasty messages from someone after saving something for them and then them vanishing for days on end, not replying to messages until I tell them I've had to give it to someone else.

It just isn't worth it.

    • I had my car ransacked on Wednesday night, I assumed I’d left it unlocked. It was unlocked again this morning though and I definitely locked it last night.   The car was outside my front door and the keys near the door inside so I assume this is a relay theft  issue with someone using a remote key reader. I would advise keeping keys away from the front door. I have reported to police. 
    • They plan to close the Mount Pleasant Office, absolute and utter madnesss
    • We are sadly saddled with the three stooges till July 2029 because they have such a far reaching majority, that is the problem when you give a party that level of support.  The ship was being turned around by the last Administration and given all their faults, errors, misdemeanours its not surprising that that got and probably deservedly so out of Office.  But if what has just happened over the past 100+ days since the new Administration took power, we are in for a very bumpy ride and peoples lives will ALL be affected. They say they champion the poor, well all they've done so far by taking away the winter fuel allowance (not eligible for it) and increasing employers national insurance, as sure as eggs is eggs, prices will increase and that hits everyone in the pocket, including the poorest in society. You can only shake the money tree so often, after which time it's Empty. What that means is the cost of providing benefits increases, where does the money then come from.  To then take on the farmers who feed part of the economy is utter madness, because if they blockade food supplies then people will go hungry, not necessarily starve. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you.  Their is enough written about the three stooges, Starmer, Reeves and Rayner, I have no idea if they are supposed "communists", but what I have seen is that free speech is being eroded, that can never be good for a democracy, where people are scared to speak out.  How does all this change, the people will eventually have had enough and rise up against the Govt. It has to happen eventually. Even is Starmer went you are left with Reeves and Rayner. Personally O don't trust either, it will be more of "do as I say, not as I do".  
    • Thanks for the invite, although most people will be at work or at school. It's a Monday morning...
