Ron Aldo Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 My estate has a local Facebook page which seems to exclusively made up of roasters. We've had someone offering a set of crutches and another offering an ornamental wooden fish. I can only assume these people don't have bins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Where I live is what I'd politely call "economically deprived" (not me, you understand. I'm loaded.). As a result, the local Facebook marketplace is a fascinating, if sad, insight into the lives of single mothers and the elderly. Recently a young woman asked if anyone wanted to buy a cordless landline phone handset so she could top up her electricity meter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, let's rejoice it's not us that is selling faulty electrical equipment, dangerous tyres or burst couches to feed our families. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s sobering and I often pause to think about how lucky I am before I check if the seller is an attractive female and then DM then offering money for nudes. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you're well aware, I don't live in the same kind of poverty striken grief hole as you, but I can confirm that our Facebook groups are equally full of folk trying to get people to take away their old shite for nothing. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I broke my ankle and was issued with crutches the hospital hounded me to return them. That was more than a few years ago admittedly but has NHS policy changed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
