I am actually just curious. Our local area Facebook page just seems to have certain themes and issues that rile up the locals. The views on there are certainly not shared by DH and I. Some of them are so bad it is actually encouraging us to move Shock. The common stuff is:

-Missing cats. The local cats are forever disappearing it seems
-Found cats, trying to trace owners
-Missing wheelie bins (hopefully not connected to cats)

  • Warnings about strangers or (and this really pisses me off) people who look 'foreign' and suspicious in the area
  • The local bird life - there was a raging debate recently about magpies

And the stuff the local people complain about:

-Fireworks - for some reason they start in September around here and go on inexplicably all the way to New Year,
-The local councils management of grass verges and general grass area maintenance
-Virgin Media
-Dog mess - including posting videos of dog walkers failing to pick up after their dogs
-Parking. Especially pavement parking.

I am not asking for the locations, as that is pretty outing, but I am just interested in whethers others are like ours or have as many missing cats or different things that rile up the locals.

We got Primark, now they want NANDOS.
I'd be happy to have it, to make them shut up!

Isn't Nandos just chicken? They want chicken that bad they would write about this on the local FB page? 😂

Well, this morning we have a picture of a sparrow hawk, a picture of the must on. The local pond, some one complaining about the Fireworks last night, a person petitioning for a small bridge on a brook to be repaired after flood damage, Ringo foitage of suspicious looking people and requests for good local PAYG ballet classes. It wasn't quite 7:30 when I saw all that.

No missing cats though. Cold weather must have driven them indoors.
