What’s Happening on Your Local FB Site?

[frankie001]

Some bits of humour on our local
Site. Last night some one posted that they had rescued a hamster or gerbil and asked if anyone was missing it. Turned out to be a baby rat, after she showed a picture.

Sorry thought I’d posted in chat, have asked @mnhq to move it!

Mine is mostly...

• What's the queue like at Sainsbury's
• Helicopter !!
• Any got any flour?
• Helicopter (again) !
• Is this cat lost? It's been hanging outside in my garden all day*

• Cat actually is always there but person has never noticed as they are usually out at work.

Nothing - I sometimes wonder if the town is still there or everybody's moved away or in hospital. I always knew it was a quiet place but can't believe there's NOTHING there.

Woman posted saying a lovely kind man with purple hair paid for my shopping yesterday when my card was declined in the co-op (loads of comments about what an amazing man he must be)

30 minutes later... yes that was me but I'm a woman

@Lauren83 😟. I’m sure you’re amazing whatever gender!

@bookmum08 helicopter here most nights, but some people are convinced it’s spraying something!

There is a lot of curtain twitching going on at mine.

It's all very exciting. A coffee shop is reopening and also one of the local chip shops. There is uproar.

In other news someone has lost their swarm of bees, and there's a shouty one about not feeding horses grass cuttings.

@frankie001 Ah no it wasn't me I just spotted the post!

People asking if there is a Chinese takeaway open locally

Bonfire complaints
Lots of lost dogs
Broadband problems
How month is the queue to supermarket

*long not month

frankie001 there is someone about Facebook groups and helicopters. It's like when 3 year olds practically explode with excitement when they see a fire engine but it's normally sane grown ups getting so excited by helicopters.
(they're spraying 5G nano waves over us aren't they?!)

Two hours of panic over a live shooter, and four days/ months of bitching about out of towners and second homers. Also one bloke endlessly trying to sell every single item in his home, from oriental art to boxing gloves and used craft equipment. No I don’t want your used paintbrush. Also the ubiquitous updates on the flour and yeast status.

There was a post on ours about whether someone has lost their deer as she'd seen one running across the road. It was of course a wild one from the local forest which had ventured out while it's quiet.

Something. Not someone.

There's an awful lot of parcels being delivered to the wrong addresses and people asking if anyone knows a 'Miss/Mr /Mrs (insert name)'. So they can reunite their stuff.

There was a helicopter one yesterday.

Elmo it's possible you live near me... .or peacocks in general are having away days

About 30 people saying “Stay at home, STAY AT HOME!!! Think of the children/nurses/fish/etc”

A local idiot with 1000’s of followers upping his bullying campaign of a neighbouring family by slagging them off for their children having a FSM delivery when they had a Dominoes takeaway previously. He is a horrible man, but people seem to love him.

Outrage at the moment over an independent veg shop selling a brocoli head and 2 parsnips to someone for £5. The comments are hundreds of comments long.
The shop replied slagging off the person who bought it complaining, and then calling another local competitor veg shop owner idiots.
Some people are piling in saying the price is fair. Others are very, very angry and that they're clearly robbing grannies of their pension. Turns out the veg shop doesn't even list the prices of the items in the shop until you get to the till, then asks you for the total amount. Even the owners daughter has got involved!

Very entertaining if I'm honest.

Dunno, it was so dull I hid it. Hang on, I'll go and have a look.

Maybe its the dawn of the age of the Peacock
The one round here seems to be some kind of local celebrity

There's also lots of chatter about the local tip and its opening times; and a bit of anger about non locals using the tip!
