I've been blocked on my local fb site

Oh dear.

For telling someone to use actual English and grammar to communicate towards me.
Seriously, I could not understand what the woman was trying to say. Obviously I was rude to tell her that bcuz I dnt tlk lyk dis bruv innit

Where else am I supposed to get the beautiful shit glitzy glasses and pound shop tat charged for a fiver each.

Would anyone seriously buy that trampoline

Oi! That's my trampoline.

It's a bargain at £70.

Bloody outrage...

Why would anyone in their right mind buy one of those dolls?!

I'm the one and only admin on a local selling page - fucking love it. I make a habit of deleting all of the messages that say

Will take £12 if gone today

Crappy messages and I also delete when people post to just take the piss. The other day there was a lady selling a gorgeous silver cross travel system in very good condition for about £300/350 and someone offered her £30 for the car seat and was outraged when she turned her down.

My local one is hilarious, and full of half wits. At my book club last week we had an amusing half hour of reading some of the posts out. The crafter wannabes are priceless.

Someone was actually offering weeds from her garden! Ok they were forget-me-nots, but honestly!

Someone on mine was trying to sell kids activity books from the poundshop that her kid had done a couple of pages of and then got bored.

Along similar lines I got banned from my local free cycle for pointing out that the 'elderly retired gent' who wanted your old watches to 'tinker with in his retirement' was actually making several hundred a month flogging them through eBay and he'd not even fixed them!

Apparently it was up to the giver if they wanted to give. I questioned that had the advert read "wanted, your watches to flog on eBay" they could have made a more informed decision and was banned. Still, this all played out openly so I think I ended his enterprise

i get flamed many times for correcting people's spelling i find it quite fun

I got banned from mine because some posted 'Does anyone know where I can get a three seater sofa (black leather), coffee table (black), fridge (stainless steel) and king sized bed?' and I replied 'A furniture shop.'

Wrong response apparently.

Midnite funny reply!
Findo Don't agree with you - speaking with an accent and using text speak are completely different. An accent you cannot 'control' so to speak if the language you are speaking is not your native tongue - yet text speak is just damn annoying and best left for 14 year olds.

Accents are wonderful.

Textspeak isn't.

I agree, kiwi. Also, you must have to actually learn text speak - there seem to be standard 'words'. I'm not sure that it is less bother, it seems more like an affectation.

And WHY do all these people think it's ok to call me hun?
They have never met me!
I had an exchange with somebody yesterday who was hunning and putting rows of kisses on their correspondence within a couple of exchanges.

Aw Hun xxxxxxx

I refused to join mine despite being told by friends that I could easily make a £5 from some light fittings that is thrown in the skip.

As for newborn dolls. A friend (RL sadly) is getting one from FB. Scares the shit out of me, she was posting updates of this Chuckie looking thing that's just had its eyebrows stuck in.

^I'd thrown in a skip. FFS!!!
