To ask what the drama is in your local Facebook group?

[ItsTheDramaaMick]

Ours is a on fire at the moment. Usually it's just dog poo and why is the helicopter out, and tourists parking in the pub car park to go for a walk and getting a ticket..

However in the last week or so it has popped off and I'm living for the drama 🤣 it's not even the local community groups,

It's beef between 2 niche (very niche) hobby pages where one is saying x will happen and the other is saying y will happen, then page 1 started posting passive aggressive comments on the page of page 2 and frankly it's incredible.

Any one else got something fun going on, on their Facebook groups?

Bins parking cats pooing in other people's gardens dogs off leads in parks with no recall

And see also a dodgy van....

They seem to always think the dodgy man is trying to steal dogs....

In mine, people have been complaining about other people posting anonymously. They can't understand why someone might want to remain anonymous for mundane questions like "Can anyone recommend a plumber?". I'm not sure why the complainers really need to know exactly who they are recommending the plumbers etc to. However, they made such a fuss that the group admin felt compelled to organise a vote on whether anonymous posts should be allowed or not. At last count it looks like they will continue to be allowed by some significant margin, so common sense prevails.

Same folk then complain about temp lights etc when they are re-doing the roads...council can't win!

All the ones people have mentioned on here about sheep have made me laugh, sheep all seem to be semi-suicidal from what I know of them!

I lived with one set of my grandparents in the countryside for a few years as a child, and I remember us children used to love playing ‘chicken’ with the electric fences, trying to touch them without getting a shock. Proper ‘make your own entertainment’ stuff 😂

The city is far less exciting for the local FB type stuff. I love the one from where my grandparents were, it’s a hotbed of gossip and slander!

Oops, the comment re: electric fences was in response to the post about such fences by @GrannyWeatherwaxsHatpin

Mrs GreenGrass we are on the same Billboard (many might not believe you!) It's a shame that he can't / won't get the help he needs.

We also had a woman claim a panther jumped over her back fence a few months ago.

I'll try again, we live in the same town, hoping he can get some help soon.

Potholes, always potholes
parking fines
Asking for recommendations of Chinese restaurants, twice a week sometimes- why not read the previous thread?
A black swan has appeared on the local (large) pond and people have been taking photos and feeding it (not bread) (or if it is bread not admitting to it)
person a posted how people who can’t control their reactive dogs should muzzle them and her dog is perfectly friendly.
Person b shared the X-ray pics from when her arm had to be pinned because a not under control dog provoked her on a lead dog, causing her dog to wrench her arm and pull her over/along (hence pins)
they're clearly talking about each other whilst in no way referencing each other 👀

M*d road is closed again!

Just trawled FB search and I'm gutted. We don't have any kind of page in our area

Just the usual: potholes, lost cats, and misdelivered parcels.

Ours seems to be folk asking "any jobs going", no further info given so presume that's them ticking a box for their looking for work UC requirements. One chaps profile picture had him flipping the bird whist hanging on to an XL Bully. Someone politely suggested he clean up his FB profile as that might help with his work search and the riot that caused was good viewing.

Bin collections. It was all changed recently, and it has been utter chaos.

Lost cat. Again.

Bin strike and recommendations for plumber apparently

Also, someone found a lost ferret.

@tillytoodles1 ughh that’s disgusting.

ours is dog poo and fireworks. Usually the same person starting it and the same replying.

I live not far away, festival time is horrendous! I have friends who live there and they said that there is rarely a year that passes without newbies complaining about the noise and trying to get a petition going to get the festival ended, the racetrack closed and the airport to not run night flights. Apparently one was most put out when she was informed that the festival is older than she is!

All very tame at the moment on our main one.
Now the alternate political one is something else. We’re in a v v v safe seat and it supports the other party.

Sadly people who have gone missing. Three found dead since New Year . MH is a massive problem! Potholes , snow ,vandalism.

There are road works and someone has moved all the diversion signs so that they’re all pointing the wrong ways

Massive local story. The county council is proposing to put parking meters all over town in places which are just 1 hr parking. Everyone is up in arms about proposed meters. Consultation just closed, rumour has it the results were 97% against meters but the council will probably do it anyway.

The other hot topics are people complaining about all the anonymous posts, and a local lost dog (lost dog made the front page of local paper last week along with a fallen tree story, must have been a slow news week).

The wind, it's windy, is this your wind chime / birdbox / trampoline in my garden.
Beaten hands down in December by the GREENHOUSE that is yet to be claimed - no one has noticed it missing.
New owner of greenhouse adds to other 'lost' posts (cats, parcels etc) "don't suppose you have you lost a greenhouse too?"
No takers yet.
