Starting to notice a very annoying trend on Facebook marketplace , which I use for selling larger / heavier items the first question now starts “ do you deliver “
 
Funnily enough this time it was a large rug we were selling , and lo and behold as I posted this thread someone messaged and it was gone 10 minutes later .
 
I'm going to attempt to deliver a large Welsh dresser to West Wales later today from South Wales. The buyer was found through FB marketplace. I didn't want to chop it up for firewood - it was far too good for that - but very few people want them. I'm glad she got in contact - and we could work out a way to achieve it. (I've still got to physically get it there in one piece mind you). So I was very happy for her to ask about delivery as otherwise it'd have to be dumped.

Yes, endlessly so. Recently the local police posted a call for witnesses to knife assault. Only one response ....... someone trying to sell an old bed.
 
What is this face book of which you speak? I am usually quite good at reading peoples faces but that is hard when nobody meets anybody "face to face" any more. :rolleyes:

Its all very exciting, it's where people post crap, get offended at the drop of a hat, many posts of "my cat didn't come home last night for his tea,"
And in response people post the praying hands emote, and I hope he comes home Hun.

And then there is the my cat is an indoor cat, never goes out, has anyone seen him, it seems he got out after all.

Police appealing for witnesses to a robbery, with a picture, that is so distorted it could be anyone..
Talking of pictures, the duck faced and "filter" narcissistic selfie images are alive and well in there, with people replying "gorgeous"
Where as I am try and figure out if I should take them to dinner or over the park to play ball, and have a s***.

Its a great way to waste an hour or so, if you are bored with sticking pins in your eyes.
 
Facebook is full of crap if you let it, it is very good for special interest groups for me thing’s like motorbikes and butterflies/dragonflies etc worth it for that people help each other out

"Facebook" is a mispelling of Farcebook.
 
It feels like I'm missing something, but that that's a good thing.
I can't be sure without actually opening an account though.
So I'm just stuck feeling unsure yet.....extremely fortunate.

ignorance is bliss
