Facebook Marketplace.

Facebook Marketplace.

Now I understand, thank you.

New phone and none of my WhatsApp messages were backed up!

It’s like the Live thread all over again.

My experience with FB Marketplace - two guitars and a car sold (£250+) but lower valued items - can't sell them. Strange.

Power cut.

My toad in the hole has turned into toad in the communion wafer.

My parents are 84 and 85, they still walk along holding hands. My husband and I often hold hands when we walk. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT - and your attitude is symptomatic of why so many boys grow up with low self esteem because that's the attitude that they've lived with. It's absolutely fine to be affectionate to a loved one in public as long as you are on the right side of decency.

I could not agree more--My partner and I always hold hands...In the street, on the bus and in the cinema.

Yuk!!! I’d rather be force fed jellied eels.

If you are a man of your word......Go and eat a bowl of them and put a video of it on here!

Last weekend our daughter and family were due to descend on us for the weekend, that got cancelled as the granddaughter had a serious fit on the Friday night. So we re-arranged for this Easter weekend only to be told yesterday that our daughter has now caught Covid for the second time in a year. This time it has laid her low and in bed. So again the weekend looks in jeopardy and Mrs RHB is getting decidedly ratty about the situation.

I’ve never struggled to sell stuff on there. It’s the hassle to get certain bits sold. And honestly even stuff you’re giving away they want you to bend over backwards for them.

I've found it's better to sell in specialist groups. My old Astra went in 2 days!

We have a local re-use group on FB. (I'm sure we're not the only ones.) The basic rule is that everything has to be free and cannot be taken to be sold on. For low value items it is brilliant. We give away a lot of stuff which a) gives it a new life, and b) saves it from landfill.

An example for you: A few months ago my (85 year old) mother-in-law decided to give up playing golf. She gave me a very nice electric golf trolley so I put my old one (that she also gave me when my father-in-law died) on the re-use group. The next day a guy came to collect. He explained to me that the trolley wasn't for him, but was for a close friend who loves his golf but can't carry his clubs anymore because of cancer.

Yeah I should really look for those sorts of groups locally. I’m the same as you I’d rather give something away than it go to landfill. Unfortunately some of the people on Facebook Marketplace make it hard to not just take it to the tip.

Got home from Morrisons. Still seething. Considering buying a nice bar of fruit & nut when, after a few nondescript songs, they started blasting out that damn one that goes, “Darling hold my hand... oh won’t you hold my hand...” There is no doubt in my mind this nonsense will only encourage some who are tempted to partake in public shows of affection.

Well Morrisons, I must tell you I no longer flyJet2 because of their association with this soft porn song. Be warned. Other supermarkets are available.

Do you have an aversion of public displays of affection? I see no harm in it and would love to hold my wifes hand but invariably its being used to push a pushchair or one or both of my two children want to hold my hand.

You are absolutely doing a wonderful thing. I have made it clear people should hold their children’s hands for all sorts of good reasons.

Was you not loved by your mother ;)

No harm in showing love, the World needs more of it right now.
