• Also on the whole petrol thing. Is there an easy way to find out where has stock? And does anyone have any thoughts on when things will normalise?

    We were meant to go to friend's kids birthday this weekend, but it's a bit of a way. Still have ¾ of a tank (plus whatever is in my motorbike I guess) but we need to drive to get child no1 to nursery. So as harsh as it sounds we don't really want to spunk a load of fuel to stand in a church hall.

  • we have just been using Next Door platform to find out which of our village pumps has anything. managed to score £30 of diesel yesterday. one garage had petrol only. two were completely closed. then I found the diesel. all within short range.

    it's the only time I have found Next Door useful it's a proper old load of curtain twitching nonsense

  • it's a proper old load of curtain twitching nonsense

    Agreed. It's a hot mess of a site.

  • Person A: there’s a man in a “BT internet” high vis jacket playing about in one of the green boxes on the pavement, is this suspicious?

    Person B: this can be a technique used by thieves to case out your house, be vigilant and maybe call the police to be sure xxx

    Apparently everything that ever happens on any street is a ruse deployed to case out houses for robberies.
    Also, “cat spotted in garden, polite request to owner to stop cat coming in our garden please” is a regular post. Have they ever interacted with a cat/animal in their lives?! I signed up as I heard it was good for business (sparky) but all the enquiries had red flags all over them, so I promptly deleted my advert!
