    I have 2 items for sale. One is a TV, the other is a three-piece-suite. Saturday we had aphonecall from someone interested in the TV, and asked if it was ok to come through the day after at 7pm to have a look at it. It got to 7.15pm on Sunday - no show. We rung them to ask if they were coming, and they had changed their mind - but not had the decency to let us know they werent coming.</p>

    Then came yesterday. Someone interested in our suite. They wanted to know if they could come through to look at it, today at 5pm. It was fine by us, but we rushed home from work to give it a good tidy / spruce up. 5 minutes ago they had still not shown, so we gave them a call to see if they were coming. They said that that werent bothering now and they'd leave it. Again, no decency as to give us a call to let us know.</p>

    Why do modern people mess others about?</p>

    My advice:

    find out where they live, go round and shoot their dog.

    There is no such thing as society, just individual men women and children

    Neither had dogs.....

    but the first one had a fishtank, so I ate that instead. And I slapped the woman around the face with the fish.

    I tried to give away a fully functional fridge freezer 3 years ago

    We needed, and so bought, a bigger one.  So I put an ad in the Free-Ads to say Fridge Freezer - free to a good home, good working order - can demonstrate. Collection only.

    I got two responders.  The first said she'd take it unseen, as she lived in Bradford and didn't want to come over.  So as long as I would deliver it, she'd give me the nothing I was asking.  When I said to her that I couldn't deliver as it was too big to fit in my car, she said, &quot;Well, can't you hire a van?&quot;.  Speechless.

    The other weighed in with, &quot;How long a warranty do I get?&quot;.  Erm, none, love.  It works.  I will have it switched on and working when you get here.  Once you take it, you're on your own.

    &quot;So what if I get it home and it stops working?&quot;. I'll tell you what, love. Bring it back and I'll give you double your money back.

    &quot;Funny&quot;, she said and hung up.

    Moral of the story?
    People. cnuts. Period.

    I ended up taking it to the dumpit site.  Unloaded it out of my mate's trailer and a bloke ran over saying, &quot;does that still work?&quot;.  I said yes and it was in the back of his van before I knew where I was!

    Can I come over and see you demonstrate a fridge/freezer?

    I bet it's fascinating!

    Of course

    Come Saturday, between 3 and 4:45.
    Otherwise I can't guarantee I'll be in.
    And you'd better not let me down.

    No problem

    I'd like to bring a bottle of pop so you can chill that, and perhaps a chicken to see it freeze, thank you!
