Re: "Tendering" website?

There was one called something like 'my builder' but for all trades related to building. Personally, I wouldnt touch them with a barge pole, having been stung once by some cowboy or other that we found on there.

Re: someone is trying to steal my cat!

They get irrate because the cat eats it...and even sent my friend a polaroid of the crime the other day - not sure why they can't just feed their cat inside? That's just plain ridiculous. You cant train a cat not to eat easy food! They need to wise up and take responsibility. What are they going to...

Re: someone is trying to steal my cat!

There are people who think it is just plain wrong to collar a cat (they get caught in bushes and cat gets strangled - never known it happen mind!) - maybe your cat is visiting one of these people and they remove it thinking they are doing it a favour?

Re: betting on the weather?

Well, the 'rule' is that if a month starts well, it ends badly, so we have sun now, but snow later as forecast maybe?

Re: what a jolly pickle!!

It's odd they are complaining as the limit for receiving benefits and having money in an account is £15k! Maybe they are just miffed that you didnt declare it? (Not that you could if you didnt know it was there in the first place!) Been and checked and this is what I discovered: you have to declare...

Re: Quickest way to report spam

If you mean one spam poster has made several posts, then yes, in my experience it does get flagged up as 'already reported', because I inadvertently tried to reprt the same person twice not so long ago, from different posts.
