    Selling high value item through PayPal

    seller asking buyer to gift money screams con to most buyers. paypal is a conveinient to buy stuff... . ok for high volume low value sellers who can survive a low percentage of refunds but i wouldnt use it for high value low volume where even one refund will hurt.

    SOS must get hay through flood stratford on avon

    ive only just seen the thread and also cant quite beleive it. not only will a horse survive several days without food, but in a situation where livestock has to be fed or rescued the first people to turn to are the local farmers, not only have they got far better equipment than any landrover ...

    Anyone involved in flood rescues today in he south west?

    going back to fannys mondeo , if its been in deep water and got wet inside tis probably better to scrap it and buy another banger.... theres pleanty about for hundreds. especially if you aint fussy on make and model. depends how you value your time, and what other water damage comes to light...
