We’ve just had a letter inviting us to join the above.
Anyone in their local one?
Good points?
Bad points?
Can’t see much of an advantage for us to be honest but would appreciate your opinions. Thanks.
Yes been on mine for several years - sometimes it's interesting, things for sale, lost and found, local events including crime, cries for help etc. I read it but don't contribute much.
I avoided it for years but gave in and registered recently. I logged in once or twice and found nothing but a notice from the police warning of a cyber scam and another person saying hello I'm new around here. I checked in a couple of times since and still nothing new, haven't bothered to go back. Its a very inactive site here.
What puzzles me is why a local person goes to all the trouble of printing and delivering invitations to join, but does welcome people or create any content? Very odd.
I think ubasses and barry are spot on.
It's good at warning you of scams and burglaries, also for missing pets, but I would never use any of the tradespersons as they could be recommending themselves for all I know.
