Freecycling Down Hill Huttonian is intrigued by the latest 'wants' ad in Berwickshire Freecycle:HI everybody i am looking for a standard greenhouse, and large whisky bottles for keeping loose change in please read this and i would bemuch appreciated to anyone who can help.I am not sure how many people could offer a 'standard' greenhouse whatever that is-Standard Kew, room for 400 Routemasters? Standard Berwickshire Laird with seating for 200? Bog Standard bendy Metal with cheap glass? -but worth a punt I suppose. The large whisky bottle is also intriguing. How much loose change will readily fit down the neck? My 40oz (nearly empty, since you ask) Glenfiddich will just take 5p pieces-20p nope, pound coins no way. . I suppose you could fold up some of those fairly rare Scottish One Pound...
ITS NOTHING BUT A TRI COLOURED HOUNDDOGCountry Strife http://countrystrife.blogspot.com/ has scooped Hutton on this-its the early bird which getteth the (offered-Ayton) can of worms on Berwickshire Freecycle-and this post is still up with no one so far claiming E.Presley's former pet. Actually its against the rules to mention pets on Freecycle (together with drugs, alcohol and hand held weapons of mass destruction) but in this case the moderator has made an exception"A large tri colour hound type dog wearing a collar has been handed intothe BARK kennels Thursday Morning. We understand he was seen runningaround Chirnside last night. He was picked up on the Chirnside DunsRoad near Briery Mill.Please contact BARK if you have any information on 01289 306299"And if you can't claim the dog for...

You want? You collect. After making use of it (offering in my case, anything from carpet backing through leather pouffes to rather old golf balls) I can affirm it is certainly more fun than getting in a house clearerSeem people do tend to push their luck. One guy wanted a motor caravan. 'I know its a long shot' he pleadedBut he got one.That...
Berwickshire Freecycle. Come and Get It! R-e-s-p-e-ct-f-u-l-l-yI don't know how we could have ever managed our move out of the Old Manse to the Small House in Duns without the marvellous Free cycle network. Broken Motor Mower, rotting carpet liner, children's toys, past their normal playtime date, model cars mostly wheel less, excess unattractive carpet,ancient leather pouffe, Computer tower, odd glasses-some very odd, miscellaneous picnic stuff with extra Wadi Rum sand. Once advertised on Freecycle they are usually taken away by some kind person within twenty four hours. The rules are straight forward . To quote from the world wide freecycle blurb (obviously geared to the cross- Atlantic market: KEEP IT FREE, LEGAL & APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES. This means, for example, no Alcohol,Tobacco,...
Hang Out (one less) FlagsWind howling outside, can't sleep, 2am, metcheck and BBC Blether Centre agree on 'possible disruption' so nothing for it but a cup of organic Rooibus and a look at Berwickshire Freecycle. Amidst 'Computer wanted Berwick area' and 'offered concrete slabs Duns' there is one intriguing entry 'Wanted German Flag. (Modern)'But why? Bayern Munich to play Hawick at Rugby Sevens? Expat German in need of security blanket? School Play 'Escape from Stalag XIV' No-modern German Flag please. Swastika owners need not apply. Too sleepy to boggle further. Perhaps more light will be thrown later:' Received German Flag. Now have full pole. Thankyou Flagless of Foulden' Or something.Continue scanning the offerings: ' Large Saltire. Never used. Owner leaving Berwick'Nice thought,...
