But the comments under the story on twitter are disgusting. The British people just love people to fail don’t they? it’s like they expected her to win every tennis match until the end of time. She’s already the most successful British female tennis player in decades. And she’s 18. Give her a break I think I see your problem here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give her a break It’s strange , back in the days of Frank Bruno he was the plucky bloke who the nation took to its heart cause he came close to winning a few times , ditto Henman to a degree , Euro 96 and so on and now suddenly we’ve become a society that thinks abusing an 18 year old in her third tournament is acceptable, or abusing young men who missed a penalty in a Euro final etc unfortunately the genie is out the bottle with regards to giving the morons a voice but I’d love it if these platforms took a stance somehow and didn’t give idiots a platform . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't mention FB market place, full of knobbers. Got one guy was going to supply and fit me some doors, wanted £150 deposit, gave him £30 which his Mrs collected from me cash. Couldn't supply doors still waiting for the £30 back, he's so busy apparently, lucky it wasn't the £150. Trades should not need to advertise on FB to be fair. After about 50 messages went to pick up some posh cuddle chair the Mrs wanted, when I got there some other guy was loading onto his van, the owner said I was too late, even though I was 10 minutes early. An another experience, bought a chest of drawers, when I got there he hadn't even moved it and his bed was in the way, guy expected me to take it out of his upstairs bedroom on my own?? Not had 1 good experience on there yet all idiots. although have just received some garden sleepers from on there after being 3 weeks late. Everyones full of excuses.

Only you can't, because as soon as you do some lane-swapping spunktrumpet moves into it. **** shitsniffers. And also when the overhead gantry gives you a speed limit due to heavy traffic, let's say 60mph, why does almost everyone take notice except for the words removed driving BMWs, Audis and **** Range Rovers?

I’ve sold a couple of cars on there over the years. eBay is good if they have one of their promos like £1 max selling fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
