I wonder if the Highways Agency or whoever operates the motorway if they own/operate this land have a duty of care to make it safe. Just like one would expect with a railway.
There's a fence. Standard HA-type post and rail fence, looks like at the top of the embankment. She wants a close-boarded garden fence, almost a noise-barrier. She should pay for it herself, the illiterate 
. Not local as such. But the Mazda cx-60 owners closed group, the biggest one.
Now, 99% of people are complaining about how bad the car is with same faults. BUT, Admin won’t allow positive posts as it’s not the narrative they want.
I’m not George- he wants to know why he’s had a warning.

Our village page had someone ask if they had any spare instructions for a Lego set they had, picture of the box which of course has the part number on it.
Lots of helpful folk “yes we have that, you can borrow them”
Great that people are helpful, but these cretins run to Facebook for literally any life drama

I wouldn't call it a life drama, it sounds like a reasonable use of a local Facebook group to me. What wrong with asking to borrow a set of instructions?Lots of helpful folk “yes we have that, you can borrow them”

Someone on ours asked for the best curry house in the local area… There are now 185 responses of people repeatedly naming basically every curry place within a 5 mile radius, with some people saying one place is great, and others then saying it’s horrible. So basically no help at all.
On another post someone had found a driving licence from the 70’s and was trying to see if anyone knew the family so could be reunited. Of course, someone had to suggest they cover up the address on it as it was a fraud risk… FFS, are some scammers going to try and get their hands on their Greenshield stamps or something?

We get this two or three times a week, always with the same unsubstantiated list of every place in the area.Similar happens on the regular "can any salons do me a <whatever> tomorrow?" where people just randomly name places with no visibility of their diary.
This was posted up on nextdoor a few days ago, I've blanked out the name and address:
Well here's a thought, if it's local and you don't mind doing so, just pop it round (as I did a few weeks ago when we received a letter not meant for us) or just pop it back in a post box.
My god how do these people function on a daily basis and she'll be voting later today too!

"My cat has gone missing, please everyone check your sheds and garages."
Where I live, a cat going missing is usually around 24 hours. They don't seem to understand a cat can wonder off for a bit. Then you get you get "cat reunited with owner". So the cat just came back then. Queue lots of ste emojis of the smiley face hugging the heart.

My cat was stolen a couple of years back - he doesn't normally go out for more than 2 hours, so 12 hours later, we knew something was up, although we didn't post anything until the next day.Where I live, a cat going missing is usually around 24 hours.

Oh, and we knew he'd been stolen because one of our neighbours saw him being carried by some kids who said he was theirs.
Woman on my local Nextdoor on a desperate mission to return a card she found in a book she bought from a charity shop.
'The card is to Heather, from Mum and Dad'
And that's all the information we have!
Lots of super helpful and 'full time mummy at full time mummy' types proudly resharing the request up and down the country. So if you are Heather and you have a mum and dad, Karen from Burnley might have an old birthday card for you.

They are also always losing them, hence lots of posts about the latest fur baby
Monday they will post they have lost xyz staffy puppy
On Wednesday someone will helpfully say “I saw a lady with a similar puppy outside xyz school this morning”
The OP will come back eventually with “that’s me?”
Someone with half a brain who vaguely know op will join up the dots and say the dog was found on Tuesday, thanks everyone
The same thing will kick off on Friday, it repeats over and over, they never update / thank / delete the post
This is the house will old bikes, beds, reptile tanks/ car wings etc, in the middle of a nice new estate

Try living in a tourist town, every day, "We're coming in (usually about three months time) can anyone recommend a vegan/Scottish Breakfast/nice place for lunch/dinner/fish & chips/curry/afternoon tea/special occasion etc
The other one we get is who delivers/collects for Evri/Argos/DPD/Yodel/ etc. Being remote there are local delivery companies that pick up the bigger guys parcels. There's a "sticky" at the top of the FB page but no they have to ask again.
