I just had to share this one with you....
I have an ad which I thought was pretty clear. I have specifically mentioned localish (not really more than an hour away).
There have been a few who ignored this and replied anyway, even though they are 150< miles away.
But the one this morning topped the lot.... 2,443 miles away :shock:
Has anyone had one further than that?
It depends !
If you are a couple or single female placing an ad', then local means about 30 miles radius (or thereabouts).
If you are a single guy replying to an ad', then local really means 'anywhere outside the arctic circle'
Hehe - sad but true.
I very rarely get any 'local' replies. My own fault for living in a beautiful but sparsely populated part of the country.
H.
On another site there was a couple who contacted me asking if I wanted to fly over for the weekend - we sort of lost touch after I asked if they would pay my air fare!
It depends on where the journey takes you. Fifty miles by motorway is nothing, fifty miles through a busy urban area, or twisty country roads is a different matter.
Local roughly translated from a horny single persons dictionary! "As long as iam guaranteed a bit of action i will consider any distance local" Seriously though its like asking how long is a piece of string? can mean different to each individual.
Anyway hi Pololady hows you?
An expression I picked up on is 'run across the road', originating from the USA.
Make of it what you want, but its fairly descriptive.
