ok

Been thinking those of us that are here have accsess to stuff lots thinking of coming here might like.

I mean simple stuff like daily papers,local press,shop flyers (tons of the bloody things each week) till recipts for shopping trips and so on.

those back in the uk have accsess to uk papers,local news and so on.

I for one wont pay $5 for a waterd down copy of a uk paper however I would happily put together a pack to post of the above items in return for similar from the uk.

this we all could do as each person has an 'area' they lived in live in and im sure all our usless flyers for those thinking of a move would be well recieved as would the reverse be true.

so any takers want to try??

all based on trust but hey im game

Justcol

good idea, i can send stuff from cambridge/hamilton/waikato region
local papers,flyers, house papers etc etc
for a few some up to date (ish) newspapers, maybe a copy of motorcycle news
and i'd love an argos catalogue but i think size and wieght might be an issue

Psychopandy

you really should get over the argos thing x

And we forgot the board game!!!

Why do you want hard copies when most things (inc the Argos catalogue) are available online for both countries?

george toni

for the same reason I still buy books to read and magazines to look at!

looking online is fine but you cant beat a real pice of paper for a sit down read and heck who take's a laptop into the bog when they have a crap

erm nice

I too love to flick through a hard copy yes it is on line but somehow just not the same.

Please note I DO NOT TAKE IN TOILET!

Nice idea though George, the swaping not the other

I'm happy to post out Property Press etc, but I can't think of anything I want or need in return. Robbie Williams' fiancee's head on a plate perhaps ...

Think the swap thing is a great idea by the way
