Fortunately it doesn't seem to happen often on this site but I dare say a number of members have seen what looks like it might be a 'spam advertising' post made today.

This caused me to look for a 'report' link but I could not find one. Are my eyes in need of a visit to a certain opticians ?

It's a wee pale ! at the very bottom right of the post.

Peter is fairly quick at dealing with spam.

Would it be the "Cookware" one by any chance? I was tempted to reply by asking if they wanted it to cook their spam in....

:D Elaine , you and I were on the same wavelength but I wasn't going to justify the post..... preferably the spam will be battered

Alan, it sure is a 'wee pale', and small. Thanks for the pointer I've now spotted it, cheers

You lot must have have been up and doing your emails much earlier than me!

Would it be possible to enlarge the "Report" icon or to include the word "report" for spam. It's pretty difficult to see.

Flaming heck, its got a bit like buses around here.
No spam for ages then a whole batch comes along together.

Some obviously enjoy frittering their time away.

Disappointment abounds :D

In this case they can all 'shoo' ( the jokes don't improve :) )

Yes, where ARE all the jokes?
We haven't had any on here for ages. Has there been a declaration that this year's summer will be humourless???

Oops
Looks like we've had quite a few visitors during the night.
Anyone know where I can get some men's shoes?

Sorry Primrose, I've done me best at double entendre, word play, and other forms of subtle and sometimes not so subtle humour :D

I have noted that had you taught at my school (which was not far from where you live) my report would have read 'must try harder'


oh hang on>>>>>> it did say that anyway :D
