Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    So, we have threads for just about everything, but what about most bizarre advert.

    Here's one for starters.

    http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/2535988

    So, the candles have been done and there are rear seats in the refrigerator to eat???????????????????????

    It even has 4+1 doors (errr, doesn't that make 5?)

    Sounds more like a foreign national using google translate (Ewa is a Polish name I think). Candles is probably lights.

    The fridge thing could mean there's a fridge in the rear seats maybe?

    I sort of understand the 4+1 door part - estates and hatchbacks are often called 5 door cars, while saloons are 4 door.

    It would be bizarre if the person writing it had English as their first language but they obviously don't.

    I took candles to be the spark plugs as they have just been renewed as well as the oil and filters.

    The word in German for a bulb is the same word for a pear. If someone were to advertise that a car needed a new pear it wouldn't make sense.

    Worst thing is that, in spite of the above, Ewa most likely has better English than most of us have of any foreign language.

    Ah, that makes more sense than lights.

    The poster most likely had English before they moved.

    Most continentals speak two languages.
