We’ve improved ‘search’ on Friday-Ad.co.uk

We are in the first stages of improving the way you can search on Friday-Ad.co.uk. Along with giving our search results page a fresh, clener look, we've added a new search bar which means the search results are more accurate, plus it can do clever things like...

Spelt something wrong? Our dictionary can correct your spelling mistakes and return results.

Can't find what you're looking for? We'll suggest searches and return results that you may have been looking for.

Want to be more specific about the area that you search within? You can now search by town name or postcode. Choose the distance to search within your selected area from the options in the top search bar.

Want to see more ads? Adjust the area you are searching within with our distance slider!

Best of all you can filter the ads...

Filter your results! When your search results are returned you can filter the ads by selecting from, results found in, price, private or trade advertisers. If searching for a car you can filter by colour, body type, transmission, mileage and much more.

Take a sneaky peak and tell us what you think.

There are loads more changes to come but try out our new search bar today - Click here

Big Brothers axed, but what about the furniture?

So the nation is in a panic, what could they possibly do with themselves between the hours of 10:00pm - 11:00pm every night from May to September! Surely this is leaving a huge hole in peoples lives, perhaps they can start to fill it with a favourite past time called 'being sociable?'
Being one of the most influencial and popular TV shows that's graced our television screens over the past 10 years, it's finally is coming to an end. Big Brother will be axed after it's 11th and final show.

Yes, we've seen some 'characters' but among all that we have seen some amazing furniture! (Will the 'Ideal home exhibition' ever be the same again?) Any ideas where the furniture goes because i've got my money on one of the diary room chairs.
All those that have attempted to re-create the Big Brother house in their own homes may want to think about selling some of it. Surely the furturistic furniture is becoming antique in it's own right.
The ultra modern, quirky furniture may soon become a distant memory like Big Brother 4 - 9, which to be honest, can you remember a single winner?

We've gone 'Bargain' and 'Bizarre' crazy!!


We have launched fun new sections on Friday-Ad.co.uk, called 'Bargain Ads' and 'Bizarre Bazaar'. So if you spot an ad that interests you, just flag it as a bargain or bizarre and it will appear in our exclusive new sections.


Best of all, it means when the ads you place are flagged by users, your ad will receive additional exposure. Plus the more times people flag your ads the higher they will appear in the bargain and bizarre listings.


It's simple, it's fun and it will get your ads spotted quicker! Check out our bizarre section or our bargain section.
