    I think if you put your location in as 'Dublin' it defaults to Fingal. Rang a few people about cars over the last few days and none of them are in Fingal :)

    Oh right :D I was starting to think all the Fingal ads were fake or something..

    As above it seems to be doing this with all ad's regardless of what they are. Mind you I put my proper location in an add and it still comes up with a different area!

    It's a bit of a pain in the arse TBH cos you can't trust the location at all, it might say Dublin but one of the ones I rang was in Waterford and the guy was saying that he's been getting calls asking whereabouts in Dublin he's based but he's never in Dublin.

    TBH I wouldn't trust the Gumtree site for anything , wouldn't buy a dessicated cat turd off it.
