is the "stones" system still in existence in sheff where people swap tasks or favours eg you mow my lawn, I'll fix your roof??

you show me yours and ill show you mine

I was in this in the mid 1990`s - it was called LETS Local Economy & Trading Scheme (or System). Not sure if it is still around though

Don't no about that one but there is a scheme going on in certain called changing times that puts you and your skill on a list and allow someone else to exchange that for somethime you need

I used to read about this in a magazine I got from a herbalist but never knew if it was any good. Did anyone use it?

Also, I couldnt think of any skills to barter!

Found it!!

Look at sheffieldlets.org.uk

Still exists. I thought it was called stones but thats the name of the "currency" they use

Cool, there is a similar sytem in York where they trade Yorkies/Favours.

Might look into this :)
