Good afternoon, I have just taken the plunge and joined gransnet after reading many discussions in the forums.
Looking forward to chatting and asking for much needed advice.

Welcome Maisiejo I hope you enjoy the site.

Christinefrancethat's not very a very nice observation,I'm sure Maisiejo will find the threads or information that she has an interest in and like a lot of people ignore the rest.

Christinefrance Sun 29-May-16 17:15:56

Entitled to make my observations but good to get a response tanith smile

Welcome maisiejo I hope you enjoy GN.

Christinefrance you seem to have made your mind up about the site already. Your prerogative

Christinefrance Sun 29-May-16 17:47:57

Yes ninathenana it is, just wanted to see if it was really so much sweetness and light.

wot Sun 29-May-16 17:48:55

Is it half term?

annodomini Sun 29-May-16 18:09:49

Who needs sweetness and light all the time? The oyster needs a little grit to make a pearl. sunshine

Alea Sun 29-May-16 18:17:08

Nobody ever promised sweetness and light.
Now courtesy and civility that is another matter hmm

Hello Maisiejo and welcome to GN. Lots of chat and advice, as well as the occasional heated discussion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and most people express it but it is all very democratic.

I've been on GN for a couple of years now, Christinefrance and not found it cliquey at all. What has made you feel like this? Have you had a bad experience of posting? If so, that is very sad but usually people are made welcome.

Christinefrance Sun 29-May-16 19:25:32
