AND [winks] winks]

Hi, deserving Where have you been? You have not posted for a while.

Got a little bored NSWaverly, must admit their a lot of better things to do.
Had another look after hearing the controversy associated with "mums net' wondered if it had in someway affected, or infected, Grans Net. Still don,t know because have not perused much yet.
Must admit Waverley, I don,t remember you?
Thats not saying much and is no reflection on you,more on my memory.From the little I,ve seen and am likely to see,some of the "clique" seem to be missing. I do hope they didn't lose interest when the thought they had lost their whipping person? I don't think they liked my humour, but analysing humour is like dissecting a frog, few are interested and the frog dies.Forgive me if I don't attribute, I got fed up of doing that as well.

Hi everyone,I am new here,I looked in yesterday and I come across a lady that was on her own,her husband had died about five years ago I think she said she was 74 years old,lived on Canvey in Essex had back problems,was lonely and would like to get out a bit for coffee or lunch,I am relaying all this in the hope someone might know who this lady is,as I would like to met up,I live in Rayleigh in Essex,hope to hear from someone.

Welcome, alex. Enjoy G'net. I hope you find the person you are looking for. Can you remember what thread she was posting on?

Wellcome +alex*

A warm welcome to all new members, from the expat who lives in the mountains. Please don't be put off by Deserving's remarks, there are no cliques and most of us are very nice.

Greatnan,members will not be able to read the remarks you refer to they have been deleted.Their was a misunderstanding, probably my fault,I was not aware that you were the only expat to live up a mountain,I still don't know if that is a fact.In any event I apologise to you personally, must be careful to make my generalisations more general.

Hi alex I have searched and found that a poster who lives at Canvey is called specialmo she is probably the one.

If you go to your inbox (a button up near the top of the page, next to "Log out" you can send her a private message. Just do "New Message" and put "specialmo" into the "to" box and it will get to her.

Welcome Alex!

The hills are alive with the sound of........gransnetters!

Welcome to GransnetAlex .Hope you enjoy it as I do.

Hi friendsusan, and welcome. I live abroad in the mountains too btw.
Bienvenue

Granjura, you are an imposter - you are a Swiss living in Switzerland, so you are not the expat on the mountain!

Racism of that ilk will not be tolerated - I am the only expat here on MY mountain (ooops no OH too- he is British but was born in SA, does that count) ... now I've had a British passport since 1973. Now I had to swear allegiance to the Queen in front of a Royal Commissioner for Oaths - did you? So there ...

Well I had to sign the Official Secrets Act and was vetted when I joined Inland Revenue - see!

Hi thanks for looking,I spent hours yesterday looking with no luck,them come on here to day and found her,I sent a email,then,would you believe I see your message.

Hello laidback, I am in Boston, but I last hailed from Greater Manchester, Heywood, in fact, via S.Yorkshire. Welcome to GN.

Hi Susan and all other newbies. Have you looked up your Gransnet Local site too? There's bound to be one close to you and you might fancy going to a meet-up near you?
