All the drivel about privacy and they do an interview with Oprah. I feel ashamed for Harry that he feels the need to air his dirty linen in public. What do they get from this? I have no idea. Prince Philip is in hospital and I just feel like saying shame on you both.

Are Aussies allowed in ? I can knit socks and I’m a gt. grandma! I can be rude and cheeky,too

I’m losing the plot.
Are we trying to flush out the very naughty senior Grans for being bossy to Blossoming?
Or are we auditioning to become part of the senior Gran pack so that we can infiltrate and stop them being bossy to Blossoming.
Either way I’m now rolling down my jama pant leg before it stops my circulation.
Night night Grans, senior or otherwise.

Thank you for cheering me up - I haven’t laughed so much in ages. Don’t know how I even got here - I never read RF threads ?

Oh dear I am now giggling at pictures in my head of naked senior grannies tying bits of themselves in knots! ?????

Naked Twister game at the Darby and Joan club.....?

When I first joined Gransnet, there was a kerfuffle between some of the grans and someone said that ‘certain members felt they were Gransnet Royalty.’

Bearing in mind how many threads we get referring to the RF, I think this is a fitting description for senior/long established members.

I ve been avoiding this thread like the plague sitting on my hands so I don’t get involved in the witch-hunt but I m loving it now....
I do wear Jim jammies and one leg is definitely sometimes up , now socks ummm what is it ? one on and one off not quite clear ? I can wiggle one little toe independent of the other toes ...can that count Answers on a post card please
Am I in or out put me out my misery ?

Ellianne Sat 06-Mar-21 08:24:29

Gransnet royalty?
Now that is a completely different matter! Nothing to do with our longevity on GN suits me. The only problem being some GNs have a bit of a problem with relative newcomers to the family throwing their weight around and wanting their voice to be heard (Meghan)!

Ellianne Sat 06-Mar-21 08:26:05

Am I dreaming it ir havent we already done socks to death elsewhere? Fanny?

Good idea for a new game when my active retirement group gets to meet again!!! grin

Couldn’t an apprenticeship scheme be introduced so we could learn ‘on the job’?

NannyJan53 Sat 06-Mar-21 08:44:38

I think there are more important issues to be angry about at the moment.

NellG Sat 06-Mar-21 08:58:48

I propose a splinter group for those of us who don't meet the criteria - the Secret Alternative Group of Grans - Independent, Equal and Separate!

The SAGGIES will make a bid for mob rule.

I seem to have missed all the fun last night, is it too late to make a bid to be part of the Royal Gran Clan?crown
Failing that, the GN Mafia or the one just proposed by Nell will do.....as long as I am the Boss.?
I already have one pj leg shorter than the other ( due to my dodgy talents in hemming) so will have no need to roll one up, and I can do any amount of unusual handshakes and contorted positions?
If admitted to the Royal Gran Clan I insist on having the diamond and emerald tiara I have my eye on, and if thwarted will ‘thcream and thcream and thcream’ ( yes, my name is Violet Elizabeth Meghan Lemongrove.)

Grannybags Sat 06-Mar-21 09:19:35

I'd like to be a SAGGIE please - I'm sure I'd fit in better than trying to be part of the Royal Gran Clan!

LauraNorder Sat 06-Mar-21 09:23:22

Did somebody say ice cweem. I’ll have a ninety nine please.

littleflo Sat 06-Mar-21 09:23:28

She is in a ‘no win’ situation. She had no idea what was in store fore her as a member of the Royal family. As a mature woman she was expected to completely change her personality. The constraints must have been unbearable.

I don’t agree with the way that things were done. Once they knew that this was not the life for them, they should have just given up everything and lived a life without the royal privileges.

Some awful things have been said about her in the press. The majority of which, seem to blame her and exonerate Harry. She is not the type of person to go quietly. She will not put up with being blamed and pilloried for the rest of her life.

I am in the minority I think, in having some sympathy for her. I shall not watch the programme, but I would be dishonest to say I won’t read the reports in the newspapers.

I might be a Senior gran, I've been here since almost the beginning and I'm 72. I haven't banned anyone!

When was the beginning?
Obviously this means I definitely don’t qualify as a ‘senior’.
I hope that being a senior isn’t too stressy for those of you who do.?

lemongrove having revealed your full name to us I strongly suspect a fifth column... I'm afraid you will have to perform the full range of contortions and submit a video for scrutiny, we will also be measuring your hems. Further tests of your loyalty will be random and pointless. Including being able to consume a full afternoon tea from a rolling trolley on top of a tour bus. Except we can't afford LA, so it'll probably involve being strapped to the roof of a dial a ride minibus in Accrington. It's all we can stretch to.

NellG Sat 06-Mar-21 09:29:01

Grannybags Yer in. Await the secret signal...

LauraNorder Sat 06-Mar-21 09:29:32

Royal Grans sounds appealing as long as I can have a title please
LauraNorder Ducksegg of Somesex.

My son Peckin must remember he’s a spare.

Marydoll you forgot the secret onesie - whoops cat out of bag time.

lemongrove Sat 06-Mar-21 09:34:17

I’m definitely up for that Nell and am ace at travelling at speed on the top of a dial-a-ride, it’s what I do all the time to avoid laying the fare ( though not in Accrington) so that will be new for me.Will there be bloater pastel sandwiches?

lemongrove Sat 06-Mar-21 09:35:04

Paying, not laying ( although I would be laying down)??
