I feel so angry with Meghan & Harry

A cure for insomnia.
I will tape it and play it back at bedtime.
NOT.

trisher will we get stamps and a divvy?

Stamps and dividends will be dependant on the net profit accrued after all expenses have been paid. Senior officers of the cooperative have already indicated a real necessity to stay at the Savoy, so I wouldn't depend on it if I was you.

I thought the divvy was now living in the sunny uplands of California NellG?

I would like to have the kudos of being a Senior Gran, but don’t think I’m senior enough although I have had Matty Hancock’s jab. However, I like to think I am royal enough to gain entry. I can borrow grandaughters’s sparkly tiara from her dressing up box.

Harry and Megan are hypocrits. They negotiate deals for loads of money on the basis that they are caring and do a lot for charity. I'm don't think the people who cannot pay their bills or feed their kids will want to watch Oprah.

The savoy heh Trisher, we are all senior Grans but some are more senior than others.

Well some said the Savoy- I should point out that other hotels are available.

Callistemon years ago, I kept reading about a shop called Hennes in all the magazines. It was the place to go, to be on trend. On a trip to London, I persuaded DH to accompany me to it, (with my secret stash of cash) . I was in and out in five minutes with nothing. What a disappointment!!!

Marydoll most of my children's clothes were home-made by me but I remember taking DD1 to Hennes when she was about 8 and she chose her first 'fashionable' outfit from a shop.
It was very nice, a little skirt and waistcoat and a white frilly blouse!

She wore it with her tiara
(We're impoverished aristos, it's the upkeep of the crumbling stately pile that drains our inheritance.)

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.

Can I apply to be a SAGGIE please. I have many of the qualities implied in the title, and would be a natural at naked twister. Are we divided in to classes of saggie? Extreme saggie, a tad saggie, on the way to sagginess but not quite there yet?

NellG: who can resist a joke about the Bishop and the actress...

Wish I was so quick-witted.

Go Meghan go Meghan. Team Meghan here.

Go Meghan go Meghan.

She heard you, Nezumi!
She went
But not quietly

Go Meghan, you are so right Nezumi65, how very observant, she certainly did.

Nooooooo trisher I don't want a cooperative. I want to be a RG. It's not fair. I'll never get my Oprah interview if I don't have a title.

I can't knit either maddyone which is why I get one my staff to knit for me but if I'm not a RG whose going to knit for me?

I wish Oprah would get off the 'phone so I can tell her I might be losing my RG status and we need to get that interview done now.

It is not Harry's fault.its Meghan she is a spoilt madam .what she wants she gets .its a pity harry didn't get to know her first before he married her.

Now, I’ve only been on Gransnet for a few months so maybe I’m missing something, but.... “a spoilt madam”? moggie57 how could you possibly know that?

Utterly bizarre.

H is as much to blame as she is moggie. He's condoning this interview and the trashing of his family by being a part of it.

Maybe he thinks that not being present throughout he can distance himself and if he think that, Pontious Pilate springs to mind.

Lemongrove I have been mulling over whether rampant bloaters is on a par with Nell Gwynne’s oranges. I used to have a tiara, but it was only a little one, does that count?

Not so much a spoilt madam as an American actress through and through. Their reality, I am sure they just lap it up overall there. Huge,huge cultural differences and what wth Trump and the way many of the populace went on, a bridge too far. Harry has to either adjust to it or go under. Let’s hope it is the former

I have to wonder how many people here are projecting their issues with their own DILs and daughters - the level of personal affront here is really odd.

Whatever, though, the RF environment sounds pretty toxic to me so maybe, just maybe, they are right to leave it behind.

Could be. Or too much believing the Mail who hate her with a passion that borders on obsession.

I agree nanna8. I have no idea whether she is lovely or a complete cow, but I can see that most women entering the RF have struggled - which should tell us something, and the media has been toxic about her - without producing anything I would class as actual evidence.

The fake pregnancy stuff made me realise why they wanted out. Good luck to them.

I personally don’t care what any of them do as long as they are not taking tax payers money to do it

Ellianne

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

Hello! I'm here, somewhat late to the party. I haven't RTFT yet.
Re socks - yes, there was quite a debate about them on the Argument Thread (which I think is due a bit of a comeback tbh).
Re Senior Grans - I wonder what I am? I've only been here since last Autumn
In fact, I'm not even sure if I should be here at all

I've just tried to book my interview with Oprah but it defaulted to the royal box at The Coli. Is Aida Oprah's sidekick?

OK you can join the RG, but it's now a requirement of joining that you either never say another word (Bye bye Oprah) or after a short period you flounce off angrily insisting all the other GNs are being nasty to you. If you do this you will be guaranteed an Oprah interview, but before you can do it the RGs will demand the return of all tiaras.
