Recognising other Gransnetters

Me I,m not worried what you look like. You are all interesting although the exchanges do let my imagination run riot at some of your replies. Oh I bet she's a leftie or I bet she hates all governments. She sounds like fun or I don't think we would get on.

As for me of you see a little, four eyed, fat bleach blonde woman who is as wide as she is tall then you have spotted me. My husband thinks it's great beacause my coffin could be the old box our washing machine has just been delivered in, totally square!Old miser he'll do anything not to spend money on me.

POGS

Hey butter, like that! You look very nice!

And Ill have a wee velvet red cocktail hat...smothered in sequins and finished with a cheeky spotted veil...

I'll have a Gainsborough hat with a feather!

Please may I wear a bright scarlet fascinator?

Hello butter your just as I imagined apart from I thought your hair might be longer

I'll be wearing a chic crimson cloche (hat!) with appliqued flowers.

I was chatting to a lovely Lady when I was away in York and I imagined she was a Gransnetter, I don't know what I would have said to her

At U3A Easter school, any number of women could have been Gransnetters, but there was no way of finding out. I had a chat to Maggie Smith about it, because she had done our web chat.

glass - you have a good imagination, and my hair is now longer! .

Perhaps we could have a discreet GN pendant or key fob? Although on second thoughts, not a pendant, it'd be like those name necklaces......

A GN designed diamond necklace?

Yes! Free to every GN member! (HQ please take note - we would require very high quality diamonds)

You get it on posting your profile and photo!

Failing that, we could always design a subtle tattoo - on the wrist perhaps?

"When I'm an old woman I shall wear purple with a red hat that doesn't go and doesn't suit, and I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves and satin sandals and say we have no money for butter..." I just love this poem by Jenny Joseph!

It's a good one '-and learn how to spit!'

BUT...we won't adopt that habit as a way of recognising each other!

Oh?

jeni!

Once a medical student always a medical student! I seem to remember that they were the most rambunctious bunch in the whole university in my day. Don't think they ever quite grow up.

Particularly down the union bar on a sat night! ( hold him down,you Zulu warrior etc)

butter my middle name is gypsy rose glass

Perhaps there should be a GN greeting which you could say when you see a potential GN who, if they were a GN, would then reply with a GN response!

Perhaps a new thread is needed to think of a greeting and rsponse!
