Sometimes when I'm out and about I see an interesting woman of a certain age and wonder if she could be a Gransnetter. I was in London recently and kept bumping into someone who wore patterned leggings, an orange fleece and had short bright hair. She looked feisty (but all in the best possible taste). I even imagined a particular Gransnetter for that one.

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

A GN designed diamond necklace?

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......

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.

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 hmm

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.
