Does anyone else find the one liners preceded by # with words running together that some posters use annoying? I believe it has its origins in twitter, but as this isn't twitter .......

I once had a similar experience to Frank. I was at a meeting in a London hotel organised by a client, the BW shipping group. I wandered in, drank their coffee and sat down to listen to the introduction. Bit mystified that they were talking about canals. The Manchester ship canal perhaps? The Panama? But the Grand Union surely is not big enough for container ships.
Realised I was in the British Waterways meeting by mistake.

On my first day in a new job, the boss had written COP across many of the documents she passed to me. Didn't have a clue what that meant so I made a folder and put them all in there. It was only when she asked where all the work was that had to be dealt with by 'close of play' that the penny dropped. #stupidwoman.

If we are going to do hashtag comments they're meant to be brief. #justsaying. smile

I've just shared this thread on https://www.facebook.com/pages/Gransnet-Worthing/404797842935089 with the hashtag #We'reaWittyLotatGransnet as I think inserting capital letters makes them easier to read wink

Ariadne Sun 17-Feb-13 12:51:19

What, all of it? Is our own privacy safeguarded?

No! Looks awful...

j08 Sun 17-Feb-13 12:55:57

No! No capitals allowed! #notinthespiritofit. #andcheating

Ariadne Sun 17-Feb-13 12:57:27

Privacy? Please tell me; I do use FB quite a lot, but even with the anonymity of GN names would like to think that what is said here, stays here. Yes, I know GNHQ can quote us, but we are aware of that.

Think I may be being fussy, in which case I apologise in advance instead of afterwards! blush

Gransnet-Worthing most likely read all this away. #whatsthedifference

kittylester Sun 17-Feb-13 13:13:54

I'd like to know as well Ariadne confused
