The school holidays are upon us and no doubt we will get the usual influx of posts attempting to annoy, upset or shock us. I would like to send a message to those thinking of posting along those lines:

Many of us were teenagers in the 60s so there is nothing you can post which we haven't said, heard, seen or done. (In addition we got to see all the cool bands)

All your silly posts do is make us feel sorry you think this is the only way to have fun. Why not go and ask your gran how she had fun when she was your age? On second thoughts perhaps you shouldn't as you may be in for a shock wink

What? When is somebody deemed to be overweight?

What measures are used to determine " working class"

Where does the North begin? The North of which country?

Oh dear sad

Lily65 Mon 08-Apr-19 18:29:03

ey up! I like a bun me, or a pikelet or a barm or a cob or a stottie

Riverwalk Mon 08-Apr-19 18:31:05

That's a grenade not a bun! Maryeliza shock

Oh dear - what have I started! I began this thread as a light hearted note to those who think they can upset the Grans (and yes they do seem to increase during school holidays).

If there are any buns going - I'll have one!

M0nica3 Quote [ If yu have seen pictures of the people jailed for vile and abusive posts threatening death etc. There have been a number of these trials, one chap has been jailed several times.

They all seemed to be overweight unemployed graduates from northern working class areas. That is a statement of the profile of those convicted, not a sterotyping if this group.] End Quote

Well, I am totally lost in regard to how the above is relevant to this thread or any other thread or recent topic to honest.

Great Stuff. grin

I do hope that week old stottie I just lobbed towards the Southern softies’ camp didn’t take anyone’s eye out. grin

Lily65 Mon 08-Apr-19 18:45:55

I like to think of you in a pinafore ( like When the boat Comes in) lobbing a stottie.

Riverwalk Mon 08-Apr-19 18:48:05

Just don't be throwing any meat and potato pies!

Lazigirl Mon 08-Apr-19 18:51:19

Were any of these abusive fatties bun wielding grannies Monica?

Maggiemaybe Mon 08-Apr-19 18:53:32

Why aye, hinny, just wait till the pease pudding starts flying!

Grandad1943 Mon 08-Apr-19 19:09:50

I consider myself working class. Overweight, no. Undergraduate, no.
Northern, some people may consider Somerset to be in the north, but possibly not.

So, does one out of four qualify for the above stereotype? confused

Day6 Mon 08-Apr-19 19:25:06

Ah...maybe Grandad.

How many Grannies have you tried to put the wind up lately? grin

kittylester Mon 08-Apr-19 19:29:12

I'm an inbetweenie!! I'm not a graduate, definitely overweight, my mum said I am middle class and I've just taken my pinny off! I feel bewildered.

Grandad1943 Mon 08-Apr-19 19:30:10

Ah, there are a few that could possibly come to mind Day6.

And wind is a thing I am often not short of. wink

M0nica Mon 08-Apr-19 19:52:38

grandad this thread is about humourles trolls on gransnet. These were humourless trolls, and rather nasty with it.

I made it very clear I was not doing any stereotyping, just describing those who made it into court and the media - and they were graduates, not undergraduates.

I actually was very surprised by the profile of the very few who made it into court and the media and I am certainly not suggesting that this is typical.

Grandad1943 Mon 08-Apr-19 20:00:23

M0nica, with every respect but I feel that it is you with your earlier post that has brought great humour to this thread.

By the way, were these humourless Trolls who have been taken to court for posting on Grans Net all of one gender, Men?

Lily65 Mon 08-Apr-19 20:07:02

any links please to these pasty eating Northern trolls?

Grandad1943 Mon 08-Apr-19 20:09:11

By the way M0nica, why are you only addressing your post to me. After all, there were a number of other forum members who found great humour in your post of 18:13pm today. Why single me out?

M0nica Mon 08-Apr-19 20:17:12

I was replying to your question.
