It's in the back of my mind when I'm on here that some of us have disappeared since the onset of C19. Who are we missing?

Your message to me doesn’t make any sense Rufus
Blimey! Is there no end to my fan club tonight? Hope you can see the end of the queue! Lemongrove. hmm
I was simply trying to pay you a compliment even though my guess that you had been Jalima was wrong, but you appeared to have similar impeccable tastes. For example, she had enquired last year for details of costs of riding on the Ghan from Darwin, but only platinum class, top price, over $6,000 one-way! sad
I've sussed out who she now is, so please accept my apologies for the confusion. grin
Cheers

Haven’t seen connor post for a while

lemongrove Mon 08-Jun-20 19:39:09

Connor ? That’s a new name to me GG13 ?

Fennel Mon 08-Jun-20 20:40:25

I changed my name, which is my real name, a few years ago when some GN threads were published in the press, with user names.
Also there are at least 2 other gransnetters who have the same real name as me.

GrannyGravy13 Mon 08-Jun-20 21:02:40

lemongrove Connor was the on Micks good morning thread

sodapop Mon 08-Jun-20 21:07:37

Ok I'm losing the will now.

I just reply to the user name in the post and haven't a clue if its a new poster, a rose by any other name or someone with multiple identities smile

Chewbacca Mon 08-Jun-20 21:38:04

How do you go about changing your name? I fancy being Spartacus for a while.

GrannyGravy13 Mon 08-Jun-20 22:07:47

Chewbacca I to am Spartacus

BlueBelle Mon 08-Jun-20 22:11:40

sodapop Me too you re not alone I haven’t a clue who anyone is I just take them at face value ...a name I wouldn’t have a clue if they metamorphosed into Jack the Ripper

GagaJo Thu 11-Jun-20 20:29:11

Still no sign of MOnica. Maybe her cold was the virus. As much as we didn't always agree, I really hope she's OK.

NfkDumpling Thu 11-Jun-20 21:45:29

M0nica did get upset a while ago when she was rather picked on, but I can't remember which thread it was. She said she was leaving. Maybe she has. Hopefully she'll come back under a new name - or perhaps she has!

GagaJo Thu 11-Jun-20 22:25:14

That's not so bad. As long as she's OK.

Fennel Fri 12-Jun-20 12:41:47

I didn't know that she'd been picked on. That's shame - she's much missed.

Maggiemaybe Fri 12-Jun-20 12:57:10

I can’t imagine M0nica being chased off. She always dealt with the nonsense on here calmly and fairly, ime. I miss her common sense and informative posts.

12Michael Sun 14-Jun-20 17:16:31

One person that I have not seen posts from is someone from Northampton username cannot recall.

Bellanonna Sun 14-Jun-20 17:33:19

Petra? From Southend I think

BlueBelle Sun 14-Jun-20 18:01:49

I don’t think MONica would leave because of anybody she s a very articulate well measured lady who sounded strong I d be more worried she’s not well I also don’t think she’d go undercover with a new name I may be totally wrong but I do hope she is ok

NfkDumpling Sun 14-Jun-20 20:22:05

I hope she’s ok. It’s awful not knowing. Perhaps HQ could just say whether she has left or is not posting? If she's left at least we’ll know she is ok.

annsixty Sun 14-Jun-20 20:44:23

We did have a discussion about this some time ago.
I have a GN friend who would ring me if I didn't post for some time, also I have told my D to ring her if the "worst " should happen.

Juliet27 Sun 14-Jun-20 20:50:55

Not seen BradfordLass for some time

I think the poster from Northampton is BlueSapphire.

sharon103 Sun 14-Jun-20 21:04:00

I've not seen anything from a lady that lived on a narrow boat (barge?)

Narrowboat ? something. Can't remember the exact user name.

Callistemon Sun 14-Jun-20 23:32:28

M0nica has not responded to pms but they have gone through.

I hope it could mean that she is having a break (and who could blame her!) and intends to come back at some point.

BlueBelle Mon 15-Jun-20 05:38:41

Yes I found that callistemon she hasn’t closed her account which is more worrying really let’s hope she’s just having a break and will pop up again
I used to belong to a local forum and there was a lovely lady who I ‘talked‘ to, an ex nurse, one day she just stopped posting out of the blue, it was about five years ago I ve never heard a word since, no one on the site knew her personally or her name so we never had any clue if she was just fed up or something worse
