We seem to have an international bunch of ladies so which town and country are you in?

Happy to say I live in England and give the county (Norfolk), but stating the town (or nearest town as I’m in the sticks) is a bit too much info for me on a public forum.

Not being critical or goady in any way, if anything I’m being naive, possibly dim.
But what exactly concerns you?
I tell folk quite a bit of stuff on here, should I be worried?
Thank you smile

A Channel Islander by birth but a Surrey resident from marriage, which was a disaster. I probably should have stayed at home. grin

A very proud midlander from birth,England.

Fanny there are many reasons a poster may not want to be too specific on a public forum.
I’m in England, south Hampshire Newatthis.

Liverpool born live on the outskirts.

Yes, Jacky, that’s precisely why I asked what those reasons might be.
I’m not asking anyone to reveal anything about themselves

Well I tend not to say which town I’m from as combined with various other bits of information eg a son in Sydney, my previous job Etc I would be identifiable to anyone who happened to be on GN and know me and I don’t think I want that!

FannyCornforth Tue 24-Aug-21 13:37:39

Thank you Lucca!
Someone on MN got in touch with me because I mentioned something that we had in common.
We had been mates at college thirty odd years ago. It turned out that we were both doing exactly the same job too.

dragonfly46 Tue 24-Aug-21 13:39:39

Lucca you are right.
I have been outed. I put something on here which was recognised by a member of GN who I believe doesn't post but I know her sister. It made me quite uncomfortable and now I have to watch what I say.
Needless to say she hasn't contacted me.

Ah 'reet! A Lancashire lass here

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 24-Aug-21 14:00:11

Hi Fanny. I put various bits of information about myself on posts but if I were to say exactly where I live I might well be identifiable. Or maybe someone I don’t wish to find me would get a whopping great clue as to where I now live. Norfolk is a big place so I’m happy to admit to that. I’m careful to limit the amount of personal info I give on a public forum as you never know who is reading, dare I say stalking even, and adding the information up. Sorry if I’ve made GN sound creepy, which isn’t my intention, but I think we always have to bear in mind that it’s a public forum which anyone can use.

Melbourne ,which is huge, so take your pick which suburb. I agree, you have to be a bit careful these days.
