I was born in Worcester and like Denbylover came out to NZ in 1959 aged 11. I wonder if we were on the same ship! I'm proud to be a kiwi but theres something about England.

Hi farmgran I’ve sent you a PM.

Hi Denbylover, thanks very much for your message. I've tried to send you a message in reply but I'm pretty sure it didn't go. The internet here is bad at present, maybe more people are using it now we're in lockdown again.
Let me know whether my message arrived and if it didn't I'll send another!

Cambridgeshire, UK. I agree with comments on here re privacy. My somewhat prudish sister found me on here and queried why I would tell strangers about my bladder problem! blush

Geordie lass here, but lived a few places and settled in Isle of Thanet (aka Planet Thanet) in South East Kent, England.
Like some, I don't put out too much info. Thanet covers a fair few towns and small villages.
When you're on any social media just be careful of any information you're giving out. Even in those silly little games that ask for your birthdays etc. You never know where that info is going, or who to, or why!!
If you play the games try giving false dates, just to be on the safe side. If anyone asks for the area you live in, give a generalised area.
There are many reasons people don't want their exact towns/villages known on-line, safety being the most important!
Be safe, y'all, and have a lovely day xx

Funny about birthdates. If I think things are suss I give a different false date ,forget and then wonder why they are wishing me a Happy Birthday on some random day!

Cornwall here - did Ancestry DNA - replied to relative (2% dna), who then found my daughter and daughter in law on Facebook- asked DiL for my phone no!!! She then bombarded me with messages, claimed I was her long lost mother ( I would have been 8 when she was born) and I have been off both sites ever since - so it’s not always so innocent out there
