Miriam Margoyles - very outspoken lady

I’m really enjoying the book.

I enjoyed her documentaries in Australia but they ended abruptly because, I think, it was quite an exhausting experience for her.

Lucky's Dips it is! watch this space!!

I’m delighted to hear it and that you like my choice of title thread Luckygirl. Maybe choose a day each week - say Saturday morning - and put out a new review. I bet you’ll get loads of interest! It seems such a shame to have a stash of reviews on your ‘puter when we could be enjoying them on here.
👏👏

Am definitely not an old bag … am still a sassy 60 just … have also noticed on threads some GNs like to malign others and offend - perhaps this is their entertainment value ..wonder how MM would react- probably wouldn’t give a stuff🤣

Coming late to this thread (as I so often do) it would seem that she is "Marmite" While some GNetters love her others loath her.
Well, each to their own.
Personally, I much prefer Marmite.

^She was an only child in a close and loving family.^
Spoilt perhaps?

She reminds me of an adult version of Violet Elizabeth Bott.

Spoilt with love.
Her parents adored her.

I find calling fellow posters ‘old bags’ far more offensive than MM’s showing off. At least she doesn’t appear to generalise about whole groups of people and insult them based on one characteristic which is out of their control. This is a site for older people, and although ageism is offensive wherever it is found, it is depressing to see it on here.

If you think posters calling her an 'old bag' on here is bad, you should see the filth that's posted on Twitter/X about her.
Absolutely disgusting, and women are worse than the men.

No, it is GNers who were called 'old bags' .

Twitter is a cesspit (which doesn't excuse it), but when people on here talk about other posters in those terms it is worse, IMO. You expect it on T/X, but on a site for over 50s?

I think she is a much kinder person than the judgemental old "bags" here on GN !
She strikes me as someone who does care about people, not just in looking "couth"
How boring would most of GN would be on a chat sshow or in a memoir.
MM brightens up life and I find her a worthy person.
That she is vulgar does not bother me at all.

Try and say baggages instead next time, it sounds a bit better.
Are you not an older woman pinkquartz? Altho you can be a baggage at any age.

No, we're the old bags apparently.

Ageism on a forum aimed at older people

And no, I haven't got grey hair!

We shouldn’t be going after GNs of any age - but, I do have some grey hair which is hidden by new highlights 😀
