Who would you like to meet. That’s it really, though they must be living. And can we add GNers one would like to meet.

Could GSM come back as eg Alsationsauntie? I do wish she would.

I've bored GN too with my story of spending a day with George Harrison when he was house hunting in Cornwall and my husband was an estate agent. We took him everywhere in our car. He was the loveliest man, so humble. No-one recognised him!

I'd love to meet the Danish executive and his wife who lost three children in an explosion on holiday and have since had three more children. I'd be so interested to hear how they've coped.

Gransnetters... far too many lovely people to mention, though karmalady and I could probably talk all day about wood and tools. 🤣🤣 If we could find the time ha ha.

David Attenborough. I remember watching him on our black and white tv with my parents and sister in the 1950s. From then on I have watched him throughout my 78 years. It will feel like I have lost a family member when he dies.

I would love to meet some of the people I have known in the past Some as friends and others to see what they have achieved in life and wish them well

Only one person but unfortunately he’s dead. My hero, Ernest Shackleton.

The word hero is now much overused, but Shackleton truly was a great hero, such grit and determination to do what he did those men saved must have been so grateful.

I know what you mean NanKate. David Attenborough was part of my childhood too. There's no one to equal him and he will be a great loss. I hope he'll continue for several more years yet.

I’d like to meet and chat to Michael Palin and Michael Portillo so well travelled, interesting, intelligent and I would say wise.

I'd love to meet Paul Simon and remind him of one of the more unusual folk clubs he sang in whilst he lived in London in the 60s - Chislehurst Caves!!

Mt61. We weren't IN their dressing room. We were outside in the street. We suspected they were in there and a girl climbed up and broke a pane of glass We took turns peering in. We saw Ringo. Later George came to the broken window to chat to us. We didn't have tickets but a roadie left a side door open and we saw the show. I floated home. I have many tales to tell and frequently do so Mizuna Lucky you.

When I was young I worked for a theatrical agent and that cured me of wanting to meet actors or interesting personalities!!
I think it is possible llfl and I could enjoy a good chat, her posts remind of a dear long gone friend and we seem to have some common interests.

moleswife I used to go to Chislehurst Caves in the 60s!

Why can’t GSM come back? I can’t imagine she would ever have said anything that bad. Controversial,yes, but never spiteful. Maybe the person who reported her should have a good hard look at themself.

I would like to meet my bio father and tell him what I thought of the way he treated my bio mother.
I would like to meet up with BlueBelle we have similar views on a lot of things and lived in the same place for a while.

In retrospect I would like to meet 99% of GN members, the majority come across as caring and empathetic.

Irrespective of political views, life circumstances, being different which makes things interesting.

This.

People are interesting, always something to learn.

Why only the living? Abraham from Ur of the Chaldees might be interesting.

Thank you * Sodapop* maybe we ll get a coffee together one day

👍👍BlueBelle

Can’t think of anyone famous I’d want to meet but would like to meet any Gransnetters.

I have been fortunate enough to meet several GN’s in real life and, without exception , all have been positive experiences. Indeed, when I lost my DH it was ladies I met on GN who offered support, friendship and understanding on a level that even some of my nearest and dearest weren’t able to match.

I’m eternally grateful for all of you , even those who probably wouldn’t see eye to eye with me on some things.😉

🤣 really - great days!

Wonderful days.

Just come to me who I would love to meet - it would have to be June Slater from YouTube! She’s not a celebrity, but a down to earth “Northern lass”, who talks common sense- very politically minded, doesn’t suffer fools 😊

Oh Esme Young, Can I come tooAskAlice ?

Of course. I think Esme Young would have some great stories to tell and full of mischief!

She has. Esme was a speaker at a big WI event I went to and she had the place in stitches with her risqué stories. I managed a quick word with her afterwards and she has a mischievous twinkle in her eye. We spoke about the idea of reinstating needlework into the school curriculum. Lovely lady with an enormous, vividly coloured necklace which could have been seen from space.
