It’s 15 years ago today that Gransnet went ‘live’.

Happy birthday Gransnetters. Can’t remember for the life of me how many years ago I found you all. I’m not one for poking my head above the waterline and generally only occasionally post a comment but you’ve kept me laughing, weeping, informed me and kept me envious through everything life is throwing at me and you. Thank you all x. flowers

I wish I could remember when I joined. But I seem to have been on here for ever. And every visit to GN has been a pleasure. So thank you, and very happy birthday wishes to everyone involved.

I joined at the beginning of Covid 19 pandemic and am so glad I did.

Bit late posting this. So missed the birthday celebrations. Apologies

Been on Gransnet less than a year but now read it and usually post something every day. Look forward to receiving my lunch time email

People may have noticed my posts are erratic at all hours of the day and night. Due to painkiller medication timing and sleep needed for chronic joint pain.

Also difficult to type from my mobile . So l leave space between paragraphs. Also l am recovering from a broken wrist at the moment which is very painful.

I really am becoming fond of Gransnet and the people who post on it.

Always lots of different important ,current topical subjects and other matters are discussed.

Some stuff isn't my cup of tea. And opinions vary widely
But there is a wealth of stuff l can really relate to

People are knowledgeable, don't talk rubbish and are usually very kind and helpful. And well mannered.

Their opinions may sometimes be very diverse.

But their advice and experience is send to none. Invaluable.

As explained, my mobility and medical problems are quite restricting . So, it is often difficult to get out.

Have lived by myself for many years and have no close family. My friends are now dying off or have health problems So it is good to be in touch with good people and the outside world.

Feels like touching base on a daily basis

Thank You.

Happy Birthday Gransnet

Well, it’s lovely that so many GN posters are celebrating the 15th birthday of GN, with special reminiscences, but where are the voices of those that started Gransnet? ( ie GNHQ).
A word from them would have been nice, wouldn’t it?
