A thread for people who have been on GN a long time

Jura has returned numerous times with different names. Some time ago she left announcing gransnet was bad for her mental health. So far as I’m aware she isn’t currently posting - posters don’t get banned because “some people” don’t believe they have a right to post on gransnet

On the last count I think there were 6 different user names.
She should have been banned when she posted very personal information regarding GreatNans daughter.

Sorry MayBee a case of post hoc,non ergo propter hoc

You really don't know the full story behind Greatnan's disappearance so I think it's very unfair of you to raise that subject.

I don't think changing your username is against the rules, unless you are coming back as a previously banned poster.
GNHQ approached me very recently about that very thing because someone here obviously feels I shouldn't be on GN.
All it took was an honest explanation. GNHQ looked into it and were happy with my profile.

Agree MayBee70 am also an ad hoc poster but Never changed my name as posters have replied on post and PM’d -🙏to these posters as u never know what frame of mind anyone is in🙏and very thankful of all replies 🤗 negative or otherwise 🙏

Jura is French speaking Swiss.
I have also had this nonsense about not understanding anything about the UK if you don't live there. I have to say that coming back to live in England after 20 years in France, there is nothing that has come as a surprise. This is probably because I have always been in close touch with my children, grandchildren, extended family and friends, TV, radio, newspapers, the internet, regular visits and even Gransnet.

MayBee - no one can know the full circumstances about greatnan’s fall. What I recall is Jura criticising her for walking in the mountains alone.

Actually some of us do know the circumstances of Greatnsns fatal accident but that is not at issue.

Petra has made the point that Jura should have been banned when she posted very personal information regarding Greatnan’s daughter some time earlier and as a result they fell out big time as she had betrayed a confidence.
Just trying to set the record straight..

Thanks MawsRosie.

So you now live in the UK again Mamie? Welcome back.

So you now live in the UK again Mamie? Welcome back.

Yes, we have been back for six months. I won't go into the details of my husband's serious illness and consequent disability, but it was time to come home.

@Iam64 hello. We had some lovely meet-ups in the North West in the early days . I remember WhenIam64 organising things. I think she left after Greatnan’s accident.

Ah I wouldn’t want to intrude Mamie concerning your reasons. That’s personal stuff and I respect that. It was just that I’d twigged you were back here is all. Best wishes from me for your family situation.

Thank you. We could not have had more kindness and support in France, but in the end home is where you need to be, isn't it.

Best wishes from me to you and your husband * Mamie*. I used to follow your posts from France and hope you are settling back in the UK.

Thank you. The move with post-Brexit rules was a nightmare, but we have settled in very comfortably now.

Medical treatment is excellent in Spain Mamie but I totally agree with you. When Himself needed chemotherapy we
were both grateful to live where we do. It’s comfort in the known I think.

The treatment in France was amazing and saved his life, but managing all of it for three years alone was very hard. Having said that we have had a great NHS follow-up response here.

Waves to seasider. Yes I enjoyed those early north west meets.
Whenim64 did leave along with some other good posters.

Please direct me to where in my post I mentioned GreatNans disappearance because I’ve read it several times and can’t see where I did.

I am puzzled as to why people remove themselves then return under another name.

Thanks Maws

Been here from I think it was 2012 so yes remember lots of those names.
I enjoyed GN in those days it was soft kind and gentle, helpful.

I do pop in now n then but very rarely now, in fact had to change my password and really couldn't be bothered.

But I did this morning so I could pop in have a quick look around and have posted this morning which is unusual for me these days.

I don't think I would miss it if it was taken down and disappeared into thin air.

Does anyone hear from the poster who was originally. mosaicwarts? She then changed her username to something nicer but I can't recall what.
She was on a moving house stress thread for ages as she was trying to sell her big house near Berwick on Tweed.
I hope she's keeping ok.
