Hi! I was just wondering if anybody else has seen any of these strange photos of Ainsley Harriott recently? He seems like quite a nice fellow and I find it strange that he is the subject for some scrutiny online? It happened to one of my favourite poets Michael Rosen too? I'm wondering if anyone else has seen about it?! Thanks smile

You seem to be quite pally with another 'Rout' on the 'Travelling to Paris with a Grandchild' thread.

I think you're a wind-up merchant but I can't imagine why you thought genuine Gransnetters would rush to share dubious fb images of Ainsley Harriot, or anyone else for that matter.

Or are you perhaps Ainsley himself - out for a bit of publicity? grin

plamrout - you could Search for his contact info and ask. I think he'd ignore stuff like that, everyone in the public eye must get loads of it.

Hi Indinana! It's a joke I have with a few friends, my surname is Rout and there was a funny story I used to have about Plums which ended up switching the 'U' into an 'A' hence the word plam smile

plamrout are you for real? Your profile is, erm, a little strange to say the least. Your username is definitely weird. What on earth made you think of it? confused No, on second thoughts, please don't tell me shock

Hi Alea, I just found it interesting and was wondering if anyone else seemed interested too! Have a nice day smile

Alea Tue 12-Jan-16 10:23:27

What exactly is your point?

Apart from flogging a dead horse thread, this seems a total waste of space.

Hi everyone! I managed to find a few more examples, anybody understand what these are all about?

plamrout Mon 11-Jan-16 21:20:13

Oh Ana, I'm starting to think the same thing! LOL

Ana Mon 11-Jan-16 21:15:44

I think it was a mistake to start this thread.

plamrout Mon 11-Jan-16 21:00:29

This is the sort of thing I have seen! I think its relatively amusing, what does everyone else think???

Forgot to add this one is titled John Wayne-sley.

This is one photo from the fb page. There are lots more - no idea why confused

Elegran Mon 11-Jan-16 20:06:13

No, you need to be a member to see Facebook pages.

Ana Mon 11-Jan-16 20:03:22

No idea.

plamrout Mon 11-Jan-16 19:52:38

Oh dear Ana, I wonder if there is another way of viewing the page?

Ana Mon 11-Jan-16 19:47:29

That link's not much use if you're not on fb...hmm

GranRout Mon 11-Jan-16 19:46:04

This appears to be the root of the problem!!!!! Back in my day i would never have expected the future generations to be doing this for fun!!!!

There has been some unusual edited photographs if him and I must say they can be amusing sometimes! I was just wondering if he is aware or if anybody else has seen them? smile

Jalima Mon 11-Jan-16 19:25:52
