Ask The Person Below You A Question: that tricky third thread...

Liquorice all sorts.

Do you prefer the company of men or women?

I prefer men because they tend to be less judgemental of the choices I made (childfree career oriented).

Have you ever been on a cruise?

I was on a Nile cruise once but hated the cliquey atmosphere that tends to develop among Brits.

Agree with cruise comment. We hang out with Canadians, Aussies and Americans. Yes, been on many cruises

Have you ever started a thread on gransnet ?

I think I have but it's lost in the midst of time.

Do you like barbecues?

I can tolerate them, but to “like” them would be an exaggeration

Are you a lark or an owl? (I’m an owl)

Extreme owl here, I rarely go to bed when its still dark.

Do you use full fat, semi skimmed or skimmed milk?

I think I'm a little bit owlish. I stay up late, don't get up till 8 am.

Do you have posh manicures and lovely nails, false or otherwise?

Sorry. crossed post.

Skimmed milk every time. Full cream makes me feel sick.

Posh manicures? False nails?

Neither of those - dont bother at my age. Just go au natural. Did flirt with false nails when I was younger but they didnt have the range back then that they have now.

Whats your favorite sandwich fillings? I like banana, tuna, and cheese and tomato (not all together).

Oh there’s something yum about a banana sandwich but I like egg and tomato best.

Have you ever waited in all day for a delivery that never arises? We suffered ‘We sent you something for your WA!’ Don’t go out!’ on a lovely sunny day. It arrived a day late, just as I set off for work.

Can’t remember a delivery, but workmen not arriving. Frustrating.

Have you ever worn real fur?

No, never . Nor fake fur.

Why do I have to praise the delivery man every time anything is delivered? Do some of you get the endless messages asking for star ratings of the delivery etc.?

Yes I get asked for them by my American shipper to post on Trust Pilot. I already did it and Im not going to rate them for every single parcel.

Have you ever had a blister on your foot from shoes that were too tight or didnt fit properly?

Fortunately, no…

How often do you give your front door a clean and polish?

Very occasionally

How often do you dust/clean your outside windowsills?

Very often. We live near the sea so they are constantly coated with salt.

Do you have a garden pond or some such?

No

Would you have liked a bigger house?

Nope! 4 loos is quite enough for me .

Do you have trees in your garden?

I have 9 crepe myrtle or different colours, 4 palm trees and 7 frangipani trees.

If you could move to any country in the world where would you go?

Canada

What would your ideal day look like?

Today. Clear blue sky. Total sunshine. 25 degrees. Very gentle and refreshing breeze.

What's your attitude to mask wearing?

I don't mind too much and will still wear one on public transport and shops, dentists, hospitals, etc.

Do you often enter competitions? Ever been lucky?

I do and I have won books and gin on GN

Did you ever read ‘Fifty Shades’ and what did you think of it?

Yes-not impressed. One sister reread it to see if she’d missed something- then decided she hadn’t.

No, never fancied it.

Have you ever been taken to hospital by ambulance as an emergency case?
