Good morning friday

Bring on the cliques. Rediculous aint it. I had same with three diff churches searching for solace when I needed some friendship.

Yes I love footie Stevie. Didn’t see any today but watching this evening . Brilliant match Spain v Portugal !

And they say there are no cliques on Gransnet

Not interested in football. Done some cleaning then went to shops

U watching football?

Maw Marydoll ??

You watching the footie stevie or are you not interested ?

I couldn’t care less who starts a thread . What does it matter ? Imagine a real life cafe “we can’t serve you until joe bloggs has been in “ very strange .

Exactly Gilly
As I said in prev post. Good job this ain't a real cafe!!
And loneliness takes many forms and when someone might find that bit if light and an opening others want to shut it off.

Really ? What does it matter who starts the thread ? I thought this was supposed to be a Gransnet Cafe /Jo Cox loneliness thread ?

As I said before in prev post

Maw?

I don’t quite see the problem with waiting until Mick kicks off the thread around 6.30 do you?
By all means wish people a Good Morning if you wish, but it might be considerate to avoid confusion with the regular “Good Morning —-day “” one wouldn’t it?

I am not to step o anyone's toes but i I I pop on and then off again and not appear again for a few hours then i t would seem I haven't said hello.
And I suppose you don't have to join the specific thread to comment. And mick you can and as you said have done started one each morning.
But what is there to stop someone else saying good morning first if here isn't a thread there I firs place. This morning the first good morning thread was 5 the down the list.
And I didn't have time energy etc toook through each good morning Friday to see if one had been started.
And so this morning we had two threads doing same thing.

I am with all of you who wait for kick off from Mick. It's how it has always been done and I sincerely hope it continues. I did try to explain it in a very non confrontational way to you Stevie via a PM I never heard back from you so I would imagine you haven't opened the PM yet.

I too like to wait for Mick.
Despite being up very early most mornings, I would never dream of starting the thread.
It sort of starts my day off.. I'm a creature of habit. ?
For some silly reason, I worry if he doesn't appear, apart from when we know he is on one of his coach tours.
Not really seen you posting much, Stevie, so I can only assume you are new. Welcome! ?

I think the “café” has added an element of confusion or perhaps I just get easily
For any who have joined in the last year or so, the “Café” is a relatively new invention and certain threads found themselves there quite at random.
I’m not knocking it per se but for instance Soops Kichen has existed quite happily and very effectively without rebranding as have other threads such as Mick’s “Good Morning —-day” threads.
If a new thread is started I do think it wise not to use an existing thread title ( e.g. how many kitchens could Soop have? ) or we risk missing things because they are on the duplicate thread.
I hope that makes some sense Stevie and a very belated “Welcome” to GN

As I said, kitty, I didn’t mean mick ?. Sorry for the confusion. Perhaps another title would be a good idea, stevie, then we won’t miss anything, as maw suggests. Welcome to the forum, by the way. ?

Hi stevie, I think lots of people who post on the Good Morning thread wait until Mick has posted - it just seems 'right' iyswim.

Two threads with the same title mean we might miss the posts of others that we generally look out for. And, being nosy, we might miss vital information like new babies, sad news or even if my cat eventually gives birth rather than following DH around miaowing plaintively!!!!

It might avoid confusion Stevie.

So in the cafe does this mean we have to wait to say hello to others in here?
Or if another thread starts does it have be a different title?

And I for one am happy for things to remain like that Mick

Being the originator of the good morning thread , which I first did when I joined Gransnet a few years ago, the only time I do not do it is when I am away.
History wise I started to do originally on the former Saga Zone , and also I started also on Silversurfers as well, plus another age related site for over 50`s
Mick

I apologise if I misunderstood. It's not Mick's fault if he is part of our morning routines.

No they didn’t and I don’t think that is what was meant at all so apologies if I made it seem so

Did anyone mention Mick wanting to be first, mapleleaf?

I know you didnt just wanted to make it clear.
Apologies!
