Welcome to the *Gransnet Café. This is a non-judgemental space for you to pop in for a cuppa with some virtual friends, seek out advice for a particular problem, or share an update on your life - important or trivial. Feel free to have your say and chat about your day, but please leave any arguments at the door. If you're struggling to find someone to talk to in real life, or are simply looking for a bit of a chat, this is the place for you.

Welcome to this forum, ShihTzuDad from another Devonian. I'm in Torbay - I wonder where you are?

Welcome! I have four grandchildren by my twin daughters (two each) - three boys and a,girl - ranging in age from 7 to 17. They are hard work at times, but are great fun and a pleasure to be with. We live close together in a suburb of London, so there is lots of mutual support.

Welcome, it's good to have another man. Please contribute often - you might encourage others.

Hey I’m something of a newbie myself, did a bit of surfing the different forums and seeing how things work before posting. Am not a man but is good to have some variety.
Let’s hope more men see this and decide to take the plunge.

Hello everybody. Just signed up and, seemingly rarely, I am male. A quick scout around seems to suggest that us males make up no more than 5-10% of the local population here.

Nevertheless, a big hello from (sunny, today) Devon and Happy New Year to all and sundry. 😊
