Is anyone normal?

Yes, it's perfectly normal to make mistakes. Anyone who says they don't make mistakes is not normal.

It's certainly normal to admit one's mistakes, as Anya did. Not everyone does, of course.

Does being normal mean making a mistake when reading percentages, Anya?

Me too!

I am normal.

I always think of myself as normal and run-of-the-mill, but friends and family always hoot with laughter when I suggest this or when I cannot work out why so few people react to things the way I do.

Oh err....yes, that's right Flickety never at my most alert at 5.54 am

I'm not normal. Don't want to be. I did my 'trying to be normal' bit when I was younger. Now I've decided to be me with all my abnormalities. Much better than fighting to be something you're not.

I voted green, despite being born in Bromley.

I think, if you really want a local site, you are the one who has to get it going. However, I joined this site to have online communication with intelligent people at a time that suits me (while having a coffee or tea break), not necessarily for meet-ups, although if they happen, then of course that is lovely. I did meet up with a lovely lady a couple of years ago, but I was still doing school runs and working part-time and found I really struggled to make time. I rarely look at the local pages. I suspect most of us don't.

Anya No. 47% of those over 65 voting for the Tories mean 53% of those over 65 did not vote for them, not that 53% of the Tory vote was accounted for by those under 65.

The 47% refers to the elderly not to the total of conservative voters

Sigh.

So that leaves 53% of the under 65s who voted Conservatives? Remind me again, what does majority mean?

An article in the paper today said that the real reason Labour lost the election was because over-65s refused to vote for them.
Only 23% by Ipsos-Mori poll, whereas Tories were supported by 47% of over-65s.
Not that polls are believable any more.

I'm normal for me
Don't know about the rest of you!

soutra!

Normal is people like me, abnormal is people not like me.

'all the oldies are married upper class Conservatives', well, nationwide that is very large group and absolutely normal then. There is another group 'all the oldies are married lower class Labourites' Are they 'normal' or 'not normal'. Are either of those dismissive definition of people acceptable?

Not to me they aren't.

Since which time it's gone up down in the world !!

I don't think there's any such thing as normal.

And I certainly don't think Bromley is upper class!

(although of course it was over 50 years ago, when I was born there )

depends on who your asking ..to me I am normal....ask my family/friends you may get an entirely different reply...

Could Geminites please come back and clarify ?

That makes at least three of us

No you are not Graces, cos I am too!!

I don't understand the OP but to answer the question in the header - Yes, I am normal, but I may be the only one

I am not normal either Teetime
Who is though?

An educated guess as Anya says. It only takes a few minutes.
When I came onto the site I percieved it to be huge.
Yes it might be in registered users and lurkers, but as regards the amount of regular users, no way.

I am not normal.

Does it? Thought it was an educated guess, but I doubt it is as many as 100.
