NOW CLOSED: The Great Gransnet Census

Happy to see some familiar names here again. Well done to winners.

missed out the ? off the first line there.

Caffeine not kicked in yet.

Hello Kat. You the new one.

You need an i/ie.

Cari back yet?

What about a virtual world cruise?

far too long you can get paid for doing census on line!

I bought goods from the market for practical classes, getting receipts on odd bits of paper and paper bags!

Only at Avery Hill site gramps so I don't think we'd have met. (of course we might have passed "daan Woolich"!

Anno I've not noticed anyone who reminded me of Jings.

I worked at Woolwich Poly, later becoming Thames Poly, before changing again to Greenwich University.
We had a Lab at the Oakfield Lane site for a few months before it was closed.We took it over from the original occupants for Biologigal Sciences.

Have we had any new names recently? A bit of detective work may be called for.

She'll be lurking around somewhere! Aren't you jing

anno When I read your post I remembered that JO4 was one of those who watched and enjoyed a concert on webcam that I posted about in February, and tried a pm to tell her of the latest one. It was not accepted "JO4 is not a valid nickname". I think she must have checked out again.

good job she's deceased then!

She wouldn't have liked it when it became part of Thames Polytechnic and sunsequently merely a part of Greenwich University then! Apologies for losing the plot thread!

Well SHE thought she was superior. She was a right snob!

Thanks for that jeni I felt very old this morning, but wasn't born until after hostilities had stopped. I was teaching there much, much later and not in it's glory days! AH still had it's staff room adjoining the tropical "Winter Garden" though, which is open to the public!

Something tells me we haven't heard from JO4 recently, or am I wrong?

It was during the last world war. We're you teaching then?

If your mother trained at Avery Hill she must be most superior jeni ( only saying that because I taught there

Who started this rumour about a world cruise?
Could it have been GNHQ to get more of us to complete the census....?

What world cruise? Where? When?

Please note folks I'm jeni not jenni. I was born during rationing and only got one n. I didn't get an e in Ann either
Mind you, it could have been that my infant teacher mother (trained at avery hill) was dyslexic?
But I don't think so!

re JO4: Annual Income. Look at your P60?

re jenni: Crescent Moon. I don't know what you use one for but now I want one too. Oh wait, MaggieP has one ...


re Frankel: Gender. It does ask, but only allows the two most common choices.

re Granny23: Attitude at 51. I don't think mine was relevant to me now. At 60 my attitude was work until I drop because I don't have enough pension to survive. At 64 it's get out before the stress kills me. Anything else is subsidiary.

re (GCHQ) oops sorry (GNHQ): uh uh, it's the feds. If I were to win the first prize I expect I would be able to find someone in the tribe who could use it. The second prize is products from a company I haven't heard of. I could certainly make good use of chocolates and other goodies!

re PatriciaC: "Complacent and very middle class". I guess I'll be expelled pretty soon then!

If there really are many thousands of us, how are we all going to fit on the world cruise? Are HQ building a very big boat?
