...start posting something. Because you are doing fuck all good nothing to the benefit of Gransnet just sitting there reading this crap. smile

Surely they wouldn't be faux if they were Camilla's. Perhaps they're really real. Don't you have to bite them to see if they squeak on on your teeth or something?

I reckoned she was ditching her old stuff as Charles was supplying the real thing! smile

Rub them against your teeth - real ones fell gritty.

Teeth or pearls?grin Hello & welcome penguin

penguinpaperback Mon 23-Sept-13 22:44:40

Thank you all for the warm welcome. smile

Oh...that's not all of us Penguin I counted 6-7 replies the other 14,993 either couldn't be arsed bothered, were having an early night or wear carousing in some virtual online bar grin

Typo 'were' (goes to prove the point about teachers!)

Aka Gransnet membership was at 15,000 18 months or so ago. It must be much bigger than that now.

Welcome penguin, I am still up.

NfkDumpling Tue 24-Sept-13 09:39:46

Good morning Penguin. Welcome! smile

absent Not necessarily, a lot may have left after all the contentious threads.

Welcome penguin smile

Welcome penguin. I wear pearls most days to work, but wouldn't dream of clutching them!! I'm not prone to the vapours! grin

Aka Tue 24-Sept-13 15:14:49

You provide me with current membership numbers and I'll re-do the maths Absent wink

Aka You have to ask GNHQ but their last report was that it was in excess of 15,000 and that was some time ago. smile

Ana Tue 24-Sept-13 20:31:53

I wonder how many 'active' members there actually are...? hmm
(And I don't mean just on the forum)

Aka Tue 24-Sept-13 22:46:03

I reckon 42

Ana Tue 24-Sept-13 23:05:15

That many...? hmm

Anne58 Tue 24-Sept-13 23:17:33

Am I in the "Silent Majority", or just the moronic one?

Ana Tue 24-Sept-13 23:27:14

No to both, phoenix! grin

Anne58 Tue 24-Sept-13 23:32:32

Just checking, you know how it is!

(The second bit was related to the fact that I only seem to start daft posts, nothing deep or erudite)

PS But I can be, given enough coffee and a following wind.

PPS And of course sufficient notice of the actual need to be erudite.
