phoenix is right, perhaps you need to explore the site a bit more Realgrandad and get a feel for the huge range of topics discussed.

As a Realgrandad you may not wear perfume (my DH wouldn't dream of such a thing!) but I know a lot of younger men do and there are lots of fragrances for men, so they could be interested in that thread grin.
In fact I was sold a 'fragrance for men' in an airport duty-free - it wasn't clear from the label and the assistant assured me it was a woman's fragrance (lost in translation). However, when I gave it to DD she laughed and we then gave it to her partner. He loved it.

Jolly good topic - should more boys be doing 'domestic science' (home economics?) in school?
Not sure about ignoring our historical past though

Go on, start a couple of threads!

If you are new, welcome!

There are LOADS of topics discussed on GN, if you look down the "Forums" list you will see politics, education, science etc, as well as home, style & beauty and chat.

Read a few, (not just in the "active" section) and I think you will find some pretty in depth, even heated threads!

I wonder how many Granddads on gransnet responded to the questions on the page home this morning, such as "What perfume do you wear?".

Lets get away from such gender issues and concentrate the questions of the day on real issues facing our quality of life and those of our extended families.

I would have preferred to have seen a few question about our Grandchildrens eduction, such as the teachings of recent history from the 1900's to today., rather than say "the War of the Roses and Henry V111 etc".

Why so little domestic science or the need for good manners, respect for others, perhaps we can even persuade teacher to set more good example and standard by wearing smart clothing rather than dressing down?

I am sure there are a range of great wide subjects rather than perfume and makeup that grans and granddads would love to air. Lets have your own
view!
