Penny for your thoughts...

Gemini, I'm not a grandparent. Should I bow out?

The Leaders of the Pack (vroom! vroom!)

Don't Call Us Seniors; We're Greying Tigers (this one adapted from David Sedaris)

Not Dead Yet (okay, I'll get my coat).

Just realised what rosesarered's suggestion reminded me of and I haven't seen her post on here for a while. Is that why there's a grin?

Conversely we could have "not dead yet"

Gransnet people :The perfect Vintage !

I'm with Baggs. Don't see the need but, if there has to be one, why not along the same lines as Mumsnet's.....?
> "By grandparents, for grandparents "....
Does what it says on the tin.

How about 'mature wit and wonder'

How about ...
All ages welcome
A place to chat and share ideas
Everyone is valued and supported here
Come and join in the banter

Still crazy after all these years?

Don't like 'witty, wise and warm' either as you only have to look at certain threads to know that doesn't apply to some GNers

Do like something along the lines of 'warm welcome to the world' even if that sounds as though it might be seen in a maternity delivery room We do have members around the world though ...

I like Mamacaz idea

I started thinking about the Jimi Hendrix album "Are You Experienced?" But that is of course my generation.

If Jimi had lived he'd be a Granddad by now - or even Great-Granddad.

Sorry if I offended you Ggmk2!

I'm 68 - sort of middle aged in grans terms, I imagine.

I am not keen on 'another bite of life'.

I am sorry you didn't like it kitty - I'm afraid it was the best I could offer. You sound like a very young Gran so I am sure you will be able to come up with something we all like.

A wealth of wit and wisdom

Like that roses!

What about 'still alive and kicking! '

I like both those but we are more than that. We are supportive too.

I know, 'Absolutely Brilliant in Every Way!' - cos we are!!

Strident and sassy?

Sagacious but saucy.

I don;t like ' wiser' , but I think there is a place for 'wisdom' - not claiming to be 'better than', but stating a fact that we have a lot to offer

And yes, witty, wry ...

If we include something along the lines of 'lively' I think it seems like we are protesting too much (spritely then comes into mind and that isn't helpful!)

'Wit' covers cleverness and sharpness of mind too so I like that!

I'm still chewing the first bite!!!

I am not keen on 'another bite of life'. I am still chewing the bite.

We are not different from the rest of the world just because we've been here longer.

I felt very patronised yesterday by a representative of WEA who asked me if I'd like to learn to use a smart phone but didn't ask the 40 year old next to me! We need to get away from the idea that we are a different 'race' from younger people.

1. We are not all of one generation.
2. Grans are not all pensioners with perms.
3. Even if they are pensioners they have not all descended to the female equivalent (or male) of the pipe and slippers stage.
4. The wisdom thing. If you were wise when you were young you are probably wise now. If not, probably not. It's arrogant to think it is an age thing.
5. Whatever it is could it be positive please.

A site for sore eyes/knees/hips et al !!

Is it trendy to have a strapline or something? I don't see the need and I do see the difficulty of trying to sum up something so complex and all-(well almost all)-embracing in a few words. The idea seems a bit trite to me.

Having said that, the Mumsnet one is okay.
