Penny for your thoughts...

We're thinking a strapline/sub-heading thingy might be a nice thing to have. Mumsnet has "By parents for parents" but what would work best for Gransnet?

We've canvassed the good folk at GNHQ/MNHQ who had two clear favourites from a longer list. What we'd love to know is whether you prefer one or t'other - or whether you have any other thoughts about what would work. The two in question are

Older, wiser but definitely not quieter

A bit older, a lot wiser

Thanking you grin

Just thought it could be read either as an invitation to share our knowledge, or a nod to the idea that our views are not always valued.

allule, do you mean ambiguous to the world at large or ambiguous to GNHQ?

allule Fri 11-Aug-17 11:02:33

How about 'What do we know?'
Nicely ambiguous

Notme Fri 04-Aug-17 22:44:10

That'll do. grin

Still breathing but wheezing might be nearer to the truth grin

I think you need to keep it short, with no frilly bits. And no claims leading to, sometimes, false expectations. Humour is essential.

"Gransnet. Still breathing". does it for me.

But what do I know?

I like 'older, wiser, who are we kidding!

rosesarered Thu 03-Aug-17 13:49:06

Haha...is that 'alive and kicking' kitty or 'just alive and kicking' ?

kittylester Thu 03-Aug-17 13:41:34

So there is Alima though I've not seen her around for a while - what about just Alive and kicking.

Blinko Thu 03-Aug-17 09:33:12

As for the logo, what about something along the lines of Caroline Aherne's Mrs Merton. Acid and wit in a smart combination.

Alima Thu 03-Aug-17 09:07:15

Yes, but there is a Gnetter with that very moniker. Copyright?

rosesarered Thu 03-Aug-17 09:04:13

Yes, Kitty.... t'was I, and thanks for liking it.smile

kittylester Thu 03-Aug-17 08:07:25

I've just reread this and 'still alive and kicking' stands out for me - sorry I've forgotten who it was. roses?

I don't know anything about rock and roll except that it is, or was, apparently, a thing.

A warm welcome from the third generation


The third generation bids you a warm welcome

Riverwalk what great idea, the logo looks very Russian, not that there's anything wrong with that but I don't think it says who we are.

As for new strapline, I prefer MOnica's

NudeJude Thu 03-Aug-17 04:02:27

For me 'caring and sharing' springs to mind, as that's what I've found Gransnet to be.

TheMaggiejane1 Wed 02-Aug-17 22:05:35

Stylish and sassy not frumpy and grumpy!

HurdyGurdy Wed 02-Aug-17 21:49:21

Between us, we've seen and done just about everything

Menopaws Wed 02-Aug-17 21:34:12

United by life. No I don't like logo either

Katek Wed 02-Aug-17 20:49:36

Gransnet - we've got the t shirts!!

Jalima1108 Wed 02-Aug-17 20:44:46

ffinochio I knew it reminded me of something but I couldn't think what!!

MamaCaz Wed 02-Aug-17 20:29:02

I like 1974cookie's suggestion, though would shorten it even further to simply "been there, done that". grin

Katek Wed 02-Aug-17 19:21:04

Gransnet.....we've still got it!

Eglantine19 Wed 02-Aug-17 19:17:42

Yay Blinko. Knew someone could finish it off for me! wine
