Introduce yourself

He's a car enthusiast as well, Flickety. Writes regular articles for the Mail on Sunday.

Are you thinking of James May, Flickety?

I have just been looking at Granny Net it does state its purpose as being for Grannies who are looking after their grandchildren and when I went in to it it really was entirely child orientated. As a medium distance Grandma (200 miles) who does not do much childcare I found that rather limiting.

Gransnet is for women (or men) who happen to be grandparents among all the other things they are in their lives - and from the sound of it there are an awful lot of other things in our lives.

I thought James Martin wrote about cars, or are there two of them?

when they dont want us there it will cramp their style

Sorry. I've never heard of the man! If he does cakes! I don't want to!
I'm to bed

He is the guy who's photograph is on the opening page of Gransnet at the moment.
But I understand your question. Looking at the picture, you would not know it is all about food; food is the last thing that springs to mind.

I think you'll find I have been booked to attend to James on Thursday glass. I'm just waiting for my confirmation email from Geraldine

jeni you just go and wash your mouth out who is James Martin............... he is the best celebrity chef around and gorgeous to boot, a bit like the boy next door. I have offered on the web chat thread for Thursday to go and help in the office when James comes in but they have not come back to me!

He's the hunky chef who has a Saturday morning cooking progamme on BBC1 jeni. Makes the most amazing cakes and pastries.

Please folks. Who's James Martin?

Welcome kate

Hi kate I bet they didnt warn you about us lot when they offered you the position

Isn't that treason?

What! You mean you have actually looked at other forums! Hussy!

Hello, Kate. This lot will keep you on your toes. Not me, of course...

Gally Really! Additional not extra. You make Kate sound as if she is superfluous to requirements. Hi Kate.

Hello Kate. Have you replaced someone or are you extra?

Hi KateGransnet nice to meet you

I had a feeling GNHQ numbers would start increasing as soon as we learned James Martin is going to visit!

I bet they haven't got a bar that's open 24/7

I looked at Grannynet, too. To be honest, I thought it seemed like a really supportive, friendly group, but I couldn't really find threads with titles that pulled me in. It could be that I'm just used to Gransnet and its quirky ways! I bet there is a good number of people of who are members of, and contribute to both, though!

I confess, I looked at Grannynet the other day too. .For some strange reason, it made me feel that Grans are OLD and Gransnet never makes me feel like that

(Sorry for the two 'And's )

And I do hate the term 'newbie' - so twee! And it must be an Americanism.

merlot its far too organised for me too, even the threads seem neat and tidy if you see what I mean
