All the drivel about privacy and they do an interview with Oprah. I feel ashamed for Harry that he feels the need to air his dirty linen in public. What do they get from this? I have no idea. Prince Philip is in hospital and I just feel like saying shame on you both.

The Secret Society of Senior Grans... like a GN Illuminati, covertly pulling the strings of 'lesser' posters whilst they calculate their bid for world domination, muahahahaha...

This place just gets better and better! grin

I'm following this thread with interest, not because of Meghan and Harry, (couldn't care less), but because I'm dying to know who these Senior Grans with superpowers are. wink

Is there a secret handshake? And do I have to roll my jama leg up? How do I know if I'm a member? confused

Perhaps you need to be in an inclusive Whatsapp group. That way you can rally the troops at the click of a message. I'm finding this speculation quite intriguing.

LauraNorder Fri 05-Mar-21 20:44:00

What happens if you wear a nightie? No jams leg to roll up

LauraNorder Fri 05-Mar-21 20:45:09

I do wear jamas by the way so don’t rule me out yet.

NellG Fri 05-Mar-21 20:53:28

Machiavellian Nanas, wearing a knot in their nighties, or even their knickers in a twist...

trisher don't worry, they'll call you. You'll be coshed, a hood put over your head and bundled into the back of a van, where you'll be taken to HQ and forced to undertake an initiation ceremony probably involving being doused in Ovaltine and proving your ability to knit a sock - ruining the turning of the heel will get you black balled forever!

Possibly. But these obsessive RF threads are drivel, so they cancel each other out.

LauraNorder Fri 05-Mar-21 20:56:50

Sock knitting heh. Well that’s me out.

GagaJo Fri 05-Mar-21 20:59:54

SG's need to be careful. They could end up banned. ?

trisher Fri 05-Mar-21 21:01:03

Ooh Ovaltine I thought-will there be biscuits? Then I read the sock bit so no secret society for me.

NellG Fri 05-Mar-21 21:01:30

You could be an associate member LauraNorder but only if you can prove your worth by showing your skills in combat armed with just a crochet hook and a free bus pass.

You may have to donate your winter fuel allowance to the society funds though.

It's so secret even the members don't know who they are grin

I like the Illuminati idea though NellG are there secret passages etc to GN HQ. Oooh its so exciting !!!

Grannybags Fri 05-Mar-21 21:05:45

I love these threads! grin

Can I be a member please even though I have yet to be vaccinated?
Not long to wait.

NellG Fri 05-Mar-21 21:09:57

Ssshssh Sodapop walls have ears... or threads do... we could be shot for revealing their existence!

Hetty58 Fri 05-Mar-21 21:10:44

It's just too weird!

I can't understand the obsession/s with them, really I can't. Why waste energy being 'angry' with people when you don't even know them, they don't know you - and they have no influence on or relevance to your life?

NellG Fri 05-Mar-21 21:13:09

Sorry Ellianne but we are not worthy, you'll have to stay here with the plebeian nanas, who are OBSESSED with H&M.

LauraNorder

No you’re not bossy enough Kittylester. Can’t be you.

How do I know if I'm a member? confused
100 posts and you qualify, trisher
I reckon you're in.

But, as LauraNorder said, what happens if you wear a nightie?
Perhaps roll your knitted bed socks down?

ShelaghALLEN Fri 05-Mar-21 21:26:08

SecondhandRose: The interview with Oprah was done before Prince Phillip went to hospital. I also don't think that the Sussex have no control over when the interview will air. Finally, keeping everything hidden will not help the Sussex as they are already demonized by the British press.

Yet to be vaccinated?
Just how old are you?

Definitely not yet, you'll have to get in the queue Ellianne.

Smileless2012 Fri 05-Mar-21 21:32:00

What happens if you don't wear anything for bed? Just asking, not for myself you understand.

Callistemon Fri 05-Mar-21 21:35:07

Um, could you knit some bed socks in the next half hour?

Smileless2012 Fri 05-Mar-21 21:37:42

No I can't knit but I could borrow a pair of Mr. S.'s. Ooops I've just given myself away haven't Iblush.
