I know this is being very disloyal , BUT I crept onto SS this afternoon

.
However, found it very hard to navigate and actually seemed full of adverts.

Has anyone had the same experience, promise I won"t tell G/n HQ

I've just checked it out and I do like the short story being able to be published. It's on my list of things to do in my 50's. smile

I just had to have a look. Not a very active site and nothing on there for me. Gransnet is the only site that I use and I am sticking with it.

Gransnet doesn't describe us as 'Silver' anything. Its the silly euphemism 'silver' when they mean older or mature or retired that gets my goat, not age related sites per se.

Had a quick peek and ended up doing a non-member dating search. I didn't fancy any of the matches found! blush

Nonu Mon 11-Aug-14 17:34:55

How do you cope with GRANSNET then Flick, that is age related surely.
grin

FlicketyB Mon 11-Aug-14 15:33:32

I wouldn't join anything that talks about 'Silver' anything to do with age.

Nonu Mon 11-Aug-14 13:08:02

wink

Yes, I have the message Nonu and have replied. It may not be frowned upon on this forum (I'm still getting to know the site and this is one thing I don't know the rules about) but as I gave a big clue in the post, I may be joining you on that norty step grin

Nonu Mon 11-Aug-14 12:19:55

Hi HOLLY, I have pm"d you.

OOPS NORTY NONU, didn't know it was "Frowned" on.

Hope I don"t get put on the NORTY step.

smile

Nonu Mon 11-Aug-14 11:44:12

Will go and have a look, speak later !

HollyDaze Mon 11-Aug-14 11:29:00

I have sent you a message Nonu - I've only ever replied to messages so this is the first time I've initiated one so I hope I have done it correctly and that you receive it. If not, let me know.

I haven't posted the name on here as, usually, it is a bit 'frowned upon' to advertise another forum but if it's okay, I'm happy to post it on the thread.

Nonu Mon 11-Aug-14 11:24:22

May I ask the name HOLLY?

HollyDaze Mon 11-Aug-14 11:20:59

There are a couple of very good forum for the over 50s (those that aren't grandparents may feel they can't join this forum) and I belonged to one for a couple of years that was very busy - quite a few Australians on that site that were very funny and often made us laugh.

glammanana Mon 11-Aug-14 11:04:32

The name would put me right off so sorry no interest at all.

ninathenana Mon 11-Aug-14 10:59:39

kitty nonu So true grin

Nonu Mon 11-Aug-14 10:57:53

WHO IS? We are a ONE OFF.
Laugh!

kittylester Mon 11-Aug-14 10:27:50

I've just been for a nosey too nina and they don't seem to be quite like us, do they. grin

ninathenana Mon 11-Aug-14 10:05:58

I hadn't heard of it so I've just been for a nosey. The most recent post I could find was 2days ago. Most seemed to be 2wks + Not spontaneous enough for me.
Also I admit I didn't check for mobile format but what I saw wasn't good when viewed on my phone.

rockgran Mon 11-Aug-14 09:33:43

Just had a quick look - they have a quiz! I do love a quiz!

suebailey1 Mon 11-Aug-14 08:23:22

I might have a look later.

PRINTMISS Mon 11-Aug-14 07:38:00

I found it particularly disappointing. As you say an awful lot of adverts, specially for holidays of the expensive kind, but not a lot of information.

Charleygirl Sun 10-Aug-14 22:35:56

There is nothing of interest on it for me. I receive frequent emails from silver sulrfers.

Crow Sun 10-Aug-14 21:40:49

Never heard of it.

Marelli Sun 10-Aug-14 21:40:09

I'd seen the advert for it on Facebook but I didn't like the name. hmm

granjura Sun 10-Aug-14 21:35:29

SS sounds dreadful sad
