Ask a question

Mmmm, Jersey Royals with minted butter.

Do you use your local farm shop. If you have one ?

I don't have one but I know people who use them and like them.

Are there many left handed people in your family? There are four in mine.

Purple...

Helena1 yes I love purple

Was that a question or an answer ?

DD is left handed. I am ambidextrous.

Has this thread run out of steam ?

Being new to this site I just looked at the 'questions' above & am totally baffled. What ARE you all talking about?!?
My question is would somebody please explain what all the abbreviations mean. There are so many & next question (maybe irrelevantly!) where will I find your answers!! Here's hoping...

ninathenana I don't think it's run out of steam, just got a little confused!

Did you watch the meteors tonight? (For once in the North we got a brilliant show - wow!)

I didn't see the meteors here in the W. Country.

Did you see the Hale Bopp Comet some years ago? (I remember it well.)

Welcome Thrillednanny you'll love it here.
Firstly there is a thread explaining all the abbreviations if you search.
Second this thread is a bit of a game. Someone asks a question and the next poster answers and asks their own question. If you go back a few pages when it was going quiet smoothly
it should become clear. See below.

No I don't remember seeing the comet.

Do you like antiques?

Love browsing but don't own any.

Do you/ have you ever belong/ed to a book club?

No, never.

What is currently your favourite TV programme?

The Great British Bake Off

Do you sleep on one pillow or two?

Are there any Gransnetters who served in the forces during the war??
Or are you all too young??
I was a WAAF (RAF) now just a small group of us still meet care to join us? Alice (90) WD19

Iacwhedy I think you might get a better response if you start a new thread to ask about this. This thread is just a game thread, where you are supposed to answer the question in the previous post and then ask a question of your own. It's just for fun, and your more serious question will just get lost in the mists of time.

One

Natural hair colour, or "helped" ?

Natural since I developed psoriasis on my scalp.

Do you wear make-up every day even if you're not going out? (For granddads, read 'do you shave every day etc.. )

Too lazy casual to bother most days

Do you enjoy thunder storms?

Not since I was at DD2's house when the roof was struck!

Do you wear glasses for reading, distance or neither?

Just for distance. But I was told last time that my eyes will deteriorate a lot in the next few years and I will need glasses for reading.
My next optician's appointment is in two weeks time. I have started to notice that I cant read so well in poor light, so we shall see.
Long answer. But oh well.

Agree with Indiana. lacwhedy, your question will make an interesting thread. If you get stuck starting it, we will be happy to instruct you.

Do you have a grandfather clock?

Yes got some fab brightly coloured varifocal glasses made by Ronit Furst. Quite a few of my friends have said nothing about them so they don't like them I suspect, however I am regularly asked by strangers where I got them from. I love them.

What us your biggest disaster in the kitchen?

Sorry Soon we crossed in the ether.

No problem NanKate.

I am not sure about my biggest disaster. I boil vegetables dry and burnt occasionally.

Do you have a grandfather clock?

No, not a grandfather clock but a Vienna wall clock which belonged to my grandparents. It's tick and chime is a sound from my childhood.

On the theme of time...do you wear a watch or rely on your mobile 'phone?

Watch if I'm out, clock or phone when at home

Minimalist or Auntie Wainwright?
