How Long Have You Been On Gransnet?

I started at the beginning - a very good place to start .

It would be interesting to know if there is a mix of ethnicities on here. Do we have any Muslim grans? Sikhs? Ba'hai? (whatever...)

Lack of diversity - I've said it'sz a pity there aren't more Grandads on GN. They always help to get a more balanced view.
I think there used to be more - I hope we haven't frightened them off!

ps perhaps the name needs to be changed.

I can't see that happening - by now it is a brand name, with all kinds of legal stuff. It would take a fortune to change everything, and then it would all have to start from scratch with publicity, marketing, branding etc etc, like a new "product"

Since 2011, to answer the question.
I have seen many incarnations of some members for whatever reason , not necessarily devious, and have sometimes had to adjust my "mental picture"
Elegran remains "elegant", I confuse my absents and activists, glamma makes me think ofMolly Weir in her heyday (or Joanna Lumley) marmight makes me wonder "just what she might do", I remember ethel etc when she was prickly, and am not able to type rosesarered without having that dreadful song in my head for the rest of the day!
It has sometimes taken a wee while to spot a new incarnation and sometimes it is all too obvious, but that really doesn't matter, you are who you are on GN !
At meet ups it has been odd , difficult even, to use "real" names.

Heydaphne i can assure you im just as prickly as ever, today ive been accused of anti social behaviour so i guess im just the same as ever

About my comment 're lack of diversity, it's not an accusation. It's an observation.

The term "non-white" - what does that even mean!?
