We have a good idea of what we think it is - a networking site providing support, entertainment and information. But it would be really interesting and useful for us to know what the site represents to you, the ones who use it every day.

Oh god, cryptic posts and manufactured mysteries..... please tell me it's not true.

DaphneBroon Fri 28-Oct-16 20:16:09

I have never been to the Edinburgh meet up.
Confused? Or just confused and bewildered?

Good point, glass.

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 20:21:52

Yes, I'm with glass too. CBA with the rest of this thread.

Whoever you are you are rather good at personal remarks.

Jalima Fri 28-Oct-16 20:31:23

One clue. Ana, Merlot and Pomps, you guys are great

I have a small hunch. oh tell, please, merlot

Wish they would correct my spelling errors, suppose it would take too long ab, but you are our Olympic gold medallist grin, lap of honour please

I have never had a post edited, although sometimes I wish they would!

What does GN mean to me - at the moment I am confused

Hijacked thread?

Wobblybits Fri 28-Oct-16 20:32:58

Hmm, I'm still taking the remarks as clues.

Jalima Fri 28-Oct-16 20:33:27

X posts, mine took too long and as usual the thread has moved on.

Time to go

Stilltellingthetruth Fri 28-Oct-16 20:34:09

Agreed grin. I don't care actually, but what I do care about is the notion that Grans are old judgemental people.

Most of us are not. We have little babies and we come across this site, where we are ignored, trolled etc.

People who have been here for ages are driving new grans away, we don't have anywhere else to go on the net.

Stilltellingthetruth Fri 28-Oct-16 20:35:19

Pompa... goldfish.. no.

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 20:37:24

Why would anyone who has little babies want to join Gransnet? Wouldn't Mumsnet be more appropriate? confused

Anya Fri 28-Oct-16 20:41:59

Just come to this thread and was startled to see I'm named as a good guy too confused or did you mean Ana?

Whoever you are you've posted some very interesting observations!

Stilltellingthetruth Fri 28-Oct-16 20:43:21

Ana! You are not stupid so stop acting it. I mean new grandmothers, and well you know it.. you pedandic old pedant grin.

merlotgran Fri 28-Oct-16 20:43:46

I don't think this is quite what Lara had in mind when she started this thread grin

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 20:46:26

grin

glassortwo Fri 28-Oct-16 20:47:49

grin

Stilltellingthetruth Fri 28-Oct-16 20:48:24

Anya, you came later in the dialogue so I am sorry I mixed you up with Ana.I expected to be banned again. I have always enjoyed your contributions x.

Jalima Fri 28-Oct-16 20:49:20

You are certainly trying hard enough, is this a sort of Internet "chicken? " [chicken]

Ana Fri 28-Oct-16 20:51:12

But you'd already said I was one of the 'good guys' Stilletc..

Are you now retracting that and demoting me to just an old pedant? sad

Jalima Fri 28-Oct-16 20:52:49

Old, Ana is not old surely??

ps are you pedantic Ana?

Stilltellingthetruth Fri 28-Oct-16 20:53:46

No, you are cool Ana. I agree with you most of the time. ..waiting for the BOMB here grin.
