I can picture you now...?

lemongrove haha! Nope!

Yes, there was Jane but I can’t remember now what anyone looked like.

Mamissimo you’re not Mrs May are you?

There was a thread a few years ago where we all posted our pictures...

I had imagined you as an Italian, who loves his mama. I liked oldbatty’s description though it made me grin. It is odd how we get a mental picture of somone from their voices or their post. We gransnetters do give clues from time to time on some our posts. I have seen the odd photograph and some post about where we were born, where we live now and what we did in our misspent youth. In someways in nice to stay anonymous though.

oldbatty you are too kind! ? in my youth I might have aspired to your picture but I’m 5’7, size 16, grey haired and my face has contours! I love shopping and cashmere...but never full price...and I’m so bad at sport that I was always the last one picked!

Maybe GN works because we can’t see each other? ....or is it the case that by forming our impression by posts we see the “real” GNetter in its essence? Maybe our pictures would create false impressions? Not in my case, I hasten to add, I’d still be a middle of road grey haired, slightly wrinkly woman that you might vaguely think you knew from somewhere or other!

I quite like reading and commenting without the clothing clues, or the background indicators. I love GN because we are!

I picture you Manmisso as tallish and slim with a penchant for black cigarette pants and ridiculously expensive cashmere knitwear, which you hunt down in boutique charity shops.
You favour amber and sport 3 large rings and although you don't tell every body about this , you were Captain of the Olympic archery team back in 1967.

That is sooooo disappointing BlueBelle! That's happened to me too.
There are some GNers who I think are on my wavelength but I've never met. I'm lucky that the Edinburgh meet ups seem so popular so I have met a fair few Grans. They've all been great company.

I haven’t been to any meet ups either there were one or two in my area that I couldn’t make then they seemed to fizzle out but I have exchanged emails and photos with one poster and we have become very good virtual friends
It’s funny how you get a mental image of someone from their posts and are probably quite wrong
This reminds me of a gentleman I had to ring through work he had the most beautiful velvety voice and a lovely way of putting things I fell completely in love with him (not really) and then we had to meet on a business level I have never met anyone so unlike his voice I really had imagined him tall dark and handsome, and he really wasn’t

No meetings in this area! - too far out.

I don’t think my clique lives near me....we’re a national bunch!

I’d really like to have a “like” button so that posters knew who was on their wave length??

I've met lots of my 'clique' so don't need to imagine them.

Maybe you could look out for a meet up in your area - where are you?
