I expect Mrs Griggs at number 73 emptied her teatowel drawer..

I tried and it didn’t recognise me either - presumably because it is a Local thread.
Just wanted to add my tuppenceworth about the infelicitous choice of name. Hope they are not expecting any long term subscriptions!

I had the same problem and reported - tech dept are looking into it.

Yes, a little too close to Dignitas!

Is that Tracey Emin on the cover - surely she's too young!

BlueBelle Thu 28-Feb-19 18:15:06

Ahh I see thanks MawBroon I didn’t think about that

Yes I too wanted to say I thought it was an awful name and my first thought was it was about end if life and anyway I don’t want to go out in dignity I want to go out in my purple knickers and red hat or is it the other way round ???

Its red hat no drawers I believe smile

I have managed to post on it , no idea how confused

BlueBelle Thu 28-Feb-19 18:44:37

I was thinking of the poem ‘When I am old’ but it’s about wearing purple not knickers ??trust me

Well I’ve just successfully posted a test message on that thread and I’m nothing to do with Barnet Local site.

I've just tried to post to the thread on Dignity shudder but it says it's been "moooved". Maybe they didn't like the negative comments about the abysmally depressing name for their new publication and went off in a huff?

MissAdventure Thu 28-Feb-19 20:45:09

Made a dignified exit, I'm sure smile

Mycatisahacker Thu 28-Feb-19 20:59:24

Why? Dignity thread? What’s that even about?

Mycat Dignity is a new magazine for oldies who feel they are being ignored, life is pointless etc since they retired.
On the front is a picture of an old woman who looks anything but dignified, showing a lot of thigh, too much make up and wrapped in a fur stole.
You get the picture?
And on the front is a big advert for Gransnet!!

How odd. I’ve just looked and it’s still there confused

janiensworth.

Oh I like the description of that! Purple and spit and all that! grin

Chewbacca Thu 28-Feb-19 21:39:26

It is that janeainsworth but it won't let some of us put a post on it. When you hit send, a message comes up to say that it's "mooooved" confused

I also found the title very off-putting because it was so close to Dignitas.
