Gransnet. Should I Be On It?

Beckett

Totally agree

CityA.M did a poll pre the referendum with Gransnet members. 52% intended to vote leave. 38% intended to vote remain. The others didn't know.

And finally

If I had been ‘loudly declaring’ I WOULD HAVE WRITTEN IT IN CAPITALS!!!

?

By that I mean Chaffinch would have!

There is no way you can equate sex with Brexit. How do they think up this junk?

Me thinks you have misread or misunderstood me GG. I am suggesting Leavers May be more inclined to go for the unknown & taking chances.

I didn't misunderstand Bridgeit, I disagreed.

Well, one poster took it seriously alright and delivered a lecture on it.
In any case this thread is not about Brexit.
Some people don’t recognise a light hearted thread and lay a leaden hand on it.

The OP chose two contentious examples out three - should have stuck to scarves and Waitrose.

Apologies if we have ruined your lighthearted thread.

It can only ever have appeared to be light-hearted to those who agree with the OP Bridgeit I can see the flutterings of the agreement now. That, apparently, is exactly what she wanted, agreement with her views which she set out from the beginning to be contentious.

Very, very few found it contentious suzie

The point I was trying to make lemon was that some people feel very strongly about the topics chosen and so it wasn’t surprising that some didn’t see it as half hearted. I’ve fallen foul of thinking I was being funny/ lighthearted only for it to fail miserably. ? <remembers MM breathing thread >

I voted to leave the EU and would vote the same again.

I feel sorry for Boris

I like the Queen

I’m frightened of dogs

I approve of Grammar schools.

Oh I remembered that MM breathing thread suziewoozie it made me giggle and I ‘got it’ early on and joined in!
?

Well it would be a boring life if we all thought and dressed the same. There is a great big life out there and everyone is different.
I voted remain and wouldn't have it any other way.

I shop in Waitrose and Lidl because they are the nearest shops. Would love to shop at a greengrocers but we don't have one.

Don't mind some of the royal family.

Would love a dog but my lifestyle doesn't suit one and I wear a scarf when its cold.

Love my children and gc but they are not my life.

While I have been on GN I have been longing, no I could kill, for a piece of chocolate and Mr B has just come up trumps with some from his secret stash. So I need to go.

Republican
Remain
Independance minded
scared of dogs

Very much out of step with a lot of Grans on here ,its interesting to see different/strange opinions though.
I haven't come across many I could be friends with in real lifesome seem to belong in a different world/century .Hang around and see for yourself .

Well, dear chaffinch, I did try to warn you but forgot to add that there are also one or two who persist in preferring always to bring in contention where everyone else can see lightheartedness.

I swear if Mother Teresa had posted here, someone would have shot to poor woman down in flames.....

Feel sorry for them, and just keep posting - it's the only way.

Never a truer word BradfordLass!

Mother Theresa - I’m afraid Bradford if you think she’s a non- contentious figure, you’ve definitely got another think coming. You see that’s the problem in a nutshell isn’t it - is there such a thing as a topic that is non-contentious? And if you’re so keen on the peace and harmony bit, why the comment about ‘feeling sorry for them’ ?Not very nice comment really - a bit passive aggressive in my book. It’s a public forum - come or go, post or don’t , the world will still turn. Just stay in the guidelines

Delighted to see a few people here who don't like dogs. Apparently there are more dogs than people in this country. Why? I don't get it.... they slobber over everything, sniff each other's rear ends and then people kiss them! No doubt this will open a can of worms but sorry I just don't want them anywhere near me. DH feels the same.

It won't let me read it suzie but I'm pretty sure I know what it says. Catholicism = no birth control = overpopulation = starving children.

Ha, love it Chaffinch!
From a dog loving Waitrose shopper who hates cats, voted leave and thinks our Queen is a remarkable woman.

Don’t shop at Waitrose.
Not interested in the Royal family.
Scarves are instruments of torture.
Some dogs are nice , some aren’t.
I voted to remain and I still think we should but that would be undemocratic.
The whole education system needs a massive overhaul. I know nobody has said anything about that but I think it is failing too many children.

I enjoy GN because I learn, I laugh, I agree and disagree.

Yes, there’s plenty of disagreements
