Gransnet. Should I Be On It?

I tried to be one but was told there was already one but have never seen a posting from a Goldfinch.

We need a Goldfinch!

Voted Leave - wavering a bit now though
Love dogs - not so keen on cats
Shop in Lidl and Morrisons
Avid reader of political threads but too chicken to join in
Admire scarves on other people but they look untidy somehow on me. I always take them off after a few minutes.
Love this thread

Nice to have another finch on Gransnet

2 out of 3 here. Not willing to confirm which in case I get pounced on!

Am a bit about socialists never darkening the doors of Waitrose, they are at the pricier end of the supermarkets ( not Harrods though, is it?) In fact they seem
Cheaper now than 20 years ago , when all their products were expensive.
I find the Co-op has similar prices to a local Waitrose.
It must be that socialists have a cannier eye for a bargain, because I can’t think of any other reason.?

ps Tesco is catching up.

It's easy to become intimidated on here, in the news and politics threads anyway. But we need to have varying points of view.
And I hope that at our age we have more life experience to draw on.
I'm still 'on the fence' with Brexit. I'm a leftish Socialist, but I love Waitrose.

Voted Stay - but that was such a long time ago.
Like some dogs more than people.
Never been near Waitrose - the mere idea gives me vapours.
Have never met any of the RF, so don't know what they're like.
Wear DM boots (but no scarves) have tattoos, long purple (at the moment) hair and ride a bike everywhere.

A typical GN gran really

- voted remain
- very anti Monarchy
- cat owner
- 2 drawers of scarves
- Waitrose regular.
Chaffinch your v amusing post and the reaction it has provoked, should demonstrate you are 'gold star' GN material.
Do stay and continue to create and enjoy the fun ...?

^ Once I was wearing one which I thought I had fetchingly draped around my neck, when it disappeared up the vacuum cleaner nozzle.^ (*JackieB*)

That could have been so nasty! Think Isadora Duncan!

Oh for God's sake, it was no sly dig...here...

love scarves, quite like Waitrose

I voted leave and still want that.
I love dogs and all animals in fact but don't go OTT.
I don't shop at Waitrose but use good old Tesco.
I don't like silk scarves.
I do like the Royal family but think there are too many of them on the payroll.
I hate pretentious people (like my SIL) who thinks she's better than others but was born and brought up on a Council Estate

I live 747 km from the nearest Waitrose and wasn't allowed to vote in the referendum. I think the UK would be worse off without the RF, I like dogs but don't love them. I avoid political threads and any other threads when the bitching starts.

I have loads of scarves but still haven't got the hang of wearing them. Once I was wearing one which I thought I had fetchingly draped around my neck, when it disappeared up the vaccuum cleaner nozzle. I have 3 DGC and one in the oven.

There are no rules regarding who can contribute to GN and who can't - you don't even have to be a gran, so please stay, Chaffinch.

I love being in the EU so a big remainer
I can go one better I ve never been in a Waitrose or a John Lewis store I m an Aldi Lidl and Asda gal
I loved my dog when I had one but aren’t very keen on everyone else s dogs so no I m not a doggie person (don’t like the smell of dogs either)
I don’t think I ve ever owned a silk scarf lots of ordinary ones but not any silk ones
Oh and I ve never been on a cruise nor really want too

Waitrose do not give freebies any more.
You have to have a minimum spend and have a My Waitrose card before you can have the price of the paper deducted from your shop and be allowed to avail yourself of the 'free' drink.

I voted Leave & would do so again.
I’m not a great fan of the RF. I’d like to see the numbers of them significantly reduced so we don’t have to pay for their upkeep (eg Prince Michael & Princess Pushy, plus many others.
I like animals.

I too think that lessismore was having a sly dig at a certain person, so I’m not joining in about the mean ‘scarves & Waitrose’ comment.

I wouldn’t say Waitrose is posh, I like it because it sells food and little else, it could take me a week to navigate the nearest Tesco, and Sainsbury’s I don’t mind, but it’s huge. Waitrose is a far pleasanter shopping experience, and much quicker!

I shouldn’t be here either. Dislike dogs, voted remain but couldn’t care less now, not remotely interested in food or fashion, don’t shop in Waitrose, don’t own a silk scarf, don’t watch, listen or read the news or know anything about apostrophes. I need shooting!

It would be a very dull place if we all thought the same. I'm remain, republican ( except for the present queen) and I love dogs and all animals. I do have quite a few scarves and shop at Waitrose.......

Yes, I was just about to ask the same question about scarves and Waitrose. Oh I know lessismore mentioned it , why I don’t know unless she was having a dig at someone.

So I voted leave, I like dogs, respect the Queen but not much time for any of the other members.

Grammeratto, no mention, my daftness.

Excuse me, pedant that I am, but where is there any mention of scarves or Waitrose? Have I missed something? Chaffinch?
I don't like scarves except for warmth. Always think of poor Isadora Duncan. (she who died when her long scarf got trapped in the car door)
Waitrose is too far away but I shopped there before it was considered posh!

ffinochio, I like your style, taking the freebies from Waitrose.

?hmmm does wanting to leave the EU & not liking dogs off set liking the RF?
It’s a close call? but I think you can be granted a Pardon.
