Do stay Chaffinch I am with you except the animal thing.

I voted Remain.

Gave over 70 scarves to the Charity shop and still have two drawers full. Each one rolled up like a sock and held firm with a rubber band. This inclused lightweight scarves right through to Pashminas. Each and every one has a purpose.

Grew up with dogs and every week used a roll of sellotape trying to be 'dog hair free' when I'd go out. It really put me off. Love cats and until recently always had a cat.

I don't shop in Waitrose, I don't wear silk scarves, I don't own a dog , I like having a monarchy. No one has shot me down yet ?
And, I love GN.

You are not alone.

I got a telling off on a "Brexit Thread" earlier this week, I am sticking to "nice threads" for a while ?

Yes, GG13, I am hiding behind the sofa now!

Chaffinch please stay, there are a leave voters and Royalists on here, they just keep their heads down.

Anrol Wed 11-Sept-19 13:40:44

Hallelujah sisters...chaffinch, H1954 and all others....I feel like a pariah sometimes, or someone with a very guilty secret!

Chaffinch and H1954: I'm with you.
Aggie: you are right, scarves are very high maintenance unless tied tight enough to throttle.

Cats contribute nothing but poop.

I prefer Remain but I am losing the will to live.

I'm Gran age but no Gran.

Do stay ! , I voted Remain but can't be bothered arguing about it , not particular about dogs or cats , floaty scarves are like droopy rags and the wander round my neck , does any one else notice scarves walking round ? I end up with a long trail and a wee short bit strangling me smile

No Waitrose near me so don’t shop there. Not a scarf person, am no good at nonchalantly flinging them round my neck and looking stylish.

Could you be my long lost twin? ?

I also voted to leave........and still want to!

I am proud of our Monarchy!

And I'm not a dog lover, detest the term "fur babies' . I wouldn't hurt a dog but have no yearning to own one. Just don't get me going on cats..........flaming sh***y little demonic critters!

If that upsets any GNetters I DO NOT CARE!!!!

I'm with you on Brexit, chaffinch, but I do like all animals (probably better than I like humans) and would like to see the monarchy pay roll severely pared down to the direct heirs only- Charles, William, George.

Oh please stay chaffinch, we need more like you! Anyone to put a spanner in the works, wakes them all up!

Lessismore Wed 11-Sept-19 13:12:50

But do you like Waitrose and overpriced silk scarves?

chaffinch Wed 11-Sept-19 13:10:32

I only comment infrequently on here. Looking at all the different topics and viewpoints, I have come to the conclusion that I am not suitable to be on Gransnet because;

a. I voted Leave, and still want to Leave.

b. I like having a monarchy and (most) of the Royal Family.

and worst of all !

c. I am not a dog lover.

There, I have committed the 3 deadly Gransnet sins.
