Gransnet forums

Gransnet cafe

Welcome to the *Gransnet Café. This is a non-judgemental space for you to pop in for a cuppa with some virtual friends, seek out advice for a particular problem, or share an update on your life - important or trivial. Feel free to have your say and chat about your day, but please leave any arguments at the door. If you're struggling to find someone to talk to in real life, or are simply looking for a bit of a chat, this is the place for you.

Relatively new here so an introduction.

Joined about two weeks ago.

Living just east of Louth in Lincolnshire.

Finding sometimes that I am living ''inside my head'' too much...maybe it's an age thing

Welcome Micksterbs. I've been on here for about 5 years and tend to stick to the less controversial forums. I avoid News and Politics as that was my working life for many years but dip into other forums as and when. Hope you enjoy GN and find it welcoming. Many lovely contributors here!

Hi Micksterbs, welcome to GN!

Was your username inspired by Terry Wogan's TOGS?

Can't remember that one.
Anita Bush springs to mind.

I remember others but maybe not quite yet !!

Hello Micksterbs. I am a retired mental health nurse too. I have been here for many years but don't tend to co tribute very much. I stick to topics that interest me and steer well clear of anything political. Enjoy Gransnet, it is always entertaining and often very informative.

Then we will probably share the same kind of humour.

Welcome. Try Good Morning and soop's kitchen. You will not get your head bitten off or pulled up for grammatical errors on those threads.

I have been around for many years now and I have learned so much and picked up many tips. I have also contributed.

No worries...been around on the net long enough to give and take.

Thanks for commenting as well.
