Take pity on a granny of very little brain

PS I know it's not night there talking of which

I was joking Absent

'Forward, the Night Brigade!'
Was there a gran dismay'd ?
Not tho' the members knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to make a cry

Nothing we say on here is our copyright and Gransnet has the right to use and publish it. That's why I very rarely supply a recipe for anything as I would be cutting my own professional throat.

Faye - is it permitted to ask "Why"????

Isn't it copyright?

It hasn't gone, I still have it up on my iPad on another window.

There was nothing much after you apologised 'for mixing up my grans and my granny's' Grace everything of value had been said before.

Do you keep an eagle eye on absolutely every thread on this site, Bluebell? Just in case...?

GM - believe me you missed absolutely nothing!

And as usual - I missed it

You didn't miss anything, gracesmum. The thread was heading for the exit but was shot down when it had a change of heart and came back for a little lap of honour.

"What larks!"

!!!!!
Only arsking, m'lud!
Maybe another explanation for those of us who missed it?
Please, pretty please with a cherry on the top? ]

This thread will also be deleted you realise.

"Congratulations GNHQ - massive own goal I think."

I've suggested in the past that threads are frozen rather than deleted, then everyone could see the problem, but nothing happened.

Nothing happened. Nobody got overheated. Nobody said a word wrong.
No members individual posts was deleted
.
The thread was deleted at 20.18. 'We're going to be deleting this thread shortly. Getting a bit dizzy watching it spin in circles'

I made my thoughts known at the time that there are far worse threads that don't get deleted.

I repeat what I have said before. If a thread is deleted without proper explanation from GNHQ then members will ask what happened, make up reasons and it will serve no purpose.

Who said OWN GOAL

I blame GCHQ as well as GNHQ and too much [and

That seems like a good idea jane

Yes Gracesmum. On the professional forum I belong to, threads are occasionally locked, but not deleted, if things are getting overheated.
That way, other forum users get to know what's acceptable and what's not.

I hadn't noticed that it had gone.

I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to archive a thread so that those who may have missed out could at least read it. Clearlly this would not apply to deletions for reasons of racism or obscenity

It seems that if a thread succeeds in making GNHQ's collective heads spin (and has of course received a certain number of complaints), its deletion is a matter of form these days....

The thread was beginning to fade away and then one or two people posted (nothing confrontational) and GNHQ felt that as it was going round in circles they'd delete it.

I'm not going to give an opinion or they'll delete this one as being a thread about a thread.
