I know this is being very disloyal , BUT I crept onto SS this afternoon

.
However, found it very hard to navigate and actually seemed full of adverts.

Has anyone had the same experience, promise I won"t tell G/n HQ

Didn't even know about it - don't fancy it anyway grin

SS sounds dreadful sad

Marelli Sun 10-Aug-14 21:40:09

I'd seen the advert for it on Facebook but I didn't like the name. hmm

Crow Sun 10-Aug-14 21:40:49

Never heard of it.

Charleygirl Sun 10-Aug-14 22:35:56

There is nothing of interest on it for me. I receive frequent emails from silver sulrfers.

PRINTMISS Mon 11-Aug-14 07:38:00

I found it particularly disappointing. As you say an awful lot of adverts, specially for holidays of the expensive kind, but not a lot of information.

I might have a look later.

Just had a quick look - they have a quiz! I do love a quiz!

I hadn't heard of it so I've just been for a nosey. The most recent post I could find was 2days ago. Most seemed to be 2wks + Not spontaneous enough for me.
Also I admit I didn't check for mobile format but what I saw wasn't good when viewed on my phone.

I've just been for a nosey too nina and they don't seem to be quite like us, do they. grin

Nonu Mon 11-Aug-14 10:57:53

WHO IS? We are a ONE OFF.
Laugh!

ninathenana Mon 11-Aug-14 10:59:39

kitty nonu So true grin

glammanana Mon 11-Aug-14 11:04:32

The name would put me right off so sorry no interest at all.

There are a couple of very good forum for the over 50s (those that aren't grandparents may feel they can't join this forum) and I belonged to one for a couple of years that was very busy - quite a few Australians on that site that were very funny and often made us laugh.

Nonu Mon 11-Aug-14 11:24:22

May I ask the name HOLLY?

HollyDaze Mon 11-Aug-14 11:29:00

I have sent you a message Nonu - I've only ever replied to messages so this is the first time I've initiated one so I hope I have done it correctly and that you receive it. If not, let me know.

I haven't posted the name on here as, usually, it is a bit 'frowned upon' to advertise another forum but if it's okay, I'm happy to post it on the thread.

Nonu Mon 11-Aug-14 11:44:12

Will go and have a look, speak later !

Nonu Mon 11-Aug-14 12:19:55

Hi HOLLY, I have pm"d you.

OOPS NORTY NONU, didn't know it was "Frowned" on.

Hope I don"t get put on the NORTY step.

smile

HollyDaze Mon 11-Aug-14 13:02:16

Yes, I have the message Nonu and have replied. It may not be frowned upon on this forum (I'm still getting to know the site and this is one thing I don't know the rules about) but as I gave a big clue in the post, I may be joining you on that norty step grin

Nonu Mon 11-Aug-14 13:08:02

wink

FlicketyB Mon 11-Aug-14 15:33:32

I wouldn't join anything that talks about 'Silver' anything to do with age.

Nonu Mon 11-Aug-14 17:34:55

How do you cope with GRANSNET then Flick, that is age related surely.
grin

shysal Mon 11-Aug-14 18:20:43

Had a quick peek and ended up doing a non-member dating search. I didn't fancy any of the matches found! blush

FlicketyB Mon 11-Aug-14 19:52:52

Gransnet doesn't describe us as 'Silver' anything. Its the silly euphemism 'silver' when they mean older or mature or retired that gets my goat, not age related sites per se.
