New to gransnet

welcome maisie...

Thank you. I am finding my way around the site. All very new to me as a technophobe but will get there .

Welcome! Hope you enjoy GN!

Good luck with that maisiejo seems to be a cliquey set up to me

And hello and welcome to you too, * christinefrance*!

Welcome Maisiejo I hope you enjoy the site.

Christinefrancethat's not very a very nice observation,I'm sure Maisiejo will find the threads or information that she has an interest in and like a lot of people ignore the rest.

Entitled to make my observations but good to get a response tanith

Sorry alea thanks for the welcome [smile ]

As I used to say to my children, if you can't say anything nice don't bother speaking Christinefrance!!!

Stirrer?

Not the best of starts
We shall see!

Well truly, are your children not allowed an opinion mumofmadboys

Welcome maisiejo I hope you enjoy GN.

Christinefrance you seem to have made your mind up about the site already. Your prerogative

Yes ninathenana it is, just wanted to see if it was really so much sweetness and light.

Is it half term?

Who needs sweetness and light all the time? The oyster needs a little grit to make a pearl.

Nobody ever promised sweetness and light.
Now courtesy and civility that is another matter

Hello Maisiejo and welcome to GN. Lots of chat and advice, as well as the occasional heated discussion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and most people express it but it is all very democratic.

I've been on GN for a couple of years now, Christinefrance and not found it cliquey at all. What has made you feel like this? Have you had a bad experience of posting? If so, that is very sad but usually people are made welcome.

Welcome Maisiejo and Christinefrance. Hope you will enjoy Gransnet despite the misgivings.

Thanks shysal & judthepud2 hope misgivings unfounded, and yes annodomini a little grit is good.

Hi christinefrance & maisiejo . Sweetness and light and a good bit of grit always makes for an interesting mix on GN Hope you both enjoy it .

Do you live in France cf? I do.

Yes I do ffinochio, where are you ?

Don't worry about being a technophobe Maisiejo if I can bumble around here any body can
