On my tod (no change there then) and looking at AB tonight it occurs to me that Mrs Pankhurst would be rightly proud of us females. Not just emancipated but pensioner power too thanks to t'internet. My dear Mother would spend her evenings dutifully sewing, mending or knitting, just as her mother had done. But now we have pensioners coming up with all sorts of threads. Makes you think, eh?
It's great to know that somewhere out there in the great sea of humanity, someone actually has a life...doesn't often happen that we get that news as fact.
still an oap, although I dislike the phrase a lot. I'm good Ena, worn out from the week-end but other than that I have a glass of red and a silkcut, so all's well with the world :o)
I think t'interweb must be a great boon for some people whose lives are not as 'full' as others.
A true emancipation; free to say what they truly think and feel, possibly for the first time in a long life.......
Jack - the voice of reason, again. Mamya, I know you are not a real oap - but as a GranMamya x 4 you have an honorary titular hold - ok? ROFL Red - sometimes you couldn't make it up, could you. Den - bless, I lost my Mother a long time ago, but I truly would not wish to change places with you x
I think the internet is a wonder and sometimes I just sit and think how much I would love my Grandad to come back and see how much knowledge we share and how small the world has become.
But I still think that the opportunity to write on forums is a privilege and not a right, Jack. I have always said that what is written here says so much about the writer and it is upon that record that we are 'judged' and others make a mental image of the individual poster. I have always stood by what I have written.
