I wonder how many GR members even know these boards are here? I didn't realise until recently that there are chat boards on Ebay. |

Possibly because threads are boring or too many arguments,i/e people reading things not in the manner they were meant to be read,plus of course the Phantom RR er :-( |

But you have shared stories of fred's friend too Sharron, they are funny as well. And you often give us a giggle so you keep the boards going. |

I read but don't often post although when I needed some comfort like when we lost our cat I did post and was overwhelmed with people's kindness |

Well I don't give a tinker's cuss for RRs but have had a lot going on at home recently so just trying to stay on top of what happens on the board and not adding threads, I was glad to be in a wifi hotspot when in Derbyshire so I could keep abreast of things when on holiday, especially as mobile signals were very hit and miss. |

I admire those trying to keep the boards alive but I really think GR has probably had its day. |
