General Chat

It does worry me sometimes that people post when and where they are going on holiday, or other plans away from home. I don't like to draw attention to it at the time, but they are leaving themselves open to a burglary.

Karen, Yes, you were right, so you've probably found me (although I know there's at least two possible addresses on there, as someone had great delight in pointing out by PM). I do understand the concerns... however, surely by the very nature of this site, you're going to give out some details at some point ? Paul

That's why after a few days of being on here, I removed my maiden name from the site. It would appear, from a search on 192, that I am the only one of my name living up here. Although I would trust the majority on here, we must all be aware that there are a few nasties lurking who might pick up on our info.

The perennial thread killer saves the day, Moi. Night Gerri x Pat x

That killed THAT thread! lol Im getting good at this lol I'm off to bed too.. nighty night all. KEEP SAFE xx

Gerri the only Queens I like are Gay ones ;-) I am not a royalist , so no point being allowed in those circles LOL. I'm off now lots of stuff going on this week. Speak soon love to you Gerri take care my friend. Oh and I luvs ya too ;-))) Pat x

Jinglebells..... Pat in her circles for president!... yes?...prime minister even? (not queen cos it woud go to her head) LOL Thanks for the e.cards at my sad time pat. xxx Gerri x

Pat your talking a lot sense;;; not fair Babs

Let this be a warning to us all.....please do not give out too much information. Linda xx

OOpps sorry Gerri my love mature that's what I meant wise & mature PMSL. ;-))) Pat x

LOL Gerri I have had many responses to my emails amongst them very good responses but also I have had responses that were really a waste of time :-( The warning should be at the top of this message board not at the bottom. The policy of allowing non members to read the boards will not change yes it would be for commercial reasons, I think it is very unfair, people who are non members could read the topics but when clicking to read the responses they should be blocked so that only paying members could read all. I have said it over and over again I dislike the fact that non members, ex. members booted members and uncle tom cobberly and all can read all we write. It is wrong and unfair on us paying members, I would rather pay a little more to have a safer site. Pat x

Oi!!!! Pat in your circles!!!!! less of the old! you old git!... lol xxx xxx

Nudge sorry want to see if it comes up haeing trouble with keyboard and answered b4 Babs

Hi Pat me darlin :)))) If only we could put old heads on young shoulders...yes? I'm so very tempted to e.mail GR and inform them of the dangers of allowing non members to read these boards. Our members seem to think they are safe cos they have paid membership fees...they are NOT! but... Does anyone ever get a response from GR? will I be wasting my time? Is money more important to GR than human lives? I crawl back in my cage :((( Gerri x

Thanks for the advice Auntie Pat :-) No really I will bear that in mind Lucia :-)

Hi Lucia, Well you know I'm old like Gerri & some others Christine & Karen are catching up lol. No you have to protect yourself as much as you can while using message boards, chat boards and any sites on the internet I am sure you know that, I would think you know it is not advisable to let people know too much of your personal details, especially when you are not dealing one to one with someone, you know who they are. On here there are probably more reading these boards than contribute to them, they are the ones you never know about, that's when it becomes even more scary. Pat x

Pat, I don't know. I'm not as sensible as you :-) I mean I still be careful about giving away personal details but I don't hide too much. Lucia :-)

LOL Lucia Wallbank in Scotland came up too wide a search!!! Karen Try it yourself!! type your dads (etc) name and location!!

Hi Gerri lovely to see you :-) Thank you for that as people sometimes need a reminder or to be warned. Lucia why would you not care about people knowing where you live? We are not talking Christine,Gerri Karen Linda or me or others on general board we are talking people you have never even spoken to here, people you have never had anything to do with. Please take care & take advice it is in your best interest it is given, not to scare monger just for your safety. I don't see that as a laughing matter. Pat x

OMG!!!! Thanks Gerri!!! I just remebered !!!!! On said site!!! if you put your post code and the other persons into the map section you get a detailed map of how to get from A to B!!!! (turn left at the end of your street, then turn right onto a1 etc!!!)
