Re: Do Any Of Your Friends Or Neighbours Log On Here?

For me, here on OFF, it's a way to meet a different kind of person, see how the other half lives.

I imagine there's not much fun in putting the world to rights with people you know. There's so much more to talk about.

Not much chance round here, most of my neighbours appear to be "Normal" but, looks can be deceptive.

Re: Do Any Of Your Friends Or Neighbours Log On Here?

None of my neighbours post on here as far as I know. In fact most of my neighbours would be under 50 so not eligible to join. My next door neighbour is two years younger than me but she is in very bad health at the moment so no, I couldn't imagine her joining the forum either.

To sum up, no it wouldn't bother me if anyone I knew personally joined here.

Re: Do Any Of Your Friends Or Neighbours Log On Here?

It wouldn't bother me if anybody I knew was also a member on here, because what I say on here I would be happy to say in a real conversation!

Problems may occur if 2 neighbours or friends were members and criticised what you said to each other, but they are entitled to their opinion..... I would just wish they had the guts to say it to my face!

Re: Do Any Of Your Friends Or Neighbours Log On Here?

If someone visits you, say one of your family or friends and you’re logged on a forum, maybe you’re posting or reading the threads. Would you mind them knowing you were a member of a forum and be happy to show them your various posts?
What if they said, they’d like to join too, would you be quite happy with that too?

So you are all neighbours after all...... are you sure you don't know Mr & Mrs Holt?

No, not really. I'm sure I have typed stuff that could prove embarrassing.

I have no idea whether they do or not.
