Hiya Peeps :-) Well I used to be on here every day but had some time out during last pregnancy and after having baby but 15wks on I am getting back into it but I see some things dont change. I have taken the time to go over old messages and reply to people that have been waiting but some of the messages are still as rude as ever ie TELL ME ABOUT YOUR BILL SMITH not so much as a hi Shaz or a Regards 'so an so' I ignore these sort of requests everytime. I dont know...lol... awww well I know these peeps are the minorityso I will just suffer them... Rant Over!! Shaz x

I guess you mean the contact messages Shaz? They are so rude sometimes - it doesnt help that GR give those abrupt little automatic replies 'this is not my relative' really rankles with me! I always think to myself, Thank Gawd they arent related to me!

Tell me about it Shaz! The ones that annoy me are the ones that are one sentance long and come across as demands not requests. Then if you delete the rude so-and-so's they come back. Again. And again. Anyhoo, lovely to 'see' you Shaz lol

My father used to say you can choose your friends but not your relatives. The rude ones might have the imformation you need. Grr.
