peppi think we have diverted the debate rather lol.....

modern technology versus the 'old' methods of communication ?

who misses the letter in the post, the spoken phone call from a mate not a text.... the real person in the flesh (so to speak!) rather than the cyber friend.....??

answers by carrier pigeon please.....lol

Peppi ....nothing now we have talked that one out ....


whats next

I do love reading a hand written letter and when my son was overseas he always said he loved getting his mail..

You are so right Rose.

My old PA never used to talk to me - communicated solely by e-mail!!

This method is fun and you can learn lots but like you I miss the letters in the post ....

My pigeon is on a week off!!!!!!!!!

I prefer to get letters and speak with people - but if it wasn't for 'cyber space' I wouldn't have made some of the good friends I have who are too far away to visit regularly .... so don't dislike modern technology :)

Off now - night folks.

And behave, because if you believe a certain poster I'm in charge at GR lol

I still write letters but less frequently, and mainly to older relatives and friends of the family.....

don't do texting, though after a 5 hour phone call from a mate the other night am seriously considering it lol

but it does worry me a bit that the art of conversation in person might be dying rather....

Me too folks off else where is that where your heading Tony see you there...thanks for the natter all xx

Night Tony, sleep well

I have been "boss of GR " too lol.... lousy salary though ;)

Night Tony, im off to in a min,

Hello Ann, lovely to see you, how are you? i hope things are a little easier,

I too love to get letters,

As much as I like e-mails and cyber communication I still feel that a real hand written letter is the best.
I tend to write "epic" letters myself 7 or 8 pages......lol

i dont have a clue what your all on about ..
think i will go a read a good book .

Hi Amanda ~~~

I do also feel that you sometimes get something from a hand written letter, a sense of the person more .

Hello Peppi, Ive popped in and out but think we are on about communication now!

Caz xx

That's right Rose.........you can tell things about people from their style of hand writing.

I have hundreds of old letters from over the years,stuffed in draws.....but I can't bring myself to throw any of them away.

Getting there slowly thanks Caz x

Snap Amanda, I do tend to write 'epic' letters also - particularly to my rellies in Oz ... we email in between letters, but I still love to get her airmails :))

Nite Tony

lol Peppi, well you can't beat a good book I have to admit....:))

my mum was a hoarder of letters Amanda...luckily, as many gave me clues to family which have helped with my tree :)
