I have been to meets in Poole, Portsmouth and London. I am shy and not good at mixing socially and tend to listen more than find things to talk about unless it is about family history; everyone I have met has been friendly.

And I daresay you would be more than welcome LadyAugusta. That's what the meets are for, to get together with like-minded people.

I haven't been to a full London meet, but I'm sure they are as much fun as the others from what we see on the boards after.

I am courteous to anyone I meet in real life, if they have a problem with me then they can do one of two things..

1) have the b@lls to say what it is ie what's their prob and we can discuss it in an adult fashion and try to solve it.......if they're not prepared to .

2) they can leave the room

How do we know,that lovely person who served you in a shop last week,or that wonderful nurse who was a diamond,,,hasnt been a pain on here?

anyone at any meet could be a real horrible person at heart,


what better way to get anything off your chest if you need ,,,,,,,is meet someone in real life when you can do justice in reality.......... than words on a screen..

Hayley, I know who you mean, and yes I felt embarrassed for you...but hey we live and learn. Some people don't like others taking the limelight...LOL
