Find Living Relatives

Beware!!! I recently posted a search for a lost relative and got a reply from organizations seeking to walk my dog. Not only is it unhelpful I feel it is downright insulting. :-P

Where did you post this? not on this site I take it?

yes on this site

Where is this thread?

Never heard of anything like that happening before

How can organizations contact you if only members can reply? unless you posted your email address on your post?

Is this the thread?

This site is NOT secure.....

True Reggie

But how can a non member reply to a posting on these boards?

Unless it was some idiot who thought they would make a joke of the request...maybe because Battersea was mentioned?

If Michael is referring to a PM, there must have been a member's name on the message

He seems unduly het-up about it..............he could have sent an appopriate reply to the sender.

Anyone who replied either by PM or on the thread is a paying member just like yourself.

There is nothing in the rules that says everyone has to be helpful I'm affraid....although most are

If they were rude and insulting then you may have cause to report them

Jax is right. You would have to be a paying member to send a pm.

Now under the T&C's on GR wouldn't this member of breached them under section 11.

So in my opinion reading the paragraph above this person has breach the T&C's and should be reported to GR.

Agree Jax, it's very strange.

Sorry Gai... I deleted as I had more or less said it before

JAX
I am the IDIOT !!!






I do not know WHY Michael/Jill is so overwrought.

A namesake they were seeking, is on GOOGLE,
the one mentioned in LONDON, & I sent the link.

It lists her mobile telephone number etc.

This lady has also a LONDON address
The postal code patchem mentioned

. :-S

DOG / CAT
DO I ASSUME IT WAS ME ;-)

OR AM I INNOCENT ?

Obviously Michael did not read your reply properly Kingsmill :-D

Now I see where the walking the dog came from

Did Michael thank you by any chance ;-)

Edit- Thats not bad cat sitting for free have to get her number :-D

I got thanks but they wanted verification it was the correct person.

But they only had to email the website so they could get in contact or ring the mobile number.
If it is the wrong person, they can come back to the original thread & we could look again.

Tried looking under freelance journalists ie for something she published but could find nothing ........ of course will have been pre-internet days & nothing recent.

:-D


PS

Bought a cat flap today at a car boot sale & I do not have a cat ! :-S

Well...Unless Michael has another explaination about the message he/she recieved....you must be the Organization who wants to walk their dog :-D

I have a cat but she is a house cat, so cat flap is no good to me :-)

Michael clearly has not read the message carefully - just jumped to
an erroneous conclusion..............

And now where is he?

Huffing and puffing somewhere in 'righteous' indignation, I shouldn't wonder

Brilliant cross-communication.
