Gosh I'm getting lost. :unsure: As this thread has got over 6K posts what about closing the thread...open a new thread with the new name? Then put a link to this thread in the first post and a bit of blurb explaining why a new thread was opened.

Yes! I just ran a Search, and here is the definitive list: There was the original OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK thread started by Trotty, with 713,667 views: http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...4&highlight=50 Then this was closed and re-opened as the OVER 50's+ MOVING BACK TO THE UK - Part II thread, with 894,020 views: http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...4&highlight=50 Then there was the "Chit-Chat thread" (this one), currently at 322,370 views. TBH, I'm not particularly arsed what we do - whatever the decision is, I'll still come onto this thread (or whatever it becomes) and make rude "old fart" jokes. |

Actually, I vaguely recall that the original thread was closed and then re-opened (?) as a new thread, maybe because people were finding the thread was too long (????) I do remember being miffed because I wanted to see the number of "views" reach a million!! And then I think the chit-chat thread was created.

I'll track you lot down whatever name is decided upon. To be sure that we don't exclude any of the young uns why don't we call it "Over 18's only". That should generate a lot of hits, even if it is for the wrong reasons.:lol:

So, would that make it the "Adult" thread? Or am I confusing this with another Web site?

One of the shows that we have been enjoying, since being back, is "Great British Railway Journeys" with Michael Portillo. It is a little bit like "Coast" on rails. He travels throughout Britain on the train and shares all sorts of interesting information and the scenery is great.
I thought I would mention it for those that are overseas and may like to pick it up on their computer. |

Rodders, I heard she was looking for a new man in her life - you could always propose to her and be surrounded by her 11 kids. :rofl:

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
Well, the other day I realized the ITV iPlayer is beginning to charge for some programs. Today it seems that the BBC iPlayer is making a change, too. I tried to watch some shows I usually watch (Escape to the Country, for example) and it only lets me hear it through the BBC radio. Has anyone else noticed this - or am I doing something wrong?

I totally agree with You and John.
The thread was doing perfectly well and then because we have a slow day some people want to change the name, a slow day or weekend is nothing new, it happens, has it ever occurred to you that old posters wont be able to find us should they come looking. |
