Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.
Could we not just all put first name, plus present location at the end of each post we submit???? I don't need more details, just enough so I can mention someone in a post and not get it wrong!! Then if someone new joins, we will know, because they won't know to do that initially, and we can politely ask them????? Or am I confusing everyone????
anna, malta!!!!

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.
Is anyone else having a hard time sorting out who is who and where from on this thread??? With so many different User Names, male and female, add our first names - I am going around in circles, getting everyone confused!! I thought Barb was in Australia??? Or is that Beedubya and Honeybun is Barb from ??? 
Forgive me if I get it wrong sometimes!! Perhaps we can simplify somehow, like all give first name (which usually will decide male or female too!) and country presently living in at the end of every post we write??? My brain is getting really befuddled these days!!! So I would be Anna, Malta. I confess to not always reading or remembering to look at the beginning of the post at the info given under user id. Sorry! If some are too shy/private/scared to give their first name, they can always make one up!! As long as they stick to it, no problem!!!! What do you all think???
BTW I have noticed that, despite it being sunny and 24 Celsius (approx) here all day every day, when it does rain (like yesterday morning), even though it was very windy too, the sun must not have the same intensity as it does in the Southern USA. My balcony this morning at 7 was still damp enough that I had to dry my chair off! Strange!!! Or is the ozone layer thicker in Malta than in the US??
