We normally meet in the evening but for various reasons ended up having lunch and with a discount voucher in hand we all met up and reminisced for 4 hours over a slow pub lunch of fish and chips and zero alcohol beers. We have known each other for 58 years or thereabouts. We were down on numbers as one has Sciatica which sounds painful and the other lives up north and so we only see him when he is down this way!
So that is that for 2025 and another meet up in January awaits. I'll no doubt be charged £12.50 for daring to enter (by just under a mile) the ULEZ zone!
As for Gatekeepers this refers to Admins of groups on Facebook particularly but I've known it for other sites. They can be fine or they can be cantankerous and also they aren't really wide awake either. One asked me about the App and they couldn't get that it was global but why would I want to advertise in their area? Where are you based? asked another. They too could not equate that as the App was available everywhere that it didn't matter where I was bade and they couldn't understand it as theirs was a local group? They then have some petty rules which are surely made to trip you up?
This is like Instagram that repeatedly tells me it wants content and then because I posted twice a day stopped my account! I had to go through hoops to unlock it not once, not twice but three times. It said my account was acting like a bot. I politely explained that it was they who were encouraging me and near on bombarding me with emails to post content so I spent some time making posts with tins of SPAM on them and posting those for a while.
Into battle again with those Admins today - Christmas Spirit? Bah Humbug!
