    Are we all going to wear a safety pin then?
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    Can I come????

    Mentioned this to OH, he thinks I'm going to meet some man.....that's good, keeps him on his toes!

    I realised yesterday, that I haven't been out of the county of Devon since we moved my mother down here in May 2005. Yes, I know it's lovely down here, but I really should get out more!

    Hi, Tibbie's Mum! :hello: You will be most welcome.

    Ref Caterina's suggestion - it may well be a good idea to have some sort of sign so we can recognise each other, does anyone have any suggestions besides the pin? I know that I've provided a brief description of myself with the green coat, so hopefully if you spot me then that would be a start. But I wondering if there's a more efficient way of doing this, so that people don't have to approach strangers and ask them if they're MSE!

    I am "well built" and have short red hair and glasses, and will be standing near Fran ;)

    If I remember I shall wear a safety pin on my lapel, so there!

    I am short and dumpy with long hair that looks like it needs a good cut.

    If you expect anyone to recognise you from that description, you'll be disappointed - they'll walk straight past you :rolleyes:

    Next time we go out, we're going shopping for a new mirror. Yours is obviously broken.

    :D

    Definitely, kerching -see you there! I've lost count of the numbers but it looks like we will be quite a big group! The more the merrier!
