    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Over 50s, silver savers? I don't mind as long as I can find this forum!

    A bit ageist don't you think? I rather object to being called a 'silver saver'!

    The name needs to be the one that welcomes everyone over 50 not just those who don't mind the reference to being called a silver saver. I for one intentionally avoid this thread because I object to being categorised and called a silver saver. Over 50's or Fab Over 50's is a lot more welcoming I think. Otherwise I will definitely avoid this thread altogether as silver saver sets the wrong tone for the thread and I'm sure others are avoiding this thread as well because of the name.
