    Me too - I'd love to write to someone. It'd be nice to use my 24/7 browsing time for something good! I registered to e-bluey and also on the yahoo group. Don't really understand how the e-bluey site works, but I'll have another read through this thread. Could someone kindly forward me the list of names please? Many thanks :)

    Do they only want single women to write to them? I am married, but am a great penpal (have 2 other penpals already). But perhaps soldiers don't want letters from married women?!!

    If you get details of service personnel and would prefer to send a 'real' letter, you can do so for free by getting a 'bluey' (HM Forces Airletter) from the Post Office.

    This only applies to personnel stationed at the following BFPO numbers; 538, 543, 545, 551, 554, 555, 559, 567, 598, 634, 635, 637, 639, 641, 645, 647, 649, 654, 655, 660, 662, 664, 669, 673, 676, 678, 681, 758, 767, 801, 802, 803, 804, 805, 806, 807, 808, 809, 810, 811, 812, 813, 814, 815, 816, 817, 818, 819, 820, 821, 822, 823, 824, 825

    No problem....

    just click on the name of the person you want to pm (at the left of each message) and there will be a menu that (among other things) says "Send a private message to Joe_Bloggs"

    Click on that and you're sorted.
