Hello Sally, I had a message from someone who said he couldn't find my profile and I was wondering how I could find profiles, could you help please.

Kind regards.

Jean
Response from Freeno21 made on 29th Mar 2023 13:32:24 > @jean999
click on their name in light blue, though most profiles I have looked at don't have much on them. Hope this helps. Regards.

Hello again Sally,

When I click on My Account, I can see Profile but then when I click on profile it just lists messages I have sent. How do I add a Profile?

Thanks.

I find this site confusing. It’s not laid out the way other forums are so difficult to know whether what you are doing is correct.

I totally agree with you. Certainly not an easy site to negotiate through. Perhaps it is my age. However I am sure it will get easier with time.

I don't know why I'm only seeing these 3 year old messages- I hope the forum is still active! I just signed up & just wanted to let you know that I'm not much younger than you, so we might have some shared experiences and interests to talk about. Adjusting to a new town can be challenging, especially when you don't know anyone yet. Not sure where you are but I'm based in Central London & working from home ended up with no friends to speak of! Yet I do have social skills- the problem is lack of opportunity after old friends move out! Don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to chat, ask questions, or share your thoughts.

Hi Willhelm

I'm in South Yorkshire but always happy to chat. I try my best to check in at least once a day and look at the chats.
Response from AJDallas made on 11th Dec 2022 23:25:24
Hi Willhelm,
South Yorkshire maybe, but that is definitely a German/European name. I live very near the Gower,South Wales. Tell me about yourself. Hobbies, interests, career, dreams and hopes. Let’s just chat.

Sorry for the delay, I work in the North and Riding plus Harrogate Ripon and Wetherby areas as an Ops Manager I leave the house early around 5:15 and return around 17:30 to have dinner and then sort my Emails out. Thank you for the Kind reply and I've just bought a few more gits and just hope they get delivered in time with the GPO going on strike.
Response from Willhelm made on 12th Dec 2022 20:22:33 > @AJDallas
As you see above I don't have a lot of spare time although I bought a pretty good metal detector that is gathering dust, I did have it out in anger this summer though when I rented a Villa in the Loire for the family and spent the early mornings before it got to hot looking for treasure although all I found was nuts and bolts a Jean stud and a hub cap from an old car.
I've only got as far as Swansea in South Wales I did some work at Goresinion I think it was called and a lot more recently just outside of Rhyl in the North.

Hi Willhelm,
I've given up on getting some deliveries in time for Christmas. Think it's just hit or miss now when we will get the Postman at the door.
How's the travelling for work going with the current weather? Those early starts mean you'll be getting all the lovely untraveled, frosty roads first thing.
Response from Willhelm made on 15th Dec 2022 19:56:28 > @LLowdell
It's been a challenge in the North and East Yorkshire area Scarborough and area seems to have had it worst on Wednesday . I have three projects up there and one of the Teams who live in Brotton had to get home via the A64 the coast road was shut as was the Pickering road. A bit warmer today. Hope you are keeping well.

Hi WIlhelm, I’m In S Yorks, I used to work for BR and travelled between Scotland and London as I worked as an auditor and was based in York/London mostly, although prefer the north. I get free rail travel, but haven’t been anywhere by train, due to covid in over two years. My single daughter and I tend to drive to holiday parks or camp sites, as we have a chi and a chorkie, our last hol was to Morecambe, wasn't’ very Impressed.

hi Dallas,,just popped in because of where you are ,need to tell you a funny story ,not funny then ,but I was in a chippy in the Mumbles area, it was a very long queue and I was next but one to be served ,when , a tap on my shoulder with a message ." a policeman wants to speak to you now .. I was served ,,went out .and was met by an irate policeman , who shouted at me and said I should have come out IMMEDIATELY I explained that I had been waiting ages in the queue, The problem was ,,I had parked my car with one wheel on the pavement ... Where do you live ?he asked ,I explained that I was staying at the hotel ,as we were working in the area ,,all 10 of us .
the other girls thought it was hilarious ,dragged out of a chippy by a copper ..

Hi Sandie, Unfortunately I worked through Covid as a key worker thats the bad bit the good part is that the first lockdown I spent in the Lake District where we were installing a new water pipeline. It was marvelous completely devoid of tourists.
I managed to get away to France between the two lockdowns just getting back a day earlier before the second lockdown started. Your free rail travel must be marvelous I love travelling on the train but these days it is more often than not cheaper to fly. I've just broken up for the festive season and just winding down with all work at a halt. The last job to close was in Ripon and for a minute I thought it was touch and go wether we would be finished.
I hope you and your family are well.
Response from AJDallas made on 4th Feb 2023 20:49:57 > @Ariadne
Hi A,
Name too long. Your story was so funny, if you don’t have a Welsh accent beware! Seriously just joking. I’m twenty minutes from the mumbles. So where are you from?
Response from CaroB4 made on 26th Feb 2023 21:06:07 > @Willhelm
I was readng the conversations and saw you had missed the f out. Made me laugh as I remembered That's Life with Esther Rantzen years ago reading an announcement of Births out of a paper...this one read " James and Ann are pleased to announce the safe arrival of their baby... a git of a son...David"...

I know your area - lived in Knaresborough through the 90's...elder son lives there with his family now- best view ever over the river and Mother Shipton;s Cave from the Castle...in autumn!
Younger son lives in York...lovely part of the World!
