I should probably say hello too! I’m Terry, hi everyone. Heard forums for the over 50s and 60s being mentioned on a podcast the other day as a great way to talk to people so I wonder if this’ll see a big influx of people! Anyway, nice to meet you all. Terry x
Yes, it is good fun, shelling peas and Casting the Pods.
Well, hi Terrycharles and welcome from me, the Grumpy old Scotsman !
Hiya Terry and welcome to the forum!
Can’t beat a bit of influx 
That brought me here too! What a good humoured bunch you all are, hi everybody
Hi to all who are have just joined and. A warm welcome from me as well . Photography is my interest so add any photos you wish to share in the photography section
Thanks so much for the warm welcome everybody! Lovely to join seemingly the same time as others, makes us feel a bit less nervous about getting stuck in I suppose. Hope you’re all having a great weekend so far

Hi terryC - may I call you that ? My son is Charles but usually Charlie. I assume you have retired but what was your job if you don’t mind ? Mine was an electrical engineer and travelled quite a lot. And it is very hot today !!

Terry c welcome, just down the corridor is matrons office, she locks us up at 9pm
I worked at a garage my brother-in-law set-up decades ago. Been retired for quite a while but didn’t mind it! Lucky you for getting to travel so much. Most far flung place you went to? And yes, terryC it is!

I have to say Terry I’m quite intrigued by this podcast. Is it still available?
I’ll try to find out what it’s called! It was on in my pals car. Not to be too bleak but it was about coping with being a widow/widower and communities that can help and one of the suggestions was forums for over 50s. They didn’t mention this one by name but I like to think this is the one they were referring to! I’ll try to dig it out

Thanks Terry, if you can’t find it no worries 
I’m a widower/single dad so that kind of resonates

I’m sorry to hear that. This does seem like a wonderful community to be part of. Very friendly and it’s raised a fair few smiles already today
Thanks Terry!
Spot on, that’s what I like about this forum,friendly with a variety of different people with different interests, it just seems to gel!
Okay, so there’s a bit of robust debate from time to time but that’s okay too.
terryC - that’s good ! One of my hobbies was car mechanics.
The travel ? One of the first was South Africa so I became Besoeker - it means “visitor”.
One of the most beautiful areas we SunMoon Lake in Taiwan. I spent some time in Taiwan.
