I’m Percy Vere, aka Percy (or PV) for short. I’m a retired scientist living in the Cathedral city of Worcester. I’m married to the light of my life, Val and it’ll soon be our 30th wedding anniversary. I’m looking forward to making lots of new virtual friends on here so, I’ll jump right in and start catching up with some of the most popular threads.

Welcome to the forum Percy. Are you related to Doctor Vere by any chance?
Hope you enjoy it.
Welcome to OFF Percy.
Your missus isn’t called Gwen by any chance? 
Thanks for the welcome although I was a little unsure when I read “Welcome to OFF”. Then I realised it was short for Over 50s forum:017: :-D.
The answer to your questions is no, I’m not related to the Dr and my wife’s name is not Gwen.
Hi Percy and welcome, hope you enjoy your time on Over50sForum. 
Hello Percy welcome…
You get used to the madness after a while. 
Hi Percy! We know each other from another forum 
Haha! Gwen Vere…geddit? 
Hi there Potential Voltage!
Hello Percy welcome to Over50sForum…
A very warm welcome Percy. Looking forward to your contributions to the Threads.
Or could be Photo Voltaic…
Hi Percy
A warm welcome from me the Lion Queen, don’t forget to curtsey before me now or I might just have to eat you :-p hehe, I’m not that scarey really 
Welcome to the giant test tube that is OFF Percy. Have a jolly time.
Thanks all. I’m used to being in a madhouse 
Glannie mentioned we know each other from another forum, which is true, we’ve “known” each other for about 15 years or so. What she didn’t say was that we actually met briefly one day in real life with our spouses.
“Gwen Vere…geddit?” Nope - I’m struggling with that one.
I wonder how many people on forums meet in real life. I can remember just one. A programmer in the industrial field I worked in. It was handy and I put some work his way. Useful professional relationship.
I met him on the forum that Vanna used to run.
Yep 
We discovered we were going to be at Dublin airport at the same time
