Hi All I dont think anyone could imagine living in those days, my ancestors were no different either, Mums side seem to have been a bit middle class, where dads side were the poor side and you can see this in one of mums wedding photos. My Dads side the Harrisons were poor coal miners and had between 7 and 15 kids, and most of them lived, I dont seem to have a lot of child deaths in my families, I do know that they all lived in Coal miners cottages and when a son turned 14 were made to go down the mine as that was one of the conditions of living in the cottages, although the youngest miner in my family is aged 9 years, would be unheard of in this day and age. I often wonder what Christmas they had as they couldnt have had much money. Sad really. Regards Yvonne

This is one of the threads that have caused Dee to leave. My name (and that of others) appear beside her posts. She has asked me to nudge it.

So those who think the new boards are wonderful may like to reflect on their view.

GR should delete all the old threads then we can start again and have our own posts by our own names.

This happened to me as well and I raised it on the boards, I know others have as well.

GR should be ashamed of such a **** up - to use Dee's description.

Yes, I've noticed at least one of Dee's messages has my name against it. Not that I mind, but it's hardly fair on the original poster if their hard work and good efforts are 'given' to others.
What an almighty cock up!!.
Likewise, what if something not very nice has been written in the past, and suddenly you find YOUR name next to it!! Charming.
I remember, a short while ago Dee put up a thread about this, I didn't realise that this is what made her leave, and I'm sorry to hear that she has.

As i said - what an almighty cock up by GR.
Have they come up with an apology and explanation yet??

Well I think GR should apologise to Dee for putting my name as the poster of this thread.

I apologise to Dee for my name being put instead of Dee's name.

What a bloody cock up GR makes of threads and posts.

I am going to mail GR about this thread as I am annoyed for Dee.

Hugs for Dee
