I think I had been visiting the site for about a week, and somebody posted a Q on electric scooters (for the seniors) have to be polite, cos I'm nearly there, and Pippa had already remarked on a thread about the amount of them in our town. I posted that I lived there too, and she kindly started a little "chat". A couple of weeks later, when somebody (think it may have been ~posy~) asked where people lived, I didn't join the thread immediately, but looked at all the replies, and dear Pipsqueak had put "Worthing, home of the tomato and n00dles"...
That's when I realised I was welcome!!!
