I've been thinking about this thread and wondering.

In November we shall become grandparents for the first time. We of course as you would surmise are delighted.

However it probably means absolutely nothing to you good people.

Is anyone going to bother posting a thread about the birth of our grandchild, a child they will be all probability never meet and in all likelihood never know.

If this is the case, as I strongly suspect it is, why on earth did anyone start this thread.
