And hello back at you.:)

W/we've been living in the UK for over two years now and have yet to meet another B/F couple. W/we've seen some, but not actually met any.

Sad huh?

[cara]

That's terribly sad! :(

Hi from Seattle! :)

[Words]

Hey Cara :)

My partner lived in Seattle for some 16 years or so and Hy's always saying how similar the climate there is to the one we have here in the UK. Something about Seattle and the UK being on the same latitude (47 degrees, or thereabouts)?

So...is it raining? (It's been pouring down all day here.) I've been lucky. The two times I visited the weather was great but I've heard it can get pretty - and yes, that is, apparently, an understatement - wet.

It's a beautiful autumn day in Seattle. No grey or rain! (yet). I lived in Edinburgh, Scotland for a year and can attest that the weather in the UK is similar. Edinburgh, however, was much windier, which made the winter months very cold.

Sad huh?

That is just wrong. I was in London for a weekend this summer and met... well, actually now that I say that I realize I met lots of butches and femmes but none of them were couples.

Guess you gotta get out more, or at least say hello when you see them.

[Words]

London's a bit different. O/our nearest gay bar, or what used to be our nearest gay bar (it's now closed), was some 20 miles away, and when W/we did go there, it was fully of very young androgenous types with a few little baby butches thrown in for good measure so W/we kind of gave up on it even before it closed down.

You're right though, W/we do need to get out more, even if it means going over to Brighton or up to London. W/we're just a little limited because of my daughter, but hey, perhaps W/we'll give it a try next time she's at respite care. It's certainly something worth thinking about.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Welcome from across the pond as they say. ;)

[Angelika]

Oh I go to London on a semi-regular basis (I am currently in Prague) ... and I love it. Been to Brighton once, loved it too *grins*

Every time I have been to London, I have 'seen' Butches and/or Femmes, albeit have not met any past a brief hello; I am not usually there long enough ... or for pleasure ... so that will limit 'my' meeting them.

Perhaps next trip I will make a post here and if it works out, people in London or around London would consider meeting for coffee (or tea :D).

At least you were able to sign up.

As W/we told you before, B/both of U/us have tried to sign up several times over over the past six months or so but for some reason, W/we've not been approved. More annoying is the fact that the Admin. doesn't even bother to respond to my notes about it.

I saw it all, you are bad :D I went to answer your PM but you had been banned.... :eek:

this was the reason i was banned - quote

"You have been banned for the following reason:
The last straw calling LB a twat

Date the ban will be lifted: Never"

.........the fact that i didnt actually call LB that word, for which language i would have certainly been banned, though his wife wasnt when she used it, doesnt seem to matter - hy actually called me a t--t and i pointed out that i said what i did in jest, just as did his wife - however, it does appear theres one rule for me and another rule for the "in crowd"

I knew when i posted it i would be banned because hy has been sending me threatening emails/pms for a long time, telling me to leave and what hy would do it i didnt - yet i havent actually done anything - people are leaving because they are fed up with the dictatorial way they are running the site and those who remain are just scared to speak their minds or of course there are those who need the support and dont get it elsewhere - it makes the owners and their supporters feel superior - talk about power corrupting - trouble with people like that is in the end, they get left in a sinking ship...................i prefer to be where theres no prejudice against transguys, older people etc, which many felt there was on that site, rightly or wrongly. I know i experienced a lot of hostility from certain parties and for no apparent reason except maybe being in a stable relationship and not into public slanging matches..............which they seem to relish on there. Anyway I wont be losing sleep over it - bedtime.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Words]

You rebel you.:)

I think you're right though. When I tried to sign up, I was asked to give a little info. so I told them a bit about U/us. And that, as they say, was it. When they didn't respond to my first attempt to sign up and my various notes with anything but a standard response about the activation queue or whatever I tried signing up under a different ID but no, still no joy, so I can only assume that they check IP addresses? Eventually, I called them on it and said that if there was a particular reason why they didn't want U/us on the site then would they at least have the decency to tell U/us what it was and that's when the 'correspondence' came to an abrupt end.

Anyway, sorry they treated you so badly. At the end of the day though it's their loss, not yours. Medusa and Jack are clearly passionate about making this place welcoming to everyone, - even us cranky, decrepit Brits;) - so I'm sure you'll be much happier here. And if you're not? Well, then it's your own bloody fault. LOL...

Hugs to you both,

...............ya know, im far from the rebel, on sites im polite, respectful and accept others points of view - most people enjoyed the banter they had with me - maybe that's the problem, all the attention has to be on the owners and their cronies, plus if you dont hold the same views as them they take it as a personal attack. I feel its good to hear things from others perspective, gives you something to think about and i keep an open mind, as you know with the discussions we have had..............as for being racist, misogonist, sexist - the list goes on of things i am accused of...............its absolute rubbish. There are people on that site who have used absolute foul language, been offensive, threatening, called people C---ts even, its disgraceful, yet they are told "calm down" ...............me, i dont even get a chance to answer back when they have a go at me, im just banned, for life this time.............to be truthful, i was only remaining on there because of their attitude towards me, over the last 6 mths the owners and their hangers on have become very unpopular with many people, so much so, the posts are getting less frequent.
Anyhow, now the Mullet's on here, i can carry on insulting hym, as hy expects me to - its just gotta be done...............

Hey folks ... I'm not actually IN London or near it either (5 hours drive), but I do get up to London every now and then and if I'm staying there for a few days it is usually around the Crawley area.

Next time I'm going to be up that way for a few days, it would be great to meet up for coffee and a chat.

I'm in the South-west and the city I'm in has 1 gay bar that is for the most part for the gay males. However, there are usually a few baby butches there.

[Jennifer1984]

Hi everyone. I am a Londoner by birth, but now live in the West Country.

I come from Blackheath originally and still have family in London. I now live in the beautiful county of Cornwall, with my wifey of nearly four years. I wouldn't want to ever move back to live in London, but we do go "up country" from time to time to visit my relatives so if any of you are around and about when we're there, it would be cool to say "Hi".

Amanda and I met when we were at university in Portsmouth, so we used to go to Brighton (which is only an hour or so along the coast from there) for weekends.... to do the scene... that kinda stuff. We only ever go to Brighton now for Pride, which is always a blast.

Cornwall is not especially a "gay oriented" place. There is only one gay club in the whole county, and it was only in 2008 that there was the first ever Gay Pride held in Truro, so it's a bit of a backwater as far as "The Scene" goes, but there is no shortage of luvverly lesbians here, we get together for meets from time to time and we're all pretty good friends.

Are there any other Kernews on this site..?

Well, that's me. It'd be good to hear from anyone who wants to share info, or tips about clubs and places to go, and that kinda stuff. I look forward to hearing from you.

Love and hugs
Jen xx

[T4Texas]

Hi Jen! Nice to see you made it here and hope you enjoy the site. My best to Amanda.

[honeybarbara]

hey words! thought I'd pop by here.

I don't know very many resourses for outside london. there used to be club wotever in brighton but I think it may have closed down. but the website will have that info.

don't worry about butchfemme.co.uk. Most of the people I enjoy got kicked off of that site and they are very wierd about what you can and can't talk about. most of the people I've talked to on there are oop north. but that site is very wierd in terms of admin and banning every other person. Nothing missed, trust me.

actually I do know of another uk site... can't recall the address but my old landlord used to go there, I'll check with her.

[Words]

Hey you *smile*...

Yep, I heard the same thing about the UK site and have decided it's not worth the bother. I'm curious though, does it have anything to do with the US site?

So....the big question....what's the weather like where you are? W/we're completely snowed in here - W/we live at the top of a hill and it's been over a week since vehicles have had access or been able to leave) - and yes, W/we've definitely had enough.

Keep in touch!

Words

[honeybarbara]

Honestly? the two people who started it caused a fairly large upset in butch-femme 1) because of british humour (which I'm sure as you know doesn't translate well into american culture) and for which I was sympathetic. I understood that gap and it made me cringe knowing the misunderstandings going on. 2) they were also not interested in learning anything and rather... I'm not sure how much I am able to say in this forum. On GB I'd be able to speak frankly but american sites are a bit more - discretionary.

so they used to be members but left. possibly one of them was banned. But no, most definitely not affiliated with bf.com

weather is a bit shit. the ice was very bad for almost a week and I haven't been able to exercise much so I'm getting a bit ... house buggy. Inks and I are in a studio suite (large enough for two, but it's still a studio) in Newington green. The location is fantastic for socialising, shopping, transport. But since the snow and her having to do night shifts cause I'm waiting for my job to start (end of jan) it's a bit squishy and doesn't fulfill the purpose of us taking a smaller place in a better area. Since walking and cycling is slightly suicidal at the moment.

walking is ok if you stick to the main roads. but there's still black ice everywhere so I find cycling on the main roads in london a bit nerve wracking. I'm a bit house bound.

Still snowing as we speak...

hey peeps hi from the US! i miss the UK -london and scotland esp-i studied there eons ago -maybe someday il come back.

that I need to be on the look out for people in the London area who may be willing to help me out in a jam.

So, here's the issue. I have a trans-continental-atlantic flight scheduled to depart YVR (Vancouver, Canada) on June 10th, arriving in Gatwick at around 8am June 11th. My return flight is scheduled for Sept 9th. I am considering staying in a 'yotel' in Gatwick during my 9 hour layover between my flight from Malta and my return flight to Vancouver.

The ash cloud is creating a bit of an issue in the UK right now, most recent story:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8685913.stm

I am confident that the airlines I've chosen will accommodate any flight delays with no extra charges. but it's the time waits that I'm concerned about.

I don't plan to venture out of the airport between flights, but I'm thinking now, it might be a good idea to have a few contacts from people in and around the London/Gatwick area just in case.

If you're willing to be a contact for this nervous (albeit excited) traveller who may/may not get stranded in London between flights, please PM me. And yes, while I have contacts in mind already, I'm just too shy to ask you directly.

Thanks,

They do sandwiches and cakes, coffee and tea upstairs and you can take the food down.
Nice atmosphere, no loud music - you can talk and sit in big comfy couches.
beer prices reasonable

so far there are about 15 people coming but suspect that will pick up by the time the event comes around. They are *really* friendly (as one of them is ME) and talkative and laid back. It's always a good time, it's the 3rd meet of this early evening soiree, giving people enough time to go out to their sat night disco afterwards.

Hope to see you there - IM if you have any questions or need a hand-hold
