If the kids are (re)united

[venta]

Every month or so I get an email from Friends Reunited which says:

"Why not add yourself to these places?

• Hummersknott School

"

Er... because I didn't go to Hummersknott? Because I've already told it exactly which secondary school I did go to between the ages of 11-18?

Stupid bloody thing.

You've all[*] remembered the clocks went back, right ?

[*] For UK-based definititions of 'all'.

FR is apparently obsessed with my adding myself to a college in Nottinghamshire that one person I used to work with went to... can't understand that at all.

I get a whole bunch of similar prompts. I think their prompting engine needs a kick in the algorithms ...

Painful!

The places offered to me include my wife's school - I haven't figured out why, but I suspect the same 'logic' is at at play.

I closed down my FR account some time ago, as it appears to be totally pointless...

Observing that the people you're reunited with may not be friends, as such...

Who would want to go to a school called 'Hummersknott'?

Also, that explains my vague feelings of disconnectedness all day (as some of my clocks automatically update and some don't).

I, too, gave up on FR when I registered for a school in Hartford, Cambs (nee Huntingdonshire) and it insisted I went on the list for Hartford, Cheshire. Hummersknott - nee Darlington High School for Girls when we had wicked old grammar schools.
