I was in London yesterday and disappointed that I didn't bump into Paddington.

He did however leave this message, which made me think of 'us' here on the forum.

I love this message!

Me too and I think it's worth bearing in mind if anyone here thinks that they don't 'fit in'.

So, I'd rather see this in terms of each of us being a differently shaped piece of a jigsaw which when all fitted together makes the image of the forum

Beautiful words!

I hear you.....and accordingly now have a mental image of little jigsaw pieces, all with little legs, all scurrying off these days?!

"can" is very different to "does" though, don't you think?

I "can" fit in to many places/situations, if I must (ie adhere to the imposed norms of that place/situation).....but that is not the same as feeling that one "does" fit in to most places/situations.

I reckon people come here hoping that they "do" fit in, rather than being content to know that they "can" fit in?

I'm not terribly keen on cliques/tribes and don't (want to)  fit into human ones.

Sorry to be a pedant about it.........but as you know, I do seem to get triggered by "advertisements" of any description.  My bad.
