Thanks for the responses people, it's good to know I'm not just a complete misanthrope!

I do in fact have a Facebook account, but that was set up mainly to keep in touch with my daughter who works in London. (However she now seems to have lost interest in FB and has gone back to emailing and texting) I've put the absolute minimum of personal information on there, my photo's a silhouette, only "friends" (who are in single figures) can see any info, and they're all real friends anyway so they all already know the information! All the notifications are turned off, so the only time Facebook impinges on my life is when I occasionally choose to look at it.

Twitter is useful when my Rugby team is playing away, as someone will be sure to tweet the ongoing state of play. Otherwise I haven't found a use for it.

As I said, this isn't intended as a criticism of those who do enjoy these things, I just don't know how they can spare the time.

I can't and I'm retired!
