I'm a member of a Facebook group about my old village. You know the sort of thing, Happyville Past and Present etc.
There are two people who post prolifically on there. One puts post after post of wildlife on there. Birds, butterflies, pictures of sunsets and now he's started with pictures of people's dogs.
The other guy just gets random bits of stuff from the internet. Pictures of old singers, miners, old jokes. Not specific to the village at all. He posts exactly the same stuff on at least two other village sites.
The thing is - neither of them live in my old village. In fact they have never lived there, ever.
So why do they post on there? Especially, why do they post so much on there?
To me, it's nuts.
The internet seems to give a platform for people who are obsessed with things, and they are going to shar their obsessions with others whether they like it or not!
It is barmy though. I wouldn't join a group called Nutsville Nostalgia if I'd never lived there, I mean why would you?
