Help re Facebook - COMPLETED Thanks
« on: Sunday 20 February 11 14:25 GMT (UK) »
I know nothing about this site, only the horror stories from family members & friends.

However, their is a "thread" on there that I would love to visit (Walworth Now and Then) but do not know enough about how much data on yourself you have to give.

Can someone please advise me on this, especially as I am not looking at making or finding "friends" on there.

UPDATE:  Never thought of that!!  far too simples ;)  Will give it a try.
