OLDERFLAMES" IS NOT FOR THE ROCKING CHAIR SET

New website for the "lively" older set.

Companionship does not fade; it ripens with age and deepens with experience.

This is the philosophy behind OlderFlames (www.olderflames.com)

What OlderFlames does NOT offer is advice on pensions, wills, bereavements and the like.

OlderFlames is very much for the lively living," says co-founder Nick Clarke. It is not intended for the rocking chair set.

OlderFlames allows people to share interests by exchanging messages through discussion boards, and if they wish to then make direct contact to arrange personal meetings.

OlderFlames is a place for the more mature of us to meet," says Clarke. It is where people will be able to find someone with their own interests with whom they might like to share precious time together, or merely to share mutual interests."

Guestbooks also allow visitors and members to have their say about just about everything - they can ask for information, offer thoughts on subjects already raised, or simply chat openly online.

Topics listed include:

Attractions
Clubs
Cinema
Entertainment
Health
Leisure
Outdoors
Shopping
Theatre
Travel/Tourism

So far more than 80 towns and cities across the United Kingdom have been identified and listed on the site. But if anyone wants to add another, they can do so.

Clarke stresses: We play no part in any personal contacts - that is entirely the choice of people using the site."

He says: We at OlderFlames consider the interests of our users as our interests.
That is why we have formally advised the Metropolitan Police of this service so that they know who is saying what to whom at all times."

The care they have taken means:
- Only Usernames are published. Full names are not used.
- Only e-mail and/or Post Office Box numbers are published. Home or work addresses are not accepted.
- Telephone numbers are not published..

Our advice to all our users is simple," says Clarke.
