What's the deal with the post cards?


The post cards are simply another way of posting your 'dilemmas' on Grapple, and for people to comment on them. If you have come across a post card, simply write your dilemma in the white field on the front (using a felt-tip pen if possible), if you feel like it decorate it, and then stick it in a post box.

We will then scan your post card in and upload it to Grapple (you will remain anonymous), where people can then help you by commenting on your dilemma.

See Gilbert Grapple's blog post for more info...
