Yep. If I remember correctly, one of my uncles is one.

Why do you ask? Just wondering.

My dad's a pretty high up Craft Lodge Mason in Central London, it is NOTHING exciting. If you want thrills, join the Knights Templar.

Do they really have a secret handshake?

If they had a secret handshake and said "hey, we have a secret handshake" then it would, at best, be a semi-secret handshake. While you may not know the specifics you still know it exists.

My grandfather was a freemason. The family held a masonic funeral for him, very odd.

Yus, and I can do it 8)

My dad's trying to get me into it, as there's a women's chapter, but I'd rather join the South London Land Rover Club...
