I was on the tube yesterday standing up and a women was sitting beside me looking at some papers and making notes. The papers had a Mumsnet heading but didn't seem to be a printout from Mumsnet IYSWIM. They looked like the results of a survey or a list of statistics. Saw 'currently employed' and 'newcomers'. AIBU unreasonable to have been curious and quite excited to have spotted this. What does everyone think she was up to?

A spy. My money is on her being employed by M15 or something. Which part of London was it?

MissMashMissMash · 07/12/2010 11:45

Just outside of Holburn IIRC

Could she have been an employee looking at the site statistics - doing a bit of research. You get asked some standard questions when you join MN and she was probably a researcher looking at the stats. that's my guess anyway. Or a female James (Janet?) Bond, spy lady?

thenightsky · 07/12/2010 11:49

She is spy for Netmums

llareggub · 07/12/2010 11:50

I'm betting on this

AnyFuleSno · 07/12/2010 11:51

Ooh interesting. Any comment from MNTowers?

Unrulysun · 07/12/2010 11:53

On her way to an interview?

Making a final decision on parking places?

Doigthebountyeater · 07/12/2010 12:53

It is a wikileak!

CristinaTheAstonishing · 07/12/2010 12:54

Or a mummyleak.

EdgarAllenSnow · 07/12/2010 12:59

mummyleak says something rather different to me

noting white circles on vest

CristinaTheAstonishing · 07/12/2010 13:01

How long does your vest go?

blackeyedsusan · 07/12/2010 13:02

Isn't a mummyleak what you get if you laugh or cough after having children?

Silver1 · 07/12/2010 13:04

I thought a mummyleak was poor bladder control

caramelwaffle · 07/12/2010 13:05

QuintessentialShadows · 07/12/2010 13:23

It must have been Kate Middleton

MissMashMissMash · 07/12/2010 13:24

Quite short (I think though she was sitting down so a bit tricky to tell). Short blonde hair, a hat and wrapped up warm in black and grey I think. I would make a rubbish witness to a crime!
