Thank you in advance

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

oh we just didn't get your sense of humour - is that it?

yawn.

Lepetitmarsellais · 01/05/2017 23:44

Actually anybody who thought the CV comment was serious I wouldn't really expect to understand how the world works.

Lepetitmarsellais · 01/05/2017 23:43

Read the thread Pallisers. I don't throw CVs in the bin and I'm not racist either.

Lepetitmarsellais · 01/05/2017 23:42

Some extremely naive people on here who really don't seem to understand how the world works

But the irony is I bet your children all have very MC names that won't hold them back

Pallisers · 01/05/2017 23:41

My guess is you'd have binned a cv with the name Barack Obama on it too :) :)

But maybe you'd be fine with that.

Pallisers · 01/05/2017 23:40

Actually I do work in recruitment and any CVs where the name begins with a J or a K goes straight in the bin.

I'd say you are a pretty poor recruiter if you bin possible excellent candidates without even looking at their cvs - based on a chapter you read once in a Malcolm Gladwell book or maybe it was Reader's Digest. Not a recruiter I'd hire, no matter what your first name.

Sienna is pretty.

forfuckssakenet · 01/05/2017 23:39

Okay so now you're being deliberately obtuse.

Are you for real?

Lepetitmarsellais · 01/05/2017 23:38

Well, I was using the word about a NAME. Not about a person.

Have I harmed the name Sienna? Is it feeling as offended as you I wonder?

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 01/05/2017 23:37

'I do maintain however that names are judged in life, like it or not. So as a parent I felt a responsibility to ensure that didn't happen to my child.'

You were guarding your kid against people like their own mother.

forfuckssakenet · 01/05/2017 23:36

And I think you need to educate yourself full stop.

forfuckssakenet · 01/05/2017 23:36

Oh my actual god!

It's the language you're using. It's the using the word chavvy as if it's okay to do so! As if it's a harmless wee word.

Lepetitmarsellais · 01/05/2017 23:34

I think you need to educate yourself on what discrimination actually means tbh.

Lepetitmarsellais · 01/05/2017 23:33

I'm discriminating against an unborn child on an anonymous Internet forum? Okay.

forfuckssakenet · 01/05/2017 23:31

Sorry OP fwiw I like the name!

forfuckssakenet · 01/05/2017 23:31

You are engaging in discriminatory behaviour by using the word chav or chavvy.

DramaAlpaca · 01/05/2017 23:29

I think Lepetit was joking - at least I hope she was.

Poor OP, she hasn't been back. I wonder if she realises her thread has caused a bit of a bunfight.

Lepetitmarsellais · 01/05/2017 23:29

Obviously I don't work in recruitment and throw CVs in the bin

buttercup54321 · 01/05/2017 23:28

I know a Ciena

Lepetitmarsellais · 01/05/2017 23:28

I'm not anti working class at all. I believe in equal opportunities for all and a state that will always support those who need it.

I can hold those ideals and still associate certain names with a particular class, be that Jayden or Ptolemy. It does not follow that I am discriminating against anybody myself.

I do maintain however that names are judged in life, like it or not. So as a parent I felt a responsibility to ensure that didn't happen to my child.

I'm just being honest.

'Actually I do work in recruitment and any CVs where the name begins with a J or a K goes straight in the bin'

Ugh, ugh, ugh. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. You should be ashamed.

RainbowJack · 01/05/2017 23:23

Actually I do work in recruitment and any CVs where the name begins with a J or a K goes straight in the bin.

I imagine people who engage in this behaviour also bin CVs with names like Mohammed and Darnell.

MyWhatICallNameChange · 01/05/2017 23:21

I'm from Horsham and I've never heard the word chavvy used as MsGrinch uses it. Hmm

It's always used as a derogatory term e.g People from Crawley are really chavvy.

Anyway, Sienna is a pretty name.

But then You should ignore me as my son has a chavvy name, and will never be a high court judge. Sad😭

forfuckssakenet · 01/05/2017 23:20

😂

Jeeso. I've heard it all now.

A fully paid up member of the Labour Party who is anti working class 😂😂😂

It's definitely true about labour's identity crisis.

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 01/05/2017 23:19

'So are we now making ASSUMPTIONS on how other posters vote?

Sorry to disappoint. Fully paid up member of the Labour Party actually.'

You have nailed your prejudices to the mast, it's irrelevant which party you belong to.

forfuckssakenet · 01/05/2017 23:16

Sad.

I see why the Tories do what they do.
