Waitrose???

Anybody else get a certain email this morning about digital billboards going up today? Looks like it's Waitrose. They're not daft are they?! Ocado's loss is their gain and I'm sure this will help encourage it further. If I was richer I'd shop there.

Searched for Waitrose on twitter and this was one of the only things that seemed relevant (but it's still unclear what the link to waitrose is tbh)

If you mean that someone is identifying as a woman who you don’t thonk should be called a women’s, so are defining woman as an adult human female, people will just identify as adult human females.

It’s just words.

legofriendly · 19/10/2018 13:22

The billboard doesn’t say anything though. A woman is an adult human female. And?

SPOFS · 19/10/2018 13:17

I have no idea what this thread is about? Can someone explain from the beginning?

What is the Waitrose news? I love Waitrose and would be sad if I had to boycott them because of their misogyny.

Transwomen are not women.

Women do not have penises.

Women are adult human females.

And fuck off, Ocado. And take Jeremy Corbyn, the Greens, the LibDems and Wee Owen with you.

New billboard in Leeds, but what does this have to do with Waitrose?

I hope it's something good and not just advertising mince pies!

legofriendly · 19/10/2018 13:01

What is this about? Confused

Mumfun · 19/10/2018 12:58

I now know what it was like the Suffragettes waiting for Mrs Pankhurst to speak

IKeepFlouncing · 19/10/2018 12:53

Twitter, Leeds have new poster Grin

This is like waiting for 🎅 as a kid

GatheringHerBrows · 19/10/2018 12:30

I keep checking her FB page too.

She said on her FB live last night that something would be happening in 2x cities today, and also about the MP's women postcards.

EverardDigby · 19/10/2018 12:24

I also have no idea what this is about but I agree Posie is fab!

misscockerspaniel · 19/10/2018 12:01

Don't keep us in suspense!

Posie rocks

Gah, she's keeping us waiting! 650 postcards have gone to MPs today too. Keep at it Posie, she's got some guts.

Eh Confused What's going on?

thefatladyscreams · 19/10/2018 11:47

Have switched to Waitrose from Ocado and been impressed (except for the clunky app). Waiting with baited breath...

Needmoresleep · 19/10/2018 11:42

Doesn't Ocado deliver for Waitrose?

Yes but Waitrose also deliver so people have been switching.

Labradoodliedoodoo · 19/10/2018 11:39

What will the digital billboards say?

Janie143 · 19/10/2018 11:38

Doesn't Ocado deliver for Waitrose?

CriticalCondition · 19/10/2018 11:33

Ooh.

Any idea when?

We could do some flash mob shopping in our AHF t-shirts and totes.

MrsSnippyPants · 19/10/2018 11:17

I have no idea what is going on but I am following with interest. There are only two supermarkets in my town that I can access without a car and one of them is Waitrose.

Needmoresleep · 19/10/2018 11:05

I was worried for a minute. I did not use Ocado, and would certainly not now, and have never liked Tesco much. (Our local inner city one only sells crap food and sweets anyway - you need to a more middle class area to buy nutrients.) M&S clothes give me the creeps, I am old but not that middle-aged, so I don't use their changing rooms but struggle with the amount of plastic packaging they use. I was down to Waitrose, Lidl, and local shops/market.

Losing Waitrose would have been a loss. Waitrose, Birdseye fish fingers and I will survive. As long as Simon on the fruitstall does not get diversity training from Stonewall, or Lidl suddenly decides that gender means more than der, die das. (Actually three genders is just fine.)

Saucery · 19/10/2018 11:04

I shop there. They’d better not let me down, I don’twant to have to find another supermarket!
