How Mumsnet ruined a Saturday ritual for me......

A tongue in cheek title Wink

I head out to the market pretty early on a Saturday, get the weekend groceries and the Saturday Times, along with the one of the finest brownies in the south west of England (and probably the world).
Once I have got Saturday night dinner on the go I like to sit in the kitchen and read the paper with a glass of wine.
Unfortunately, before I had even finished my glass, the paper got thrown across the room, because in the first ten minutes I had come across three articles that either used ‘gender’ when they clearly meant sex, or used ‘people’ or ‘children’ when they clearly meant women or girls.
I shall email them tomorrow (it won’t be the first time) but in the meantime, why can’t I have anything nice anymore!?

This board taught me that some people are really not nice and that it’s a dog eat dog world out there!

I find that lots of wine helps.

I can relate to that! This board has been responsible for killing the joy in many of the things I used to enjoy Grin

Sorry Snippy. All leave is cancelled until we've sorted this mess out.
