A little village between Crewe and Chester.

Are we explicitly banned from mentioning it? The Special Rules do not display on the app.

The link to the Special Rules for Unruly Women has disappeared from the web version of this Board too.

Yet another Elephant Trap for the unwary. Very unfair on new members, who will be unaware of the existence of the Special Rules for Policing Women's Speech.

There is a link buried and therefore easily overlooked in the "Talk Guidelines".

As can be seen from the URL, this is one of those "Trans Rights" that merits a tick in the check-box on the "To Do" list:

"Mumsnet moderation principles for discussions around gender identity and sex"
Mumsnet will always stand in solidarity with vulnerable or oppressed minorities.

No idea what you're on about but it has a pub called The Yew Tree that does a gorgeous fish sharing platter and a lovely veggie burger. I think I'll pop in for lunch during half term. Thanks for the reminder.

There are threads about the fictional village Badley Fuckitt still knocking around somewhere on FWR, but with the recent upgrade breaking advanced search it might as well be one of those lost Mayan temples.

Well... you can just use a normal search engine, you know, especially for a distinctive name.

Named after an Anglo Saxon tribe rather than the hills apparently.

Oldham Mumps.

I have no clue.

Dunno about blue but there is a dark type of hill and a while type of hill in them their hills.

Yeah, two types of peak.

If Bunbury has become too contentious, perhaps we should try Basingstoke instead? (That's a Gilbert&Sullivan reference denoting dull respectability)

'In the era of the English Civil War and on the date of 23 December 1642 some of the prominent gentlemen of Cheshire met in B. and drew up the B. Agreement. The terms of the agreement were intended to keep Cheshire neutral during the English Civil War. It proved to be a forlorn hope because the national strategic importance of Cheshire and the city port of Chester meant that national interests overruled local ones.'

and it can mean we end up going round in circles. This is why the Overground Loop set of additional rules was introduced in around 1996, I believe.

MagnoliaTaint · 26/05/2022 11:51

I'm actually playing the Glasgow rules, Mayor. Which are, of course, running like clockwork as usual.

MayorDusty · 26/05/2022 11:45

You need to be fluent in rhubarb and the London underground for Mornington.
It's yet another over invested Southerncentric weapon to destabilise northerners.
I propose we investigate the possibilities of a New Levelling Up scheme to be more inclusive and ask for suggestions on names and recognisable image for said levelled inclusive scheme.
With bank holidays off.

Sniggering triggers a reverse. You'll need to retrace your steps, I think, and try again from around Tuesday afternoon

see! See! 😩

'What is the deal with the Mornington Crescent thing? I've never quite got it.'

There is no deal. Its all entirely random, thats the joke.

Silly really but it makes me snigger.

Ah. See, that's where you're going wrong.

I suppose cos saying that implies that the poster is not posting in good faith and thats not in the spirit of mumsnet

i think we should just run round yelling ITS A TRAP

We could just post this.

A thread on the place which must not be named, shame on you!

Eh. I'd take a Bakewell Pudding over a Banbury any day - but I'd walk it off in them their hills nearby though.

Yes, those blue hills.

(If I have remembered them correctly.)
