Guess the dicks have figured out which biological sex that makes most household shopping decisions.

Ooh can you post it here please? Or bump on the main board?

I'll try to find it!

Thanks for the info on Lloyd’s @senua and @Mirabai. I’ve banked with them for 35 years. No more, who the hell do they think they are. This woman will be taking her business elsewhere on Tuesday, they can get in the bin. I will certainly tell them why.

Next question, can anyone recommend any alternative UK banks that aren’t misogynistic arseholes? Barclays clearly not an option!

Have not noticed any issues with Nationwide, and they used to have an offer of £100 to swap current accounts, not sure if it's still the case.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer organisation.
Who looks hateful now?
Will never order from them again

I think they have noted the downward spike and cancellations.

The apology was just mentioned on the news on R2!!

Ages ago I started a thread to list all those companies using the word Woman where others feared to. Not supermarkets though.

Is there a thread for approved GC suppliers?

@Serencwtch love your user name!

This was in 2010. Maybe it was a small Waitrose? Would they have had Ocado products?

I feel like I have created my very own Mandela effect here!
( Something that I am absolutely convinced happened but can't be true 😂).

Maybe it was just Jesus in the Cabbage Van.

Ocado have not just acted like so many other companies though.

They actually pulled out of an advertising agreement with MN over this issue. That is not the same at all as merely being careful and fearful with their tweets or online presence, it was actively accusing MN of 'hateful political views'.

I have cancelled my membership and I have been with them for over 15 years. I am furious with them.

Lloyds have pledged solitarily with its trans staff during “this tough time”. I noted they do not pledge the same for their female staff.

I have literally just opened a Lloyds credit card account this week I’m going to bin in favour of my other option.

Yes literally not one fuck given about the Women they employee or their customers.

Mirabai · 18/04/2025 22:17

BlakeCarrington · 18/04/2025 20:48

Never used Ocado and glad I haven’t. But I notice a few pp’s have mentioned Lloyd’s upthread. I’m not up to date on their stance since the SC ruling - would anyone mind giving me a quick summary pls? I’m a long-standing customer of theirs and am very willing to take my lady money elsewhere if they think they can ignore the judgement.

I live near a large Ocado facility and know how many people rely on the company for work in the local area and I have, and will, continue to use them. I would not boycott for an ivory tower corporate communication, as Ocado have acted like so many other companies, organisations, our government, NHS.... by protecting their backsides and being frightened to offend for fear of being on the wrong side of a small area's fence! I'm more concerned as to why common sense in our society, as to how people share space, feel safe and have functioned for decades if not centuries, seems to have been overtaken by a few, in a relatively short period of time and ended up in frightening people. Having worked with those who've experienced domestic and sexual violence, single sex spaces are vital now and in the future.

Morrisons have never let me down with woke bollocks
Ours have been captured by the rainbow brigade. Don't know if it's a local decision. I seldom shop there (only some of DH's gluten free stuff).

Oh no, really? Who’s left? I briefly used Sainsbury’s but there was some issue with gender stuff and loos. Tesco are captured too. Do I need to start shopping in person at aldi?

Until the come and grovel at Justine’s feet and pay MN

It's not just that though is it. They need to apologise to women for describing views that are - thank god- common sense and have been ruled lawful - as "hateful". It's very anti-freedom of expression as well and unnecessary.

The whole thing is bizarre really and a very sad reflection on the mad position society has got into.

I mean imagine going back in time 100 years and explaining all of this to Queen Victoria or Emmeline Pankhurst or your own deceased great grannies, grannies. I don't think they'd believe a word of it because it's so out there.

To be fair I think they would keel over again when they saw their prices….

but yes internet, lorries, goods planes, sheer variety of produce etc. A lot to take in. No wonder humans are stressed.

I got temporarily giddy that I could go back to them, was a loyal customer of ten years, spending over £10k pa and on their monthly freebies testing list. 2018 was my FWR awakening (because of ocado and that fucking billboard). Morrisons get to keep me, then! Easy decision. Wankers (ocado, not Morrisons. Morrisons have never let me down with woke bollocks).
For anyone that wasn’t around then, loads of MN Ocado customers cancelled their accounts and they telephoned us all but refused to tweet an apology. I said I needed it to be on social media as the original incident had been, for me to not cancel. I didn’t realise the USA link but all falling into place now…

"Thought I would come on here today with a note of support for our trans and non-binary colleagues on what I know will be an unsettling day following the UK Supreme Court decision," he wrote on Lloyds's Rainbow network.

I doubt it. Waitrose weren’t happy about Ocado putting their own lines in
