Sooooo... in my ‘if Mumsnet was a diagram’ (taking only a few minutes to draw and even less time to think about.)

There’d be a parking war between Morison’s, Ocado & Sainsbury’s delivery vans on LTB Street.

There’d be a quiet, warm and inviting 24hrs bookshop, 24hrs Costa Coffee for a lively chat and a really elaborate wedding shop.

The radical exclusionary feminists, across the road at number 10, wouldn’t be willing to share the toilet with EricA yet again so they’d all be kicking off.

A prep school for children aged 3 + (put you name down at birth or attend the local comp with better results.)

How about you?

Lots I’ve probably forgotten but first things that sprang to mind.

((((Hope to make you smile))))

Don't forget the communal Dettol bath for all those cheerful skanks who have slept with slebs with questionable hygiene.

DuggeesWooOOooggle · 08/01/2019 17:28

The children's part of the Boden store only needs to stock clothes in long slim sizes as all MNers children (especially the teens) are extremely tall and slim to the point of being underweight.

The food shop needs to have extra stocks of Weetabix for all said skinny teens to fill up on. And tennis courts, swimming pools, rivers (for rowing) etc for all the sports said teens do multiple times a week.

SilverLlama · 08/01/2019 17:48

There’d be a river of sweetcorn, and all the ducks will be sitting in a row.

BBInGinDrinking · 08/01/2019 18:01

I would like to expand our exclusion zone to drivers of unnecessary large Chelsea Tractors. There would be an out of MNVille very muddy and potholed exorbitantly expensive car park for them, and they would then have to WALK for more than half a dozen steps into our town.

BBInGinDrinking · 08/01/2019 18:04

The car park attendant would also helpfully spray said pristine vehicles with a joyous mixture of pig, chicken and cow muck ready for their return.

OdeToDiazepam · 08/01/2019 18:07

Are there any of those wicker hearts in the windows op? I wouldn't want to stumble across any whispers swingers Shock

snozzlemaid · 08/01/2019 18:11

There would have to be a classroom where anatomy was taught. In particular female genitals - it's vulva not vagina!!

LuckyLou7 · 08/01/2019 18:17

There would have to be a classroom where anatomy was taught. In particular female genitals - it's vulva not vagina!!

And that woman pass urine and menstruate from two separate openings. I am still in Shock at the poster who didn't realise the urethra and the vagina were separate, even after having a baby.

notthegreatestdancer · 08/01/2019 19:24

Is there a Magistrates or Crown Court ? No barrister or judge wigs just judgey pants for the bench.

The bench can sit in judgement and be judgemental 😂

Any one found guilty can flounce and be sent to flouncers corner.

On appeal they must trudge up to MN Towers which sits on a hill over looking the town.

Did we forget the chip shop, where you can only carry food out on your shoulder.......

StayAChild · 09/01/2019 10:13

Great work BobbyGentry.
Thank you for confirming my volunteer appointment at the food shelter. Could everyone please drop by with your unwanted MIL gifts, 3 for 2 Boots gifts and Cadburys or Hotel Chocolat unwanted offerings.

Could I reserve a plot on the proposed new build properties on Procrastination Lane please. I hear the properties will have dedicated MN screens in every room as well as being completely self cleaning. 'Change your sheets and towels everyday' sorts need not apply. Smile

Mooey89 · 09/01/2019 10:29

Where can I buy my penis beaker from and is there a centre parcs for Anal sex?

Well done Bobby! Best thread in many a long year.

WrapAndRoll · 09/01/2019 13:53

Ooh, anyone else going to Fat Battlers this afternoon?

Bluetrews25 · 09/01/2019 14:35

The town flag or emblem on the mayoral badge would have to be a nest of vipers curled up inside the MN scarf. A bit Harry Potter-esque.
On the outskirts of town we need to have all the allotments, over the top of the (underground) preppers' bunkers / recycled air raid shelters, all of which contain 6 years supply of toilet roll, zoflora, lentils and rice. And the tinfoil hats.

Bluetrews25 · 09/01/2019 14:39

And, of course, the mayor is @JustineMumsnet. Grin

pineapplebryanbrown · 09/01/2019 21:34

Can anyone explain the references to cutted up pear please?

Bagadverts · 09/01/2019 22:21

This is brilliant. Nominate for classics. Thank you

Inside the court there can be a counter for submission of baby names for scrutiny.

Is there a newbies corner - sorry if I’ve missed it? - I’ve never visited but maybe a place to welcome anyone moving in, give them a diagram of the area, free zoflora as a welcome gift and confiscate/give out toilet brushes, depending on who is around at the time.

(Hi, this is Bobby Gentry the Younger writing, Bobby Gentry the Elder’s offspring) It is with heartfelt sadness, that I announce that BobbyGentry the Elder passed quietly and peacefully in her sleep, whilst clutching an unfinished diagram in her hands, after being stabbed several times by her boss for not doing any work over the last few days. The police have no concerns and see no need to bother the family further. They feel it is not necessaryto pursue matters further. It’s good to know that Bobby Gentry the Elders had a satisfactory smile on her face. She would have wanted to have thanked all the posters who contributed to this post but alas is unable to due to the fact that she in in fact now deaded. May her memory live on in a few scratched out diagrammatic scrawlings.)

If you’d like to draw your own diagrams then please have a go and enjoy the mumsnet iconoclastic traditions.
