What makes you immediately think 'Mumsnetter' ??

[PlaymobilPirate]

I was watching Dinner Date this morning and the girl on it served up on Emma Bridgewater plates and bowls.

The dresser behind her had loads of Emma Bridgewater cups on too. She was young so assume still living at home.

My first thought was "bet her Mum is a Mumsnetter"

When I was in the postnatal ward after having dd the woman in the bay next to mine had called her baby Ottilie. She already had a dd called Isanthe. She and her dh sounded v posh. I guessed that she was a mnetter.

I did pop my shopping divider on length ways in Newquay Lidl as the impatient man child behind me in the queue was trying to shove his shite on the belt before I finished unloading my trolley. Met a fellow Mumsnetter who was at till No 1. Halcyon Days !

When someone says 'Fanjo'

What is the thing with pom bears?? I need to know please!

Pom bears are the only acceptable crisps. If you go round someones house who has them you may be at a mumsnetters house.

The Pom Bear mythology is a bit convoluted. About 10 years ago, the whole site tripped up over itself because MNers galore really really wanted to take the piss out of a snack shaped like a bear but shock! They discovered they weren't as full of shit as Monster Munch and big standard crisps.
It was very traumatic for all and the pisstakers are probably still in therapy

I agree that a lot of the things mentioned on this thread are just references to old long running sagas or things MNers take the piss out of, rather than things that they do, or that you'd come across The "mummy's going to put the Quinoa in the bag now" rubbish is just what MNers think performance parents do It's not what MNers do. We're more likely to have a bag of Monster Munch and a sausage roll

It's odd but despite being on here most days for nearly 15 years, if I come across someone in real life with a whiff of mumsnet about them, I avoid them like the plague. We are not my type

Me too

Really? I thought it was because of a thread that's in classics?

Weren't the pom bears also used as a starter at the dinner party where they were served a can of soup by the rich people? (Classics) Or have I confused that with the menu the OP was advised to serve them back?

Exactly -- someone went to what they thought was going to be a dinner party and were served pom bears? I think? I was here at the time but it's all a bit vague now. Will go and refresh my memory.

Ah, I had slightly misremembered.

AIBU to think this couple are bonkers?

OP and her DH went to formally-presented (posh crockery etc.) dinner at acquaintances' house and were served tinned tomato soup, macaroni cheese (not baked) and Neapolitan ice cream. Plus strange giggling and bottom-pinching from hosts. Popular MN theory was that they were swimmers and various menu suggestions were thrown out for the return invitation, of which only Pom Bears seemed to catch on in an enduring manner.

*swingers.

Although they may also have been swimmers.

Thanks! Excuse me whilst I read the other thread

People being absolutely livid on other people's behalf for minor annoyances, and spitting out various beverages upon hearing a mildly amusing joke.

My life is complete now. As a relative newbie I think demanding a diagram is a defining characteristic

Asking 'am I unreasonable ' on another social media platform or IRL. Saying someone is entitled or a cheeky fucker.

Monkey brand? What monkey brand?

Aye, that's the Pom Bear thread.
Rereading it, hilarious though it is, I don't actually believe a word of it now, but it was funny at the time.
The thread came after another one, prob in chat as I can't find it now, where posters were taking the piss out of pom bears (I imagine that's why the dinner party guest decided to include them)

A colleague emailed about the lunch order (not THAT lunch order!). She suggested a certain sandwich shop as they served 'naice ham'. Obviously, my reply was 'YANBU'

As someone else mentioned Boden/ joules clad mum and child

Also middle class messy haired kids , especially boys. I'd bet their mums are mumsnetters.

People who squeal with glee when they find other peoples shopping lists.
