What is the M&S troll about?

I've seen the water troll, one about weird underground creatures, but not the M&S troll. I need to know!

Sparklingbrook · 03/11/2022 19:57

I may have jokingly said 'not seen the plimsoll troll for a while' or similar yesterday. May have been my fault.

It's been difficult to find a real thread this evening...

Teenagequeenwithaloadedgun · 03/11/2022 19:59

The M&S troll is my favourite, I wish her threads would stay up. They're so random.

Sparklingbrook · 03/11/2022 20:00

M&S and Water troll (prob the same person) are tedious in the extreme.

Macaroni1924 · 03/11/2022 20:01

Sometimes these are the only decent threads and I end up annoyed when half way through they get deleted or worse if I’ve missed them altogether!

SO224350 · 03/11/2022 20:04

What about the teenager hitting the small foster child? I never thought that was fake !

OneFootintheRave · 03/11/2022 20:19

One of the famous (non weirdo/pervy) trolls should do an AMA. Like the M&S troll. Wonder how long it would last?

Sparklingbrook · 03/11/2022 20:26

An AMA with the water troll Grin Loads of 'why do you bother?' posts.

Oh, oh... was it the plimsoll troll? They made a brief appearance earlier today!

Is this the same plimsoll troll who used to frequent another forum? I’m invested!

ofwarren · 03/11/2022 20:29

I was so shocked there is a plimsoll troll!
There is a troll for everything on here

Useitorloseit · 03/11/2022 20:31

I read the plimsol trolls thread earlier and couldn't believe there was such a troll! Sure this is peak mumsnet weirdness?

Yeah they’re definitely the same person! I was just coming along to comment that

I’ve been on MN for years and have never encountered the Plimsoll troll.

What do they post- “hello, I think my 14 year old daughter’s Plimsolls are too tight, can you show me your teenage daughter in hers?” ?

hobbledyhoy · 03/11/2022 20:37

I hear people talking about the Water Troll a lot, I've never seen any of these threads, what is it they are trolling about? I'm intrigued

DoubleBuggyDriver · 03/11/2022 20:39

The water troll believes things like we’re being poisoned by the water we consume and they always have conspiracies that have to do with waters/lakes etc. I genuinely find them quite interesting as I really feel like they believe what they’re saying! I’m sure there’s more too them but I usually miss their threads

AcrossthePond55 · 03/11/2022 20:39

Fake American troll??? Really? That I'd LOVE to read.

I wonder if I'd realize they were fake. It's a pretty big country and if someone posted 'thus and so is normal in America', I'd probably figure they were in a different area of the country than me.

BOOooOOooOObsOnTheMoon · 03/11/2022 20:40

The Plimsoll Troll! Were they the same troll as the Tights Troll of old? I have a vague feeling they were. Lots of talk of teenage girls in plimsolls and ripped tights Hmm

Generally a picture of some black plimsolls and being all wide eyed and innocent asking if they're suitable for school. That's literally it. Once they veered into Ugg boots with the same question and the picture posted was of some really well worn filthy Ugg boots. Absolutely bonkers, no request for pictures from other posters.

Ah ok thanks, the 5G conspiracy for lakes then...

I don't get what people get out of doing those threads?

Infamy

ShowOfHands · 03/11/2022 20:44

I saw the boxroom troll a couple of months ago. And the tights troll.

There was a baby names troll for a v long time. They liked names ending in -lyn in particular. And a children's clothes troll who posted very bland threads but was peculiarly recognisable and favoured the same three brands.

BeagIes · 03/11/2022 20:44

How do they know if it’s by a PBP?

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 03/11/2022 20:44

I quite like the water troll , I especially enjoyed the one about crabs 🦀

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 03/11/2022 20:45

Oh and the food down the toilet/worms in the sewer one
