How did I recognise a fellow Mumsnetter while in Spain?

I met a mumsnetter in Spain... How did I recognise her? (Just for fun, but I did meet one of us in the wild and there was a recognising factor).

Did you see her passport under the name "Angela Hernandez"?

I literally just went to Aldi (not mumsnetty) and you all got on board. She was utterly lovely and she was wearing the B word!!! 😂

Yes.... but did she recognise you as a MNetter and if so, what gave the game away?

Was she looking for the fly seat on the airport transfer bus? Y’know, THE FLY SEAT.

You spotted her at the villa next door; her capsule wardrobe of quality neutrals caught your eye. She was consulting her meal plan for the week whilst hubby was 'doing his bit' with the kids.

Did she look like Suzi Quatros fat nan?

I think they met on the plane when the fellow MN refused to give up her seat so that another passenger, who hadn’t booked specific seats could sit with her 16 year old twins one of whom was anxious.

She was telling her stepdaughter not to eat too much fruit? (Because it is too much sugar....)

MidnightMusing5 · 11/05/2026 19:45

Referred to her daughter as “Dd”?

(I had done this in public - I’ve called my daughter DD instead of her name 😂

Snap and fart is from a thread where a woman with IBS had a fallout with a boyfriend 🤣

The Sistine Chapel refers to a sensitive poster who was so emotionally overcome when she saw the Sistine Chapel that she screamed out loud in a form of hysterical but at the same time spiritual ecstasy.

Thank you, I can imagine it now 😂

She peered over your shoulder at the breakfast buffet and said “how ODD” at your choice

Oh my goodness that's brilliant

I love this thread!

It's obviously Boden. But, OP, did you whisper "Am I Being Unreasonable?" And, importantly, did she reply "Yarnboo. Sending a quiet hand-hold"?

I found the thread 🤣

iris1000 · 11/05/2026 19:59

Did she push her face up really close to you and say ‘what colour are my eyes?’

She had a little old Korean lady with her who she meet when the lady's son came to collect a summerhouse.

I was looking for this comment 😁. I was planning to add it if no one else did.

Wiseplumant · 11/05/2026 20:01

Did she ask to see your nails?

Allseeingallknowing · 11/05/2026 20:02

She was with her MIL, feeding her 9 month old chocolate?

Papster · 11/05/2026 20:04

Her husband momentarily glanced at another woman, and she announced she was going for an STI test and divorcing him and 97% said YANBU while the other 3% had hit the wrong button by mistake

excelledyourself · 11/05/2026 20:05

Did you make her laugh, thus she spat out her tea and/or woke the DC?

Allseeingallknowing · 11/05/2026 20:05

She was walking round naked in the hotel?

Allseeingallknowing · 11/05/2026 20:06

She was offended when you nodded and said “ good morning”?

iris1000 · 11/05/2026 20:06

I pictured ‘wearing the B word’ as wearing a necklace with the word Bitch. Which I know is the wrong answer but hey ho that where my mind went.

Allseeingallknowing · 11/05/2026 20:07

She invited your husband to join them for dinner, but not you!

OrsolaRosso · 11/05/2026 20:08

So do we have a definite answer as to what the B word is?
