How did I recognise a fellow Mumsnetter while in Spain?

[UrsulasHerbBag]

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).

So were on a train reading MN and a fellow passenger started a thread about you and you saw it there and then?? How odd!

Did you post on the thread? Did you know which passenger it was and make eye contact?

It's not used anywhere. It's a reference to an old MN thread, like most of the posts on this one... !

a bag with a mumsnet wordcloud on it would be good.
bagsy that idea. damn.

She was asking you if you thought she was unreasonable?

Oh I love Spain too - I was referring to the stereotype of a MNer, the one referenced in many previous posts on this thread with a tinkly laugh and a Boden dress etc

Are we ever going to get an answer to this, or have I missed it? Did she have her ducks in a row? (Highly doubt I've been the first to suggest this! Sorry!)😆

Oh...was that the answer?! But....how did you know?! I'm so confused...

And it was that stereotypical opinion I was referring to in my post. It was meant to be a joke. I love Spain too.

I can’t believe people have taken my post seriously

I assumed it was a rhetorical question to generate humorous responses 🤷‍♀️

Come op, say something

They were a judgemental arsehole?

She started the thread about me after she got off the train. I saw it and realised from the title it was about me and posted on it.

Title was just something like “I saw a mumsnetter on the Sheffield train with fabulous trousers”. My trousers were indeed fabulous so I knew it was me. The actual post even said which post I’d been reading iirc as she’d been so close behind me as getting off at her station.

@sugarpiebunnyhunch I recently returned to the UK after a stretch and could not believe the amount of Roka bags in the wild.. It was stunning

Did she give you unmumsnetty hugs?

Perhaps it's the B in LTB?

Me too...

I’m amazed “naice” hasn’t made it into the Oxford dictionary!

So where is the OP?

I know, I know! Was she wearing birdy badge?!! As in the fortune telling mystical badge that predicts impending doom?

Oh my god that Birdy Badge freaked me out @Moonlightdust 🙈

She threw her wine at the wall that had a dead wasp in it because her DH was flirting with Sharon again.
Her DH accused her of being like bungle and then Adam got involved as usual.

She was hating her holiday and looking up flights home?
She was on her own in Carrefour buying wine selecting salad ingredients, watching disdainfully as a badly prepared non-Mumsnetter blocked the aisles with her entire, shrieking family?

I knew what you meant!
I recall a poster when asking for holiday advice saying she'd much sooner go to France than Spain as France has "a lot more culture" than Spain 🥴

Perhaps... her husband was a MAMIL - a middle aged man in lycra?
