to think it's a bit rank to be walking down the High Street scoffing fish and chips at 10:47am?

Clarsy.

YABVU

The kebab shop doesn't open until lunchtime.

Dawnyann - 'big fat heffer' charming turn of phrase you have - try substituting fat for black or disabled and see if you still feel happy saying it.

In Hastings, 10:47am for lager is positively happy hour
(disclaimer: from there so can bitch about it)

YABU. I wouldn't think twice about it TBH. But now you've made me crave fish and chips. It's 11.57am and I'm sitting at a desk. Is this allowed?

YABU. I've already eaten my lunch (for breakfast) and I wish so hard that I had fish and chips because I'm still hungry.

Yeah, cos it's so easy to diet down to being a white person.

Not quite the same IMO. I know that not all overweight people are that way because of eating too much but I think that medically induced obesity is far less common than simply being overweight due to poor lifestyle choices.

Apparenlty human beings are supposed to eat main meals in the morning and then smaller meals as the day goes on, so we've been doing it backwards and the person you saw is spot on. I eat main meals in the morning, especially left over takeaway vindaloo, yummy

Pregnancy cravings?

I wouldn't and thats why I didnt! cos im not racist nor would i ever insult a disabled person like that.

now i want chips :(

hands up all those who fancy fish and chips now?

mmmmmmmmmm me too nickel!

and it's lnchtime for ages! (I wonder if i should text DH and get him to bring chips at lunch - beats cheese and pickle hands-down)

argh!
it not lunchtime for ages!

Dawnyamma - my point exactly! Why is it OK for you to insult an overweight person like that?

um, a lot of people work night shifts, making morning their dinnertime...my doctor friends always eat something savoury (or unsavoury!) late morning before going to sleep before their next late shift.

Mumsnet really does have some of the most narrow minded views i've ever encountered!

Perhaps they had just left a weightwatchers meeting?

"Come on Chaos - admit it - you were envious!!!"

Totally agree with this statement ............ and how can someone who uses the word 'rank' talk about anyone else ??

Total jealousy.

Whilst the word 'Heffer' was not a nice one, I really don't think it's right to try to compare fat people to black or disabled people.

Compare them to smokers, alcoholics and drug addicts by all means (only if they're addicted to over eating) but not to black or disabled people.
