I have ranted about this topic before, seethread so when I went to Tesco this morning and saw a big advert for a ginger flavoured drink with the slogan 'Ginger, always the best man - never the bridegroom', I saw red.

Anyway, I started ranting as soon as I saw it and gathered quite a crowd all agreeing with me while I was trying to persuade teenage DD to take a photo of the offending advert (can't work my own camera phone [bublush] ). At this point, red-haired DD rolled her eyes and said 'Mum, you are sooooo embarrassing' and cleared off to look at the toiletries. [bugrin]

Now I know it is supposed to be funny, and I know it is a reference to Prince Harry but AIBU?

PS the tesco manager just looked at me as if I was a nutter and more or less said 'calm down dear'. [bugrin]

Does this thread require a Royal invite to attend?

SecretNutellaFix · 24/04/2011 19:33

I think we should have some sort of secret code or sign...

Oooh, what about this: § ?

I've never been sure what it's for.

DooinMeCleanin · 24/04/2011 19:35

What you all doing hiding in here then? You're all planning something I can tell.

I'm seriously getting the hang of this mumsnet interwebby stuff.

weird and dull in equal measures

I think there should be a rule that if you're going to have a secret you must at least do fun things on it (although that's where my input ends of course)

I reckon there's a LOT of gingers on MN- far more than reflects the population at large...

My hair went gingerish last very night in fact when I thought I was being all clever using the most expensive box of dye in the shop. No I wasn't. Will go back to the ?2 cheapy mercadona one for the same result.
