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]

My boys (and I) all have ginger hair and they have to live with twunty comments every sodding day. They even had to move schools because bullying by one group was so bad.

Not funny, not acceptable.

poorbuthappy · 24/04/2011 20:03

I was ginger when I was younger (more grey now unfortunately [busad]) and had lots of trouble in school as I was the 1 who stood out in a crowd so got blamed for a lot of stuff. Twas horrid...

help me please, do I go out and buy wine or not? Having a moment of indecisiveness...

WhatFreshHellIsThis · 24/04/2011 20:04

I got in too! Hooray for secret parties. Is it going to be like school, playing spin the bottle and people being sick in the bushes?

TethersEnd · 24/04/2011 20:05

Pacific, I'd hide the cut crystal decanter and your dad's car keys if I were you.

Bigger boys came and it's all got out of hand...

SarahStrattonsHotCrossBunnies · 24/04/2011 20:07

Oohh made it [bugrin]

Not ginger, Essex blonde though so plenty of jokes aimed my way. Doesn't bother me, I know I'm not thick and I like making people laugh.

I split my trousers today btw.

BeakerTheMuppetMuppet · 24/04/2011 20:07

Grin at bigger boys

Happymm · 24/04/2011 20:08

Poor-try sherry instead! Did you know that if you mix Harvey's Bristol Cream with lemonade, it tastes JUST like Pimm's! Honest to god.I wouldn't lie about such a thing!

heliumballoons · 24/04/2011 20:11

Whey hey - a secret thread. I was wondering what was going on - and FWIW pacific YANBU.

My DS is reddish - and very ginger looking in the sun but he has a grade 2 all over so not much hair to go on. Grin

I DS has shed loads of easter eggs I can bring to the party.
