Pushing DS around a shop when shop lady starting commenting on him "ahh he is lovely" etc etc blah blah. I then noticed her clocking my lack of wedding ring Angry (left them at home - very muggy here and my hands always swell up in heat). I felt compelled to mention that I was looking for a gift for my DH for our anniversary tomorrow... Blush

Was I right to feel the need to point this out??!

When I was pregnant I once sat opposite two nuns on the tube (again not wearing my rings...). Goodness me I wanted to smack their disapproving faces. I do look very young as well. Gggrrrr. I'm not even bloody religious. Why do I care that other people care if I am not married??!! Confused

Cromer is a seaside town in Norfolk. No idea why it is so popular with nuns. They should stick to Walsingham were they belong.

Cromer is also famous for having a night-club called 'Crabs'. Hmm

"DID YOU JUST TALK ABOUT SLAPPING A NUN?"

how very dare they :o

OP clearly felt that the woman was checking for a wedding ring..
Doesn't happen as much these days (imho), but consciousness about that kind of thing depends on the religious background/age of all concerned :)

FoundWanting · 25/06/2011 16:34

'Twas true when I were a teenager. May not exist these days.

The more amazing thing is that Cromer even has a night-club (or Discoteque as it was called).

Or 'up The Wrong 'Un'?

Could be misinterpreted, I think.

ShirleyKnot · 25/06/2011 16:41

Men say "I'm taking the bird up the wrong Un tonight"

I also saw a pub called the Bung Hole once.

BooBearBoo · 25/06/2011 16:42

I work nr the Bung Hole!
