That's not a MN emoji, is it?

Hint : look in Radio Addicts.

Yes it is on iPad, so I'm not the only one then? .........

It is. It was created for the Archers threads (radio addicts) but I can't remember the exact reason why!

Is it a pub sign? Not sure I've ever seen one that looks like that though

Mumsnet started in 2000, according to Wiki.

Blimey ok so I might've exaggerated a bit but dd is nearly 17 (3 weeks) and it was whilst I was pg with her so at least 17.5 years. Anyway, it's to do with the archers but what is it? Confused

I've always thought it looks like a Nazi flag.

It's the pub sign from Ambridge, as many others have said. The pub is called The Bull. There's always a thread going in Radio Addicts for us sad obsessives to diss discuss The Archers. It will likely be very active this coming week because of the trial.

Nanny - whilst looking at the bull thread someone commented about another new one that looked like a red dinosaur - I've never seen that one before either! MN still offers mystery at every turn .......

That's the Welsh dragon, isn't it?

MN 20 yrs old??? I didn't know that!

CoconutAndVanilla · 04/09/2016 17:47

Wow I didn't know this site was that old, I'm here from Netmums, since coming on here I don't ever see myself going back Smile

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 04/09/2016 17:50

Topaz my dear, you are trying to entice me into making a show of myself in front of these good non-listeners, but I am up to your tricks.

However, if anybody wants an exhaustive account of what has been going on, such as I just inflicted on my mother (poor woman), do please just ask. I can bore for Britain on the subject of The Archers. Grin

cpthen · 04/09/2016 17:52

Me too. I have just tried to explain it to our Spanish AuPair Hmm

FeckinCrutches · 04/09/2016 17:53

It was only founded in 2000 Grin
