A friend of mine once said to me

'How do i teach my child that people who shop in morissons are dirty?'

She also said she once invited a friend of her ds1 over to play because she thought 'it would be good for him to have a black friend'
Then when she realised this woman lived in a council house she didnt want to meet up with her again.

I think she may have lost the plot

This is absolutely true by the way, I know it seems completely ludicrous. Anyone else had any similar comments made to them?

It did backfire on her though as her ds1 went to a play at one of her other friends houses and she had morrissons food and he refused to eat it!

NQC, why not try to DH/DP/random man you have picked up for the night 'don't you think you should wash your penisy hands before dinner, dear?' Or, 'look, little johnny (insert name of your own child there), those trees have branches that look like penisy hands'. Ok the second one is a little odd, but penis is a perfectly acceptable word to use with children, it's a body part after all!

NotQuiteCockney · 20/03/2007 10:04

Oh god, DS1 probably does have penisy hands, at least in the mornings. Damnit, I have missed my perfect opportunity.

Ah, but Gingermonkey, I did once get involved in a rather nasty trolley rage incident on Christmas Eve (involving random pensioners ramming my trolley into the cheese counter) in the 'clean' Morrisons. Perhaps I should have gone to the Ridings? (Have since avoided all supermarkets on Christmas Eve.)

I certainly wouldn't want my children to associate with someone like the OP's 'friend' (though am LOL at 'penissy hands' [shudder])

I dont know about the people in cerain stores being smelly, butour most lcoal Asda actually smells! It's one of those horrid grubby ones that used to be a Dales store.. and it really stinks! (I use to work there in thecafe .. and DH on the shop floor.. )

[Hi Ellbell!]

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldinghands · 20/03/2007 10:12

I like Morrisons. Always find it rather a special treat to shop there!

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldinghands · 20/03/2007 10:13

(Might change my name to ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingPenissyHands now.. .. and I WILL stop posting on this thread!!)

Ellbell · 20/03/2007 10:14

The Co-op is fine, powder, so much more ethical [adopts earnest tone....].

NotQuiteCockney · 20/03/2007 10:15

Ah, I hadn't known those ones. I think there's a Forrest Hump. Oh, and a Foreskin Gump. Ah, have found a list: On Her Majesty's Secret Penis is the best, I think. List .

WanderingTrolley · 20/03/2007 10:16

We must get this loon on mumsnet asap.

Meet ups: Are you black? Will you befriend my child?

Good Housekeeping: How does one remove the Stench Of Morrisons?

For Sale: One bathroom, slightly tainted with penisy hand prints.

Money Matters: Are you poor? Do you live in a council house? Then keep orf my threads.

Pregnancy: When to tell your unsuitable friends?

Stay away from the mad cow.

wurlywurly · 20/03/2007 10:19

i must be twice as dirty as everyone else. I shop in morrisons, my nephew works in morrisons and my god-daughter is half caste.

kimi · 20/03/2007 10:19

I will remember to have a shower and put on my D&G clothes before I next pop to Tesco, but should I invite one of my black friends to go with me?

powder28 · 20/03/2007 10:20

She is probably already on here!

CAn i point out mother in law shops at morrisons and 2 brother's in law work there,
not sure what side of the debate this puts me on though as they are all pretty grubby!

powder28 · 20/03/2007 10:41
