Spanish grandma en route and friend still in the shop thread #4

792 replies

Wattyyyy · 28/07/2017 19:51

I can't believe this is the fourth thread.

To summarise: CFN have seemingly done a disappearing act, my friend is now OUTSIDE the shop but still talking to the shop owner man.

I'm waiting on the wine I can see in her hand.

Yay thanks fliss

Dlpdep · 28/07/2017 22:09

I wonder how quickly the daily mail will synopsise it!

timis · 28/07/2017 22:09

Sigh of relief........

Somebody mentioned Dame Margaret Rutherford upthread. She must be given a starring role somewhere. Plus, she'd take no sauce from La Allsopp if she were to flounce up with any of her twiggy gingham shit.

I haven't had a chance to RTFT so I don't know if anyone's suggested this, but once upon a time Radio 4 used to broadcast emergency messages to reach people who were away on holiday. Something along the lines of Would Mr & Mrs Cheeky Fucking Neighbours, currently believed to be in hiding, please contact Wattyyy so she can set the planning authorities on them and ensure their UTTER TWATTERY is punished to the fullest extent of the law should do the trick well, no it wouldn't, but it would be very satisfying-

Colinfarrellsarse · 28/07/2017 22:10

Hallelujah!

So - geordie builders or Scottish? Or Nick Knowles and his DIY SOS lot?

Ameliablue · 28/07/2017 22:10

It's all getting confusing now.

DartmoorDoughnut · 28/07/2017 22:10

Bloody hell I am FAR too invested, genuinely had a minor panic then 😄

prettybird · 28/07/2017 22:10

Had been drafting my own CFN story - which was boring in comparison - but now wondering if these posts are going to go pouuff and disappear Confused

Photomummy16 · 28/07/2017 22:10

@cedilla brilliant, haha!!

IloveBanff · 28/07/2017 22:10

What a relief! I was sure it was because it is a legal matter.

Littlefuckers · 28/07/2017 22:11

I'm guessing it could any number of reasons; too identifying, or media attention or possible legal action, etc
OP if you're still reading hoping you are now enjoying Wine and hope all goes well with recovery to your garden.

Photomummy16 · 28/07/2017 22:11

@cedilla they can't POSSIBLY be radio 4 listeners though Shock

Flumpernickel · 28/07/2017 22:12

Oh. MY. GOD! MNHQ... you nearly killed me, I thought it was over!!! ShockBlushGin

gingergenius · 28/07/2017 22:12

Thanks MNHQ. I know we are all ridiculously overinvested here but there is something very lovely about a group of people who don't know each other, coming together to support someone else in the pursuit of what is right.

I know it's only online and it shouldn't be important, but somehow it is. So Thankyou.

SweepTheHalls · 28/07/2017 22:12

Phew! I am rather over invested!

londonrach · 28/07/2017 22:13

Op hope you ok

Rattledickie · 28/07/2017 22:14

Put switzerland on the list tooSmile

IloveBanff · 28/07/2017 22:14

Littlefuckers scroll up a bit to MNHQ's message. All is well. OP's posts are back it was a glitch.

Spookle · 28/07/2017 22:14

BoreOfWhabylon Grin

Good to see you back OP

DaemonPantalaemon · 28/07/2017 22:14

How frustrating. Far too invested in this and now so disappointed everything has vanished

As a general rule, it is wise not to get too invested in outlandish, fast moving threads on Mumsnet, even when they get the MNHQ seal of approval :)

Funko · 28/07/2017 22:14

Thank fuck for that! Right, now might be a good time for everyone to eat, sleep, tidy up, shower, top up wine etc!

TheseAreTheDays · 28/07/2017 22:14

Phew OP's posts are back! Hope alls ok and looking forward to latest installment.
