to think Saffy would be on the Child Protection register now?

[IAmACompleteAisling]

Another classic that really hasn't aged well.

Mummy has money, sweetie.

And a lovely accent, darling.

Champagne for Lulu

Surely that's an oxymoron?

A classic is timeless.

No she wouldn't, she's fed, nourished, no hygiene problems, has money, her surroundings are clean, she lives the life many children like her social class live BUT she also has her grandmother, albeit a bit daft, on hand as a responsible adult.

I assume you’re joking.

I think it's still hilarious, and obviously supposed to be exaggerated and not real. I mean the fact Patsy hadn't eaten since 1972 was a running joke

who is Saffy?

Who is saffy?

AF. The other one i mean, not AnyFucker

I adore it but my sister is 25 and was rather horrified when she started watching it

'Inside me is a thin person dying to get out'
'Just the one, dear?'

Poor Saffy - she wouldn't be removed though - she had a good support network of friends, her maternal Grandmother, father and his wife ...

I still watch it an laugh I don't think it's aged badly

or was Marshall her brothers dad? Was her dad gay?

I was more worried about Bettina and Max's kid tbh

Justin was Saffy's dad and he was gay, he had a relationship with Oliver.

Marshall was edinas ex I think

ghostly - Justin (gay) is Saffy's father, and Marshall, I think, is Serge's father. Not sure if we ever met Serge?

Hhmm ishould bring this up at work,

Using the adverse childhood experience metrics, there is drug and alcohol use in the household, child is frequently a carer for the adult. Her mum doesnt have a mental health diagnosis - (shall we guess bi-polar?.)

If Saffy had a parent who was in prison or deceased, any domestic violence in the household, then i think she has a 20 times increased risk of class a drug use.

Google the ted talk by nadine burke harris if youre intrested

Serge! That's the brother and he was never in it

Self Raising Flower

Patsy is the long suffering daughter from Absolutely Fabulous.

We never saw her when she was little. She doesn’t seem to need to be on the child protection register. Mummy (Edina - Jennifer Saunders) otoh maybe.

I never’got’ Ab Fab, although I know people loved it.

Mother is narc surely? Saffy is typical neglected emotional caretaker child, but not on register, no way
Brilliant, but looks ott now

But -- isn't she also about 17 or 18?
I thought she was definitely a sixth former.
She was getting married in one episode! (until Eddie fucked it up)

Mummy - Patsy was the 'friend' - Saffy was the daughter.
