As yet, still waiting for B to pay the remaining £11.

Anyone think that maybe the person found this thread and thats why the OP hasn't come back...

Perhaps, as another poster predicted, B brought in a boiled egg for lunch and gassed out the place. Amelia may still be recovering.

Nor do I Hugger - I can't remember the posts in detail, but there wasn't anything offensive that I was aware of - I'm sure I would have remembered that.

I wish OP would just give one brief post eg "Lunch Club went ahead - ALL paid up front" or "No Lunch Club" or "Lunch Club minus 1" or something.

A blow-by=blow account would be fabulous, but I can see why she'd prefer to step back from the carnage . . . butt I soooo want to know the result . . .

I'm guessing someone in the situation found the thread & that's why B went to HR. She got told to pay, OP got told to stop posting.

@Stravapalava interesting idea! Can HR really tell someone to stop anonymously posting on an internet forum? I suppose if it's in work time they may have a point but no one can 100% prove who you are so surely they don't have the right to say? Genuine questions!

That could be right Stravaplava - Good thinking!

What a shame there wasn't a final update but I'm sure there's good reason for that.

I gave read both threads. The OP posted very few times and was probably less invested in it than many of the posterson the thread itself. Friday either, they all had lunch, b paid or they all had lunch but b didnt join in. Both non events really and the OP has carried on with their life.

Often this happens on here, especially if posters write with humour or are particularly engaging. People are looking to be entertained so the threads take on a life of their own.

I'd like a feature when i can scroll directly to the Ops comments in some threads but then i might miss out I guess.

Well, you can scroll to the OP's posts, if you use the feature that allows you to change the colour of their posts to highlight them. That's what I do.

It would be nice though, if you could click a button so that you only saw the OP's posts. It would make finding and reading the OP's posts on a long thread, much easier, and might avoid getting so many posters, who only read the first post, asking questions that the OP has already answered. It would also mean we wouldn't have to waste time scrolling through a thread, only to find the OP never came back to the thread.

Very disappointing indeed, I’ve waiting all week for the Friday update........

OPs last post was her signing out and thanking posters. She didnt intend to keep this going on, don't think there were to be any more updates.

On an android phone, how do I turn the op's posts a different colour please? (See my user name for explanation of why I don't know 🙁)

Oldbird, you need to go to the website and go to settings in My Mumsnet and enable it there. Not sure whereabouts in settings it is, though, sorry, as it's ages since I did it.

AIBU to think that OPs should at least give 'closure' to those people kind enough to spend time reading and commenting advice when OPs have asked for it in the first place?

CallMeRachel · 20/10/2019 00:05

I don't think the op owes anyone anything.

Thanks to the person who derailed the op's thread by pulling the race card on the title it has since went off on a bizzare tangent.

The op did say she was signing off so that's it. Show is over.
