What if there was a Mumsnet phone line?
Would it work? Or fraught with difficulties?

A mumsnetter would be the absolute last person I would expect to answer the phone.

But maybe if they received an invitation (not a demand!) three months prior they may answer? Assuming they didn't immediately bin the invitation (not a demand).

kisstheblarney · 27/01/2024 02:02

I'm hoping they wouldn't get paid by cheque....

Someone might be upset by the service, complain and say..

Cancel the cheque..... 💥

RobertaFirmino · 27/01/2024 02:03

It could be staffed by MNers. Calls would go something like this:

Caller: 'I'm so upset. We were just coming out of McDonald's when my DC tripped, fell flat on their face and knocked 7 teeth out. What's the best thing to give them for the pain?'

MNer: You let your children eat McDonald's?
