Heather Mills was constantly in the media in the 2000’s as the wife of Sir Paul McCartney. If you was to ask your DC at uni or in their 20’s who she was would they know who she is? And what she was known for?

This is an incredibly specific post!

Kalevala · 05/04/2024 23:50

I'm the previous generation and I didn't know who she was.

Yes. It's the second post about Heather Mills in the last few weeks.

Hmmm🤔

Hi, Heather! Yes, I think you'll need to hire a PR for whatever it is you're planning to launch.

Kalevala · 05/04/2024 23:53

It's coming up as the only post under the username.

Have we now got a Heather Mills troll to add to MN's extensive collection?

Some kind of tour of UK universities?!

Yes! I’m sure there was another post recently!

Is that you, Heather?!

Probably the only one we were missing tbf

HappierTimesAhead · 05/04/2024 23:58

This probably belongs in pedants corner but I think it should be 'Do your uni aged children know who Heather Mills is?'.

Awrite · 05/04/2024 23:58

No, I doubt my uni aged dc knows who Heather Mills is.

Delphigirl · 05/04/2024 23:58

Of course not! Why would they? She was irrelevant even while she was briefly notorious.

Chattywatty · 05/04/2024 23:59

Why on earth would they know. She’s completely irrelevant

LaurieFairyCake · 06/04/2024 00:00

My daughter (aged 27) doesn't know

So you've deffo missed the boat

Yes, but only because my 20 year old music student DD is a huge Paul McCartney fan (she once bought a most obscure PM vinyl album at a retro vinyl fair and the veteran seller couldn’t believe that someone would want it let alone someone of her generation). What she thinks of her, I don’t know, never asked. But she’s pretty much only focused on the music, so probably not much interest tbh.

Isittimeformynapyet · 06/04/2024 00:02

Yes, but have they heard of Arthur Mullard?

Surely that's the question people should be asking.

TheSnowyOwl · 06/04/2024 00:03

I doubt many people would have any interest in remembering her even if they had been aware or her at the time. I can’t see why any in their late teens or 20s would bother wanting to know about her.

ginandbearit · 06/04/2024 00:03

Yuss

wombat15 · 06/04/2024 00:04

Why would they? She was only well known because she was married to Paul McCartney but most uni students probably don't know who he is either.

If you were to ask.

I'll get my coat.

Good luck finding a HM fan club
