What an earth are you on about now? Shame on you using your sick Grandad to play the victim yourself. Poor man. That's awful.
You don't like your Mam being allegedly bullied by the Scots School Committee and you, literally, fly to her aid. You claim then that you are bullied because you are from the West Country. Much worse apparently?
It's not a competition for goodness sake.
The thread is not all about you and how you cope, it's about the OP and how SHE felt and advice she asked for. But she's long gone now, thanks to your own, and a few others, unhelpful obsession with stereotyping her background. The first reply here was deleted as being against guidelines as it fed into that awful attitude.
A stranger taking the piss out of someone's background, accent, character, in front of a group of people a young woman doesn't know when she's trying to promote her business, isn't banter when she doesn't find it funny and feels belittled. Whether from Liverpool, the West Country, Hull, London, Brum or elsewhere. It doesn't matter. It's bullying if it's deliberately done to humiliate and undermine, which this was. Unacceptable.
Especially when in a position of power as that bloke was to the OP. He was an arse.
You clearly have your own grudge against Liverpool people, and keep endlessly trying to dress it up as something else. Carry on. I'm not stopping you. Zero fucks given.
However, you are proving the point the rest of us are making, about divs in the workplace who think they are being clever, but in reality are just old stock in thinking in a world that's thankfully moved on from decades ago.
