DP and I were in car at traffic lights. Two women (looked like mother and daughter) and a pushchair with a toddler, maybe two.
Older woman stopped, got a -yes- Fruitshoot out of the buggy bag.
I noted this as only a Mumsnetter could
But then
She proceeded to get a baby bottle out of the bag, complete with teat, pour the Fruitshit into it and give it to the bairn.
Before I could stop myself I bawled 'No! Don't give the poor kid that sugary shite'
Thankfully the car windows were closed.
Otherwise, this being Leith, I would have got a 'paggering'
DP looked at me askance and told me I was over-reacting.
Well, am I?

Lordy, that street must have seen some action in it's time! Cord and Ranger -2 labs, one black one white, owner Marie, rough as guts but totally LOVELY .

Every time one of them passes on to doggy heaven she just replaces it with a little carbon copy and calls it the same name LOL!

Marie- YES!! I had forgotten, but you've brought it all back!
