to think that perhaps I am far to common for Mumsnet?

[teameric]

I live in a council flat, am as cockney as they come, swear like an old docker, and like a good row, just think that I'm a bit of a fish out of water on here sometimes.

Me too (Except the council flat, and I am from Essex)

Nah, there are plenty of other commoners on here, am sure some will be along soon.

It's a big melting pot, don't be daft

Of course you are. Oik!

Oh yes. No-one swears on MN. Not ever.

And I am too good for this world

We all have our cross to bear......

Swearing is an important part of MN.

oh trust me, i can out common anyone.

and all the Mners that have met me will gladly tell you thats true

OMG THOUGH! I is bear common.

I loves MNs its bear jokes and chat.

Wdnt b wivout it Innit!

Don't be silly - I am as common as muck and fit in fine.

Don't worry about the see you next Tuesday thread - loads of us have got told off for swearing over the years, you are in good company.

You wouldn't believe it, but I am quite "Essex".

As long as you don't post in text speak, everyone will accept you

thank goodness it's a melting pot! i won't say whether i lower the tone or raise it!

I live in a council flat, agree with PrincessToadstool nobody's too anything for MN. That's why you get so many different opinions and great arguements!

Must admit I assume most posters are from down south and quite posh too !

i'm irish. I feel like imust be the only irish person to have found this site but there are loads here. i'm posh in ireland! graham norton also says that!! but that counts for nothing in the uk

Not much room for many more chips on those shoulders today OP.

Did your Tuesday thread get pulled then?

Classy.

chegirl according to my DS everything is "bear nang" or bear something, or just "sick man", wtf is that all about?

I don't think you are too common. Let's face it, we're all facing many of the same problems in bringing up our children. Just enjoy the solidarity without looking for barriers.

I shop in Asda, drink lager and work as a cleaner.

I'm right common me

As I said.
Classy.
QED.

There seems to be a misapprehension on here that swearing is somehow common. My grandmother was cousin to a baronet and deemed to be a bad influence on us as a result of her propensity for saying fuck, particularly after a couple of G&Ts. Swearing can be very grand and posh.

whatever you minger

What on earth is "bear"?

Well, am assuming it's not the fluffy/wild animal thing.

Perhaps I am posher than I thought, or maybe it's because my DC are young and am in Lancashire?

i always thought it was bare innit
