Too nice for Knickers article

OK - I've looked and I cannot find any other Mumsnetters who have taken offence to the article in this weeks Sunday Times Style supplement? I'm not sure I support Johnnie Bodens comment in the "Too nice for knickers" piece. Johnnie says quietly "They lose it, mothers. don't they? And that is why we speak to them quite directly. Because they completely lose it." Maybe I should be pleased never to have owned a Boden item of clothing! I must never have lost it! I know for sure, I will never buy now. So did anybody else take offence or am I being oversensitive!!

YESSSSSSSSS! And the whole thing about not being sexy really annoyed me too. I am sorry to say I do actually own a couple of items of Boden clothing but blimey, he's really shot himself in the foot with that one. I'm not going to buy any more

thank you. I'm not paranoid and mad then. Boycott Boden even with a 10% discount and a £10 off voucher!
