The options it gives for my title are 'Mummy' or 'Daddy'?

Aren't you mummy then?

purpleturtle · 16/04/2010 19:53

Not when I sign up for anything even vaguely grown-up that requires me to give my name and address, no. Then I am Mrs.

fair enough.who'd want to be known solely as mummy

LEMneedsaholiday · 16/04/2010 20:19

I wouldn't mind, im usually Dr I quite like being mummy

CMOTdibbler · 16/04/2010 20:26

I'm not entering as none of their shoes will fit DS.

But my title most def is not mummy

Which Startrite comp?

LEMneedsaholiday · 16/04/2010 20:48

i dont buy startrite shoes, too expensive

purpleturtle · 16/04/2010 21:05

Comp comes up in a red box on the right-hand side - but I can't remember what topic I was in at the time.

The prize is Start-rite shoes for a year - it's actually some campaign to promote importance of measuring feet properly. I obviously don't fit their demographic.

which is also odd, bearing in mind they sell children's shoes online

I am usually your Highness so Mummy is a break for me!!

purpleturtle · 16/04/2010 21:28

thisisyesterday - they were working on an online measuring service . Involved taking 3 photos of each foot, uploading them, and having them analysed. I did some testing for them. It was wildly inaccurate.

That's the last I heard.

(Honestly, by the time you've persuaded 3 DCs to stand still enough for each foot to be snapped 3 times, you might as well put them in the car and take them to a shop!)

When I click on it the options for title are Mr, Mrs, Ms, Miss and Dr

thisisyesterday · 16/04/2010 23:16

i'd still lik eto enter the comp as i do buy start-rite shoes!
but haven't seen it anywhere yet

online measuring just wouldn't work anyway, because there is so much variation between styles and stuff as well. so even if they could accurately work out size from a photo that doesn't guarantee that any particular shoe will be a good fit.

all highly dodgy IMO!

JaneBee · 20/04/2010 15:56

competition is www.startriteshoes.com/ box on the right hand side

Mouseface · 20/04/2010 16:01

Agree with scottishmummy, why do you have to be just a mummy or a daddy?

Did you mean that pun scottishmummy? Solely, shoes?

Sorry, is it time for a shandy yet?!

muggglewump · 20/04/2010 16:03

YANBU.
Adults who call themselves Mummy/Daddy are weird. I avoid people who do that, and don't get me started on 'Mummy friends' Bleeeugh.

scottishmummy · 20/04/2010 20:56

Mouseface,lol you are sharp completely unintentional pun
