Was in M&S earlier with friend and our babies.

A woman walked into the babywear bit with her daughter who was in her teens, they went straight to the girls' bit and she loudly announced 'this would do for a new jumper for Pledge'

Pleeeeeease tell me this isn't actually a name?

Maybe they said Paige?

Otherwise, well, they certainly didn't run it past MN first did they

AnarchyAunt · 07/01/2009 17:12

Or maybe it was for the family spaniel

Flightattendant7 · 07/01/2009 17:14

They did look very scary tbh.

I didn't like to ask.

Maybe they were looking for something to wear to a Pledging session? Sort of Guiding Promise?

georgiemum · 07/01/2009 17:16

Maybe it's Pledge as in the virgin-y thing.

Flightattendant7 · 07/01/2009 17:18

Well the older woman had a very deep voice. She was a bit shouty and sounded almost like a bloke.
I just got out the way quite fast iyswim.

We looked at each other and legged it to the lift.

Didn't really see her as the spaniel type..

georgiemum · 07/01/2009 17:20

So you didn't just go up to them and say 'excuse me but I coudn't help overhearing... are you out of your mind????'

Flightattendant7 · 07/01/2009 17:21

No, she would have lamped me

BabyBaby123 · 07/01/2009 18:22

must have been Paige! They sound like the type to have to a Paige....

Flightattendant7 · 07/01/2009 18:37

No no it was definitely pledge. It had an L in there.

Tbh they seemed like they might have another one called Angel and a boy called Blade.

you know the type

and a pit bull spaniel called tiammii or something.

Are you sure she wasn't looking for a rag to do her dusting with?
