Your challenge is to suggest names for the places, streets and shops that would make up the County of Mumsnet.

The city would be called Forum. Its suburbs: Boden (designer, very expensive), Hunbury Hills (flashy and a bit TOWIE), Cleek (gated community).

The oldest part of town is 'Biscuitgate' there's a market there very other Thursday, at which MNetters sell organic veg and eggs from their chickens.
