***VERY IMPORTANT*** Please settle an arguement between MOH and her DP

[MascaraOHara]

Right, we are watching Tikkabilla and they are making a (particularly poor) island scene...

Following on from this DP and I ended up in a discussion about Sticky-back plastic/sellotape..

DP thinks that on Blue Peter when they said Sticky-back plastic they meant sellotape and they couldn't use the name sellotape because of that brand name

My stance is that sTicky-back plastic is thos sheets of plastic (type stuff) that you peel the back off and it is sticky and that STICKY-TAPE is what they said to refer to sellotape (or any generic sticky tape)

so please.. who's right??

he's wrong isn't he??

(ps thanks - also he was sat behind me pulling me up on the sentence where I was putting forward his arguement)

You are right.

noooo - sticky back plastic is how you describe it MOH .... sorry MOH's DP you are wrong

You are right

your right x

agree with you. Like fablon. Sellotape is sticky tape

BOth right.

Blue Peter did say "STB" when they meant sellotape for trademark reasons. Ususally STB means what you describe.

you are right , as always , MOH !!

You are right, but BP did describe sellotape as SBP too, which always threw me as I never knew what they meant - stupid BBC rules about 'advertising' which they totally ignore these days.

I THANK YOU!!!!

To quote dp...

"Just because it says your right on that stupid thing doesn't mean you are..."

he's in a strop! over sticky-back plastic ffs.

He obviously has not grasped the fact that MN in the font of all knowlecdge yet.

(ps. shush Sassy )

you're right and i KNOW this because a. I have much experience of both the products and
b. MIL used to work for the legal firm who sued EVERYBODY who used the word 'sellotape' when they meant a generic sticky tape product. MIL was a secretary so has typed many letters on this issue. Would your dp like her phone number for confirmation?

PMSL... he's so funny,l he;s gone off to work now to clean bricks lol mumbling about how I should google to find a better source lmao.

(ps. obviously meant 'you're' in my previous post)

still willing to offer MIL phone number - believe me, she'll convince him, but you may need a box of tissues to clear up the gibbering wreck that he will be!

who needs google when mn's around?

lol, kickassangel.

it's his fault I'm sat here when I should be out the house.. he made me login to settle arguement. does he not know what he's done???
