When you wonder if changing your real name is as easy as changing it on MN and how much fun it would be confusing everyone.

PestoMonster · 27/04/2007 21:05

you look at everyone you see in the playground and try and guess whether or not they are MNers

I referred to my daughter as dd to the checkout lady in Sainsburys yesterday! I looked around very sheepishly, to check that no-one was giving me a knowing smile

Flumpybumpy · 27/04/2007 21:05

Pesto, I do that ALL THE TIME!!!!!

PestoMonster · 27/04/2007 21:07

When you start seeing MN acronyms in car number plates!
It started when I parked behind a UCM, since then I've noticed COD and OCD, BLW, and BFP.
And this afternoon I was passed by a ARF.....

MrsWho · 27/04/2007 21:31

PestoMonster · 27/04/2007 21:42

JintyB do you live in the SouthWest?

JintyB · 27/04/2007 21:55

No, but my Dad does - the COD is his car!

PestoMonster · 27/04/2007 22:12
