You can always tell some women are childless by the fact that they....

[NinaInCognito]

...get in the way of you when you are in the supermarket dragging around a pram, trolley and fiddly child and then they sneer down at you with their basket full of organic lettuce, baguettes and mini-tampons while your trolley is loaded with nappies, a giant pot of Sudocrem and enough chocolate bars to re-sink the Titanic.

You then have to manoever around them while they continue said sneering.

God you can tell what sort of evening I have had, can't you? And I am embarrassed to admit that I used to be one of those women. I apologise to all you mums out there unreservedly.

Now for chocolate bars and MN......

lol
Excellent!

i likes it!

i mean, i'm so offended and if you haven't go anything nice to write you should shut the fuck up and if you don't like it you don't have to read it.

hun.

lol. i was out in town with dd today, made a specific point of trying to stare down well-dressed women with lettuce. it was like they didn't know i existed... what was i doing wrong?

communion, tbh i'm with expat on the apology front. i think i opened with a fairly anodyne point and got an pathetic, victimish response. i actually hate that sort of passive-aggression... really not my thing, very manipulative. so no apology will be forthcoming from me. as much as anything because it's just a forum on the internet, fgs, and this whole thing has been a massive over-reaction to a completely milquetoast comment in the first place.

oi i thought i felt eyes drilling into me as i perused the lollo rosso.except i am not well dressed more scruffy mummy chic, than sashay chic

aye virtously perused the lettuce But bought bought hot dogs and wine

at riven's mum.

Bizarre thread. FWIW I sometimes used to get irritated by women with buggies in the supermarket in the days before I had even thought about having children myself. Did they HAVE to shop at lunchtime? And clutter up the aisles with prams so I couldn't reach what I wanted?

Clearly I had No Idea - but in my defence, I was just being a Londoner and therefore impatient with anyone who wasn't moving at a brisk pace.

actually, i think the OP was a really poor attempt at journalism that would make Rosie Millard look like a Pulitzer prize award contender.

only, it all went down like a wet fart in a spacesuit rather than the Titanic.

so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

and I hope none of you is working for any sort of tourist bureau to increase tourism in London .

Expat why are you being so horrible? Why can't you just leave it?

Edam are you insulting your former self?

By the same token, why can't you, Gordon?

What you construe as 'horrible' others construe as truth or just another person's opinion.

BFD.

TBH, the real 'horribleness' I've seen here come from people who are being ridiculous over a ridiculous OP.

Some tried to inject a little fun into it all - Chairman, where are you? - and it always gets steered back to the same crappy thing.

riven, use wheelchair as battering ram.

way bigger and more effective than pram.

Riven sneer away. If you go to a branch of Waitrose anywhere you will certainly see me.

In return I will give you a look. Like this .

Then I will and we can go and have a drink.

aaaaaaaaanyway...

today for my ten new pounds i have plumped for the moussakka, the red wine, a fair-sized bag of new pots that we'll eat over the next while, and the syrup puddings.

it's in the oven now.

Mmmm. That sounds delicious.

Who is it on here that refers to Waitrose as 'Twatrose'?

crip?! they probably thought you were american... a worse crime than any other these days, surely?

my hot dogs were mighty tasty, but sustained a nasty yellow stain chomping the dog
