Seriously, at what point are we going to join forces to create an underground network of mumsnet spies?

We would be a force to be reckoned with.

Er... if this already exists, can someone give me the nod?

Agent Crone reporting ready for duty

I assume you mean like private detectives to gather info on straying partners? Honeytraps? That sort of thing?

Welcome Agent Crone

I wouldn't like to be so bold as to suggest those type of things on a public forum

But imagine you had a cheeky pal in X location and just happened to mention that you wondered if they had seen something odd?? That would be useful

There are often posters who offer their services to OPs wanting proof of partner's whereabouts, whether or not partners are on dating sites etc; willing to phone people incognito, all kinds of offers!

I'd be well up for that. Agent Bishop checking in. Can we claim expenses?

I've always secretly wished that those posters who struggle so much with absolutely awful, feckless partners could in some way do a consenting 'mind-meld' with willing Mumsnetter, who then helps them to tell their partner to fuck off and to ride off into the sunset never once looking over their shoulder.

I'll be one of those!

Oh god, I would be well up for stepping in for some of the mumsnetters on here and telling their CF Cocklodging twat partners to right royally fuck off.

I wholeheartedly support this idea. Where do I sign up? I've got a friend who I can send details to and she is like Facebook stalking extraordinare, I don't know how she does it but she has saved me from a couple of wrong uns on more than one occasion 😂

I Thought of an idea once about setting up a trip advisor style site (members only) for dates on bumble/tinder etc then got reminded of lawsuits and legal action and parked it for another day.... Seriously though, it really is a jungle out there!

I'd love to be able to leave a review about some of the awful dates I've been on -"steer well clear", "run for the hills".
