Is Netmums not part of Mumsnet? [confused icon]

I discovered Netmums the same as mumsnet and thought that netmums was just a localised mumsnet. But now MN has just started a localised arm and I have just been on Netmums and they have their own talk forum so now I am really confused!!! Can anyone enlighten me?

No they don't Enid!

Netmums provides a local information service which is very useful for a lot of people. It really isn't in any way competing or copying.

I used to be a Netmums editor, they are in no way riding on anyone's coat tails.

They are completely separate and localised.

I've found netmums good for local stuff because mn never had anything like that (till now) but mn is definitely better for the chat and the advice.

Do prizes won with Netmums come from the same provider as Mumsnet?
