Why has the Spanish cleaner thread been hidden?!

Please don’t tell me this was a troll. We were all so invested!

Plus, why WOULD it be a troll? It didn’t seem troll-flavoured.

OR has the cleaner asked for it to be removed?

It seems to have been marked as ‘hidden’ for a long time without any confirmation of it being removed…

Hi OP

Can you send us a link? We'll take a look!

Strange encounter with my cleaner www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/4672325-strange-encounter-with-my-cleaner

Yes that was amazing! I refreshed the page and poof! So disappointing

motleymop · 08/11/2022 20:46

I want to know what it was about now!

PronounsBaby · 08/11/2022 20:54

Op bumped into a woman she swears is her cleaner in the supermarket, drives the same car and everything. Only her cleaner is obviously Spanish, strong accent and convos about Spain - the woman in the supermarket not so Spanish and denied knowing her.

Other school mums also uses the cleaner, she had a message from one which thought the cleaner was English....then I refreshed and missed anything else. The cleaner was due in again today! I think the op may have been planning to ask her but most were speculating she would not turn up!

Thank you. That does sound intriguing!

Well at the risk of this becoming a TAAT…I’ll live dangerously.

The OP had had a Spanish cleaner working for her for 8 weeks. She works for other people she knows. Said she was from Malaga.

OP saw her in Tesco and said ‘Sophia! Hi!’ And in a posh British accent the woman said she wasn’t Sophia. Then OP saw her get into Sophia’s car. 😂

Then OP messaged one of her friends and asked where Sophia was from and the reply was ‘she’s English, isn’t she’.

So everyone has been thinking she was embarrassed or something and didn’t want anyone to know who she really was but then, she’s only been pretending to be Spanish to the OP. So the mystery continued.

We were all waiting to see if she turned up on Wednesday.

Can't the thread be reinstated? I want to know what happens !

Sparklingbrook · 08/11/2022 21:00

Sounds like Jackanory to me.

I’m not saying you’re wrong and I can’t really explain why but it just didn’t feel like a troll.

I didn't see the thread and it may have all been true but it's just your summary, and the making everyone hang on for the update? Had me a bit hmm. Maybe in real time it seemed less so.

Sparklingbrook · 08/11/2022 21:05

Plus it sounds hugely outing. Grin

PronounsBaby · 08/11/2022 21:05

Honestly I don't care if it's actually true! I want to see where it goes. Surely we don't really believe everything we read on here?

So say it isn't true you still want to read the made up ending? You could choose your own? Grin

minipie · 08/11/2022 21:08

I don’t really care if it was a troll tbh! It was entertaining and not doing any harm. Wasn’t looking for money or sympathy or encouraging anyone to share personal stuff.

I too want to know what happened (or the OP says happened) today…

Same. 😂

And it doesn’t work if we make up our own ending because then we know it’s not true.

Sparklingbrook · 08/11/2022 21:13

But someone else's made up ending is better? Shall i make one up for you? Grin

TabithaTittlemouse · 08/11/2022 21:14

I’m sad that I missed it, it sounds good!

Yes please!

Dotcheck · 08/11/2022 21:15

Well, plot thickens. I wasn’t invested before, but I am now

ScrambledOrPoached · 08/11/2022 21:17

heh

Cantfeelmuchthesedays · 08/11/2022 21:17

I wondered where it went too…was a bit of an odd post though!

NiceGarden · 08/11/2022 21:17

Sadly it turns out Sophia is sczichophrenic!
Si!

TastesLikeFlavourlessFizz · 08/11/2022 21:18

MumUndone · 08/11/2022 21:15

Yes please!

Make it good though @Sparklingbrook. Put your back into it. No fobbing us off with one sentence.
