it's all your fault, feminists.

Especially the state of Britains public conveniences.

An unbelievable letter in my local paper today

surely they wrote that for a laugh

Written by a woman, too (I presume, anyway, that Heather is a woman's name).

That's us told.

You've got to love the letters in the local press... our local rag has had an ongoing debate for several months between some fundamentalist christians and atheists.

But for the top-quality bizarre letter, as here, a Victorian attitude needs to combine with a complete lack of any logic, structure or sense. Exemplary.

DH and I used to seek out the Barking Letter Of The Day on the Daily Telegraph website in slow work moments. It would usually read something like this;

Sir,

I am 93 and I think they should all be strung up! I remember the glorious summer of '32 when Fufflebottom scored 134 not out for Essex.

Yours,
Col H.M.D.F. Moustache-Warmer (retd.)

That letter's a classic. It's just very funny

Hahahhahhahhaha that is just brilliant

Right... so what, feminists don't do housework and somehow that makes public loos dirty? Odd. I don't recall my Granny ever cleaning public loos, even though she was VERY houseproud. Pursing her lips in disapproval and warning me not to touch the doorhandles, yes, actually whipping out a pot of Vim and a scrubbing brush, no.

All I can see in this post is

I’m extremely new to mumsnet, can anyone advise me why I can’t see the letter that the rest of you can?

You’ve opened a thread from 2010…

We had a visitor who was bumping threads from 2010. MN have removed all of their posts, so if you see a thread from 2010 this is why.

Somebody bumped a Zombie Thread (all the posts prior to yours @SpaTown are from 2010) but from elsewhere it seems the person responsible had been wiped from the site so you can’t see their bump - I’m guessing there was originally a link in the OP & it broke at some point…

Ah I wondered. It was bloody strange.
