Agree referring to yourself as a HCP is a bit weird cos you’d just say your specialism, but I’ve been in hospital a fair bit and I always say HCP as a catch all cos I know there’s SO many different specialities and training levels within them that it feels more respectful than potentially getting it wrong, I hope no one would think I was either pretentious or snobby as a patientYou always see posters who work in the NHS refer to themselves as a ‘Health Care Professionals’ or ‘HCP’. So you’re a doctor or a nurse then? I’ve literally never heard anyone used that term in real life and I know a lot of nurses, it’s so pretentious
They probably think saying they're a mental health professional will out them, same as when they think saying their DH's mystery hobby is cycling will out them. Sad cows.Agree referring to yourself as a HCP is a bit weird cos you’d just say your specialism, but I’ve been in hospital a fair bit and I always say HCP as a catch all cos I know there’s SO many different specialities and training levels within them that it feels more respectful than potentially getting it wrong, I hope no one would think I was either pretentious or snobby as a patient
It’s bizarre when you consider the NHS is the country’s biggest employer so it’ll be near on impossible to track you down! But I don’t think many of them have much wider world knowledge, if it’s not happening down their street they’ve got no interestThey probably think saying they're a mental health professional will out them, same as when they think saying their DH's mystery hobby is cycling will out them. Sad cows.
The problem is they're so self-obsessed/entitled/sheltered/deluded they think everyone they've ever met is infatuated with them and on a mission to trawl through mumsnet to try and find and out them. in reality no one could give even less of a shit about them or their lifeIt’s bizarre when you consider the NHS is the country’s biggest employer so it’ll be near on impossible to track you down!

This is one of my favourite tradesmen stories from MN from a thread where they all tried to outdo themselves over incidents where a tradesman dared to talk to the lady of the house instead of tugging their forelock. I think we can safely change the end line to ‘there is no way this encounter happened’. View attachment 865527
‘And then everyone stood up and clapped … ‘So many threads end up like that! This one reminds me of a thread about 'pretty woman moments' which started OK, but became more and more outlandish, with stories that were clearly badly written fakes to make posters look good!
They often have a 'script' where the poster writes everything each person said in the conversation with detail, usually with a sort of quip or punchline that makes the poster look so clever!
Could be so many! But maybe Cash Carraway?This isn’t so much a mums net post but I have been trying to remember the name of an Instagrammer for weeks now and I know she used to have loads of issues with mumsnet threads about her and she always claimed she was bullied and I think she tried shutting them down!
can anyone remember her - she had a bit of a following, I’m sure she was a single mum, very anti Tory and I’m sure she used to always post about poverty and was maybe even a writer (I’m sure she was holding audiences where she was discussing poverty) but there were rumours she was actually not in poverty at all and was using it for her own gain - pretty sure there was an issue with the fact she was gifted a rug or something but couldn’t buy food? Pleassse say someone remembers it’s been bugging me for ages!!
Yes thank you so much! That’s her!! This has been bugging me for weeks and you got it in seconds!! Thank you lol I don’t even know why she popped in my head!!Could be so many! But maybe Cash Carraway?
I thought you were going to say Jack Monroe! But it was mumsnet not tattle she's complaining aboutThis isn’t so much a mums net post but I have been trying to remember the name of an Instagrammer for weeks now and I know she used to have loads of issues with mumsnet threads about her and she always claimed she was bullied and I think she tried shutting them down!

Didn’t she recently feature in a Kathy Burke doc on money?Could be so many! But maybe Cash Carraway?
Jack Monroe was the first person that sprang to mind for me too. That description sounds exactly like her.I thought you were going to say Jack Monroe! But it was mumsnet not tattle she's complaining about
It did sound like jack, she used to spend a lot of time on mumsnet, even did an AMA, claims to be poor, even sold her lightbulbs, claims to be a writer, wears designer clothes, but claims they were found in a skip or gifts, ditto all her gadgets and tech, has 3 smeg fridge freezers and a gazillion Cotswold sideboards, but can’t afford butter.I thought you were going to say Jack Monroe!

She...sold her light bulbs? She sold them? She genuinely thought that was a good idea? And there was another person who bought them? In real life? In the world I have to live in with them? Just walking around, allowed to vote? OK. I would like the see the diagram where people who sell their lightbulbs intersects with people who stop at the top of escalators, because I bet there's a huge overlap there.It did sound like jack, she used to spend a lot of time on mumsnet, even did an AMA, claims to be poor, even sold her lightbulbs, claims to be a writer, wears designer clothes, but claims they were found in a skip or gifts, ditto all her gadgets and tech, has 3 smeg fridge freezers and a gazillion Cotswold sideboards, but can’t afford butter.

Someone who is only slightly less poor than a person who sells their used lightbulbs...Who buys used lightbulbs?!?!?!
Probably the same people who take the lightbulbs with them when they move houseWho buys used lightbulbs?!?!?!
