I think you’ll find that walking is for the working classes, where they use it to get to *shudders* employment or the shops. Rambling is for the middle classes, and it’s where you dress up in your finest Joules and Boden, drive half-an-hour the nearest National Trust place, and spend less time than the actual drive dragging Octavia and Theo along a carefully marked trail whilst shouting at the labrador to ‘put that down now, darling’.This is a reply to a post asking what time do you think there’s no point getting dressed for the day and just staying in your pj’s. Is a ramble different to a walk?!

Ramble to me always sounds like stumbling around, falling in to bushes and rolling down hillsThis is a reply to a post asking what time do you think there’s no point getting dressed for the day and just staying in your pj’s. Is a ramble different to a walk?!

And IF they venture into Waitrose ( the ONLY supermarket they consider) they wear Green WellingtonsI think you’ll find that walking is for the working classes, where they use it to get to *shudders* employment or the shops.

A chavvy storm deposits a washing machine, a ford cortina on bricks and an XL bully in your unkempt front garden whereas a posh storm splashes soup down your front and a Labrador in a classic car on your drivewayI wonder what the difference is between a chavvy storm and a posh storm? Do the chavvy ones only take out council houses (omg shock horror poors) and the posh ones stately homes (omg dog hair will be EVERYWHERE)?
I still, many years on, chuckle that the first storm was called Storm Abigail.Oh no a chavvy storm is on the way!
Rambling is what I do when I’m drunk and can’t quite walk straight.Ramble to me always sounds like stumbling around, falling in to bushes and rolling down hills
I think you have to be a VIP tattler member to generate one.I probably haven't posted enough to be able to generate one...how do you find out if you can? A kind MNer gave me mine, I hope she doesn't regret it.
I had a look at this thread, I love the jealousy threads, there is always at least one poster who says ‘I’ve never understood jealousy, I genuinely can’t get my head around it, I just DON’T GET IT, how can anyone be jealous?’ OK we get it, you are above it! Well doneFound it! Titled "To feel dislike for this mum" in AIBU.
I think the average MNer is middle class, but not as middle class as they want to be.For people who are, if you believe the google stats, 'educated and decently off' the MN demographic spend a heck of a lot of time worrying about chaviness.
If you don't live near chavs, have to deal with chavs or have them puking all over your front garden, then I would imagine they wouldn't even register to you.
Brings me to the conclusion that a lot of the so-called stats are actually bollocks. Perhaps the MN demographic typifies a section of the UK population who want to get away from fears of chaviness rather than having succeeded in their efforts to do so? And this is why they constantly need to ask what is chavvy or what is MC.
A confidently MC or UMC parent would name their child whatever they desired. Same with confidently WC or 'chavvy' parents. They wouldn't need guidance from a parenting website. If you need to locate signifiers in an attempt to up your social standing then you are more likely to belong to an insecure class, whatever that might be.
Mumsnet is likely, over all, a mix of every class, but prefers to be perceived as better off (unless there's a housing thread, when all of a sudden all of these apparently aristocratic mums suddenly boast of being brought up on a council estate).
I’m well jealous of her.I had a look at this thread, I love the jealousy threads, there is always at least one poster who says ‘I’ve never understood jealousy, I genuinely can’t get my head around it, I just DON’T GET IT, how can anyone be jealous?’ OK we get it, you are above it! Well done
My god, the snobbery is intense!MN is obsessed with the term chav and the connotations. especially when it comes to names.
Anyway I don’t believe for one minute this poster is from a council estate but they put it in there to justify a stupid post.
8 pages in and MN are lapping it up
Surely you can just reregister?The Tattle codes thread is going wild! As a PBP I can only lurk on MN, but I;d like to think anyone offering codes has seriously vetted the MNer!
Yeah I could but as it is I can lurk/follow threads and hopefully piss off their algorhythm by not responding to reply with whatever they need to make me a full member again. Also means I am not drawn into arguments and have to resort to sitting on my hands in the face of complete twattishness!Surely you can just reregister?
Am I the only one dying to know which parking thread?I’ve been banned twice, once for telling someone to fuck off and generally being a bit snippy with some of the thickos on there and the second time for making up a parking thread when I was drunk one night. I just used a VPN and was straight back in though I think they managed to lose all the banned IPs somewhere along the line.
I do still post occasionally but I find the site annoys me too much. I started reading Tattle a few months ago and a kind member gave me a code so I could join. I much prefer it here, posters on Tattle mostly seem to be able to discuss stuff like normal adults, have a laugh and not be sanctimonious head tilty cunts.
I’ve given away my 4 codes and I interviewed them in depth before handing them overThe Tattle codes thread is going wild! As a PBP I can only lurk on MN, but I;d like to think anyone offering codes has seriously vetted the MNer!
