I can see what you're saying. I've compared both posts side by side and although the content is similar in tone (unknown male being inexplicably inappropriate, with a slight undertone of threat) the grammatical and punctuation errors don't match up. The "ambulance" writer frequently misses apostrophe marks and commas, and adds extra full stops. "Tesco" writer, on the other hand, has almost perfect grammar and spelling - but interestingly is using backticks instead of apostrophes, something that only became apparent when I pasted both posts as plain text into a Notepad document.'How to have handled this man in tesco' comes across to me like it's written in exactly the same style as the poster of the inappropriate ambulance ride thread from yesterday
Just something about the writing style, the language and the fact that they are complaining about another person again
To be honest, as someone who is owned by a couple of extremely nervous rescue cats, it is annoying when people randomly pre-empt and just decide to rogue with a box of Standard fireworks. We’ve had them here on and off for a week now. The cat flap is shunned in favour of a comedy cat shape cut out through the door in the haste to get back inside and the air is thick with Feliway. We do have tablets from the vet but you can’t give them retrospectively. So, i’m not furious about them, but my heart does sink a bit when I hear an unexpected fizz bang.As we come to the end of the Halloween posts (AMERICANISMS!!!!!) its reassuring to see the start of the ‘Furious about fireworks’ threads, complete with women babies, terrified animals and people with PTSD.
It’s like it just appears unexpectedly isn’t it?
No thanks. They can stay there
I named my cat Caligula. He was an absolute loon when I picked him from the litter. Best. Cat. Ever. I felt it was apt to name him after a mentally ill psychopath dictator. Definitely Tory material.
Reminds me of Mr Tumnus from The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe!
Nooooo they’re off the Mumsnet chocolate list because of PALM OIL. They all only eat that Tony’s one now. They love that. They’ll say things like ‘even Cabernet and Walker has gone to the dogs, and I could weep at what they’ve done to Lindt. We only buy Tony’s now, which is very reasonably priced’I feel like green and blacks is quite middle class
it’s the only chocolate i eat but not because it’s specifically middle class

God forbid anyone question why childfree women (or - god forbid - MEN) would decide to join Mumsnet. Guaranteed bun fight.The childfree board has been renamed. It's now 'MNers without children' and they're angry. I still can't get over how entitled it was to demand a board on a parenting site. One outraged poster asked whether MNHQ would rename the site, considering THEY have to be inclusive now
