feels like there should be some kind of forum rules for the mods to intervene on these posts. They’re egging each other on in worrying eating and exercise habits. Maybe the mods could post some links to BEAT?
They won't even post NHS guidance on chest pain on threads where the person has got symptoms of a possible heart attack and posters are telling them that it's just anxiety. They're not going to pick up on the pro-ANA posts because they form so much of their site traffic on pretty much all the boards.
I remember a thread where the OP was pretending to wring her hands over the fact she was an academic and that the plumber she 'employed' was probably awfully self-conscious about being her inferior. I LOVED the posters who scrambled to point out that he was absolutely bleeping coining it compared to her and if anything he probably felt sorry for her
It is. However I find it to true! Without sounding like a total head, I went to school with mostly upper-middle class, upper class and even elite class (through no fault of my own, I swear
) and the most thrifty, even to the point of being downright scruffy were richest. My mum used to say to me she couldn't understand having all that money and not enjoying it. Then again my mum grew up frugal out of necessity which is why she couldn't get her head round it.

Reminds me of that posh chocolate thread with all the posters trying to out do each other on their taste in chocolate. A proper upper class person would probably be scoffing after eights and drinking gordons ginI remember a thread where the OP was pretending to wring her hands over the fact she was an academic and that the plumber she 'employed' was probably awfully self-conscious about being her inferior.

Oh God I can imagine, 'I would only consider merely sniffing hand-poured custom crafted chocolate from Belgium made from 99% Aztec cocoa beans, flown in on a private plane and given royal approval, but oh, I wouldn't eat one how common!'
This is spot on!
‘How much homework do your dc get a week’
well OP my dd are at GRAMMAR school and get approximately five hours a night which they squeeze in between county level sports practice. To be honest I am getting fed up with the multitude of requests for them to model too as although they are vair beautiful, clever, popular and witty, they don’t have time.

Those dieting boards are absolutely awful. The amount of posters that are obsessed with not going over the magical 1200 cals a day - despite the fact that (for most people) this really isn’t a long term and healthy way to lose weight.
There was a post on the relationship thread a few days back. Poster had been shagging her new guy but he wasn't able to climax so she was looking for advice.
The MN brigade all congratulated her on finding a guy that didn't make the sheets 'icky'
What the actual duck!
Imagine if it were the other way round and a poster was saying she couldn't orgasm. Her partner would be accused of gaslighting and being manipulative and she better get her ducks in a row to leave
On a slightly different note the middle class uniform posters are giving clothes brand suggestions. Lots, thankfully I'd never heard of. There is one called Cabbage and Roses and yes it's a tit as you would imagine.

Sadie Dress in Organic Navy Linen
The linen used for our Sadie dress has been organically grown, and dyed a beautiful dark navy. The lined loose bodice is attached to a beautiful finely pleated full skirt reaching approximately ankle length with side pockets. Wear sleeveless for warm days or wear with a Cabbages & Roses cropped...
Is looking Amish on trend then?
Or a milk maid circa 1800

Diana Coat Dress in Organic Pink Stripe
A lovely summery coat made from organic cotton with a fine pink stripe. The empire line coat is fastened with double breasted buttons at the bodice, with bracelet length sleeves for high summer elegance. Un-lined for summer weather and for ease of care, a perfect coat for weddings or every day.
That Cabbage and Roses outfit with the hat reminds me of the dress and hat Maria wore in The Sound of Music when she first goes to the Von Trapp house
Why would grown women want to dress like Anne of Green Gables?
I just love how they will always try to outdo each other in every way.
For example someone will ask about how much toilet roll they use in a day. Then will say they use around 2 as they have kids and a husband.
One user will reply with they only use 1 roll a week and only need 1 square per person a day, and if you use anymore than that you’re using too much, you will destroy the toilet and just throwing money down the toilet.
Then another will chip in and say they use 12 a day because their family wipe their arse every 5 minutes to ensure their hole is sparkling clean.

Nah, Lidl or Aldi. No one notices when it's in a cut-glass decanter inherited from your great-grandfather.
Clean arse Olympics.
