If I was a mumsnetter and either a teacher or a healthcare worker, and the kind of person who gives “robust” advice to worried parents, I’d be more concerned about being reported to my governing body than posting unflattering comments about influencers on Tattle.

During Covid, there were so many posters claiming to be either in the government or high up in the health service, giving false information about the pandemic. I’m a nurse on a Covid ward, AMA for example. Allow me to breach patient confidentiality and tell you all about how Covid is affecting people.

If they knew what their kids teachers got up to they’d go ballistic if someone slagging off a dress or whatever has them that irate.

I’ve never posted anything on here that I wouldn’t post under my real name tbf. Doubt many of the mumsnet twats could say the same.

This poster seems to have missed the irony of saying this about a tattle thread about mumsnet on a mumsnet thread about reddit and tattle

Not so much since Tattle has clamped down on new joiners, but I've previously suspected that some of the nastier comments about appearance and weight etc. have been posted by the influencers themselves looking to screenshot "evidence" for their stories.

Clemmie Hooper won't be the only one who's been posting on Tattle under an alias.

On this thread, apart from token teeny tiny @NoddyFromToytown, I think we're all a bit on the hefty side, i.e. size 10/12 and above? Then again, some of us buy our meal deals from the Co-op and don't follow Biwi's low carb bootcamp to the letter.

I read today that BIWI is 65! I thought she was some slender 20 something wannabe influencer for some reason. At 65, I would be more than ready to relax the constipation diet a bit and enjoy some cake.

I’d be phoning DPsychiatrist if my internal monologue set itself free and started posting publicly!

16 a day. I think those family sized trifles are supposed to be shared with your extended family - not just you and your favourite spoon*.

Nor me. I have no qualms about being doxxed because I'm not posting bigoted racist homophobic shit. I also don't think my employers would be arsed abut me having a tattle account, unless I was posting 24/7 when I was meant to be dealing with customer complaints. Oh the joys of a job in telephony! At least it's not video calling and the customers can't see my less than interested expression

Well you can see why they all have these 6-figure jobs can’t you!? They spout such utter shite and everyone at the office is just too polite to say “Sandra, I’ve literally just said that” - and they end up believing in their own greatness. Then finally, some interloper on MN calls them out and they hiss “net mums is that way”.

Oh lordie yes. I bet good old crumbs was in there too with lots of 'medical advice'.

And during lockdown, they were all frontline / key workers. Not that they ever mentioned it, or anything.

'Does anyone have a recipe/ know what time Tesco is opening/ insert inane question - I am a key worker you see and so is my DH.'

Back in the 90s, my partner ‘borrowed‘ a stamped teaspoon from an Air Europe flight and it‘s his favourite spoon. It’s survived through numerous house moves and has a special place in the drawer, and god forbid if it’s missing. A few years ago I took it to work in my lunchbox and actually got texts about it being missing. I think I’ve only just been forgiven.
