I remember once someone said whats the difference between Lily Savage or Dame Edna and the modern drag queens and said that was different. Yeah right Paul O’Grady used to tour the toughest pubs in the U.K. as Lily, swearing like a trooper and giving shade right left and centre before TV found him and turned him into a family friendly, dog lover. It’s exactly the bleeping sameThey’re kicking off about Ant and Dec being in drag
But panto dames are fine
I agree, but something about that thread just didn’t ring true. I think it was made up.I have to say that I feel an adult drag entertainer with a sexual stage name and with an 18+ content website (if it’s true, although the op seems prepared with receipts) is not appropriate for a primary school.
I think it’s a troll. They’ve got limited posting history & a ‘word+numbers’ username, but they’ve a thread about a dodgy fringe that made it into the press, and I think they’re trying to score another news story.There’s a story about thousands of pounds being found inside a patchwork quilt bought in a charity shop. I don’t think it’s a troll, it’s an employee of MNHQ who has made this wee tale up.
I read the start of that thread and found it hilarious; those carrots that the op is so worried about will be sat in a communal bowl with all the other fruit and veg that gets sneezed on, coughed on, touched, licked and even bitten in to before being rejected and put back in ready for the op’s child to choose! I work in a school and would love to give them the low down of how gross kids are, the unpeeled carrots should be the least of their worriesThere’s currently hundreds of mumsnetters having a breakdown because they’ve found out schools don’t peel the carrots they give to the children. The children are all going to die from e-coli and pesticides.
I used to pick carrots from the garden and only give them a rough wash under the tap before eating them raw. My mum worked on the same principle of common sense as her own mother - "got to eat a peck of dirt before you die". She used to live in Iran in the 1950s and noted that the European children ate local food with normal precautions such as washing food and hands and were fine, whereas the US children who had everything doused in disinfectant or flown in from the USA were always ill, having no resistance to bugs. Mumsnet would have hysterics.I read the start of that thread and found it hilarious; those carrots that the op is so worried about will be sat in a communal bowl with all the other fruit and veg that gets sneezed on, coughed on, touched, licked and even bitten in to before being rejected and put back in ready for the op’s child to choose!

Omfg!Oh, Christ.
Somebody plopped a 'my 3 year had his leg amputated, Ask Me Anything' post and then ducked off. Apparently, because there are elite athletes in the world, this means he'll be fine.
