Potatoes are the food of the gods - chips, fries, roast, mash, jacket, sauté, dauphinoise, hash browns, potato croquettes...

I need 12. At least.
Also saying '10 potatoes' is kind of misleading because no one roasts a whole potato, we cut them into pieces, so how many potatoes is 10 roast potatoes? It's probably the equivalent of eating two jacket potatoes and I would definitely do that 😂

I don't actually count my roast potatoes, or anyone elses, because I'm normal, I think that poster needs to look at her relationship with food before it gets worse!

Crisps, wedges, waffles, those little cubes I forget the name off, lattice fries, curly fries, baked mash...

You're right! Ten potatoes is probably roughly about 4-5 potatoes. Which I'm unashamed to say I could eat in a decent roast. Not to mention as the poster above mentioned, potatoes are so great in nearly every form.

I simply cannot imagine being such a complete and utter bleep as to bother my (not so) pretty little head about whether organisations (NOT govts) offer discounts to anyone, whether they be benefit claiming rum, OAPs, small children or even warthogs. Is there a discount for me - yes please. Oh no, I am not entitled to it for whatever reason, so be it. I'll pay if I want to/can, if not <shrug>

I'm hoping all these disgusting threads are Justine's henchwomen frothing things up for clicks. Otherwise it's really hard to believe there are so many such horrible people in the world.

God, they are a load of bleeps on there!!
They really are bleeping abhorrent, I don’t understand how such a large group of people supposedly mums can be so utterly repugnant and they all do it, when any dissenters speak up (usually two) then the snakes all jump on them too.
They are bleeping vile and I pity their children growing up around such vitriol, they won’t be allowed any weaknesses.
It’s also disturbing that traditionally a majority of mumsnet posters are teachers, and so many posters have such disgusting views about kids with SEN , about parents who worry about their kids’ safety or comfort etc
All jokes aside, It’s a truly terrifying window into the dystopia our society is becoming

Knowing a few people in that position, I do have sympathy for the people who earn just enough not to qualify for (much) government assistance but who still don't make enough to do much more than just get by.

However, I rarely hear those people whining about people who do get help, and since most Mumsnetters claims to be in double six figure income households and taking six holidays per year I'm not sure what they've got to complain about???

I don't know how to become a hairdresser so I could be wrong but I thought hairdressers were quite highly educated. Isn't it about 2 years to become qualified plus other courses to go higher up or learn certain things to specialise it? They use chemicals, mix chemicals, need to know about skin conditions and allergies, the actual cuts, what equipment to use etc customer service skills, quite a lot of hairdressers are self-employed and that's a whole other load of skills they need. So I always assumed hairdressers were intelligent, they're certainly intelligent in a way I'm not because I wouldn't know where to start doing someone's hair unless I specialised in making people bald.
I’ve no idea if my hairdresser likes Love Island, trips to Dubai or gets Botox. Liking those things doesn’t make someone less worthy than anyone else.

What I do know is that she’s only in her mid-twenties but has a thriving business (so much so that she’s having to find a larger salon), works her butt off and supports other young women with training and apprenticeships. We usually talk about her plans for the salon and what books we’re reading…

I can think of worse role-models for young people - mumsnetters for one!

Thanks to this I've looked up a load of places I can go with my son cheap or free because we're on UC. I'm his carer, and when he's not at his day centre (paid for by the council, so all your taxes) I like to find places to take him.

One of the places also offers a 50% discount on food in the cafe, cakes galore! Not only are the mumsnetters paying for the tickets they are paying for us to get DObese. Fabulous!

Proper Italian breadsticks. Not the crappy manmade ones from the coop .
Discovered them in a lovely little pattiserie or whatever the Italian equivalent is, off the beaten track, her one year old crawled there on his bare knees after eurorailing alone around the world with just one nappy, some backbone and a healthy sprinkling of resilience .

He's at least bi
Their interactions with each other are awkward
She's horrible to him
They're wealthy but not good looking
He's not a grown up yet
He seems a bit gay
I wouldn't say they're good looking
Two talentless people who got lucky
Can't say he's attractive
Not good looking
Lavender marriage and neither are good looking lol
Just because people are rich doesn't mean they're not trashy...


Also Mumsnet

Tattle is an awful website where people are horrible about influencers, it's the worst website in existence and it should be banned.
