I’ve always called it dinner too and I’m not posh.
Or maybe I am? Who knew!

Tea, dinner, supper all work in this house for evening meal.
The cup of tea/dinner tea is such a source of debate on MN yet I can’t imagine a scenario where this would ever occur for it to be such an issue. Presumably, unless you are at a family or a friends house or have gone there specifically to eat, it’s unlikely that someone you hardly know is going to ask you to sit down and have an evening meal with them. And if it’s someone you do know then surely it’s just along the lines of:
“Do you want some tea?”
“I’m not really hungry, thanks.”
“I meant a cup of tea.”
“Oh, haha! Go on then, I wouldn’t say no.”
“Do you want some tea?”
“I’m not really hungry, thanks.”

“Oh, haha! Go on then, I wouldn’t say no.”
Yeah, it’s not a linguistic misunderstanding that’s going to take long to clarify is it?
There was a thread about how working class people dress their children neat to prove themselves and how middle class people don't care and they were falling over each other to say how scruffy their children were!
Has anyone seen that thread where the OP is saying her ex boyfriend has been accused of rape? Bloody hell there’s so many posters on there who are stating incorrect facts about police procedures like it’s the truth, it really gets my goat because they are so confident about it and it could influence what the OP does. One of the most vocal as per usual is someone who is on every thread and always shooting her gob off about stuff she knows nothing about.
I’ve just noticed a post where someone is suggesting that people breaking coronavirus travel abroad rules should get points on their driving licence. 
One of the many reasons I stopped posting on Mumsnet was gobshites telling me I was speaking shite when I was giving (free) advice in my professional field. You know, the one I'm qualified and experienced in? And actually know what I'm talking about?
totally, i dont bother because youd get some twit following you around the boards no doubt!!
I do admit i only go there to read certain threads now, theres too much i dont like about it!
I’ve just posted on the one where a members mother comes round for lunch and most of the time , including today , proceeds to get lunch there and deliberately rubs it into the carpet with her feet and laughing , today’s offering for the carpet was pork pie ... the thread was pulled but it was called ‘shall I make her pay for carpet cleaner ‘ .. she’s been doing this regularly apparently she’s 63 ... bleeping hell , never mind carpet cleaner this is been going on for donkeys ... she needs mental health assessment and the daughter was more concerned about wether to charge for carpet cleaner ! Oh and proceeded to state it was autistic traits . Jesus bleeping wept
I don’t believe this is true .. bleeping mental

That has to be made up
Now I’m off to have a read...Mumsnet has pulled it to ‘ take a look behind the scenes’That has to be made up
I think about that a lot! My child currently will only wear dresses which means dresses to the park and dresses to the woods and dresses to the beach which drives me bananas but according to MN that makes us middle class!
With a diagram! Any parking posts have to have the accompanying diagram.
I will admit to starting that. Years ago someone new started a parking thread and I posted it was against the rules to post a parking thread without a diagram. I was only joking but it stuck. <proud>
awesome
Just makes me laugh with the whole “name changed, can’t tell you the time of day as may be outing, can’t tell you what hobby we were going to attend, but here, have a diagram of the entire layout of mine and my neighbours house, complete with boundaries and fences”
There's yet another thread on there, with photos, asking posters to guess her age. Silly woman has 1987 as part of her username so it's pretty obvious she's 33. It still hasn't stopped people from saying mid-40's.
I seriously don't get this - why would anyone seek validation from an anonymous forum? Ask your friends, your family, your workmates. Or try not to give a tit about how old you look! It's pathetic attention-seeking. At least she doesn't claim to be ID'd every time she buys alcohol though

I always side eye those posts and think they’re actually posting pictures of people they know that they don’t like, in order to attract hopefully “mean” guesses and commentsThere's yet another thread on there, with photos, asking posters to guess her age.

Yep, I’ve thought that too.
Same. High school was donuts, crisps, pop, cakes and chocolate all sold in the canteen. Same at lunchtime alongside the school dinners which were chips with chips and a side of chips
My primary school, I can't believe I remember this, you could get 2 biscuits..plain ones like malted milk, nice or digestives, and a cup of diluted orange for 30p.
I just remember one boy who must have been lactose intollerant as when we had milk time he would have a juice drink like a capri sun or something.
