Changing a nappy on a table that others will eat on and in full view of others eating, is selfish and unsupportable and...unecessary, given nappy changing facilities were clearly marked and available.


Breast feeding in public is fine but should, out of respect for others sensibilities, be done with discretion. I can't see any reason why boobs need to be on full display. It's easy enough to carry a light (or heavy, if it's cold) shawl/wrap that allows the boob to be concealed. On this basis I can see no grounds for objection to public breast feeding anywhere. I can also see no reason why the Mum's who want to breast feed in public should not ensure they always have a shawl/wrap to hand.

I agree... in principle.


It's not always that easy in practise. Babies are wriggly, and have a mind of their own. Mine really hated having a muslin cloth draped over his head and used to refuse to feed and cry instead when I used one. We came to a compromise eventually and I like to think I never gave anyone an eyeful during my time of breastfeeding (not that there was much to offer, sadly), but if you see someone showing more than you might like, bear in mind she might be far more embarrassed than you are.

Moos,


I think if mums appear to be trying to be discreet that makes a lot of difference. It's the -wop em out and I dare you to have a problem brigade- that cause temperatures to rise. I think most of us sense when someone is struggling but trying and, on the other hand, the person who just doesn't give a d.


Asset, you are correct, she changed the nappy while seated at a table. Even so, not really necessary when facilities available, surely you would agree?

The story has been blown up to she changed the shite filled nappy on the table surrounded by people eating, when in fact she did it on the seat in a fairly quiet secluded corner of the room.

I'm not sticking up for her, merely pointing out how the story is evolving.

you'd think spending all that money on a bus ad they'd have some better people on the proofing team....oh

At last it's been lounged!


It is usually the self righteous middle class twits who have plenty to say in public, and my point about certain women thinking they have to make a point is very true in certain cases. Usually nothing better to do mothers who think the whole world evolves around them, refusing to appreciate anyone elses opinions apart from their own.


Lucky i'm not a cafe owner, I would put a huge sign in the window banning all middle class bugaboo loving organic carrot eating women in their 30s from my establishment, make no mistake!

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
