If you're someone who turns to hibernation during the winter, fear not! We have a solution in the form of electric blankets, heated throws and many more furry warm things

Mouse farts

(ok, I admit I changed the order!)

While this thread has been started.

I have been puzzling over the gransnet logo for many days.
I can see that the woman on the left is holding a baby. But I am all confused about what is on the front of the lady on the right.
[apologies if this has been mdiscussed before on gransnet. I havent been able to see that it has?]

Do you know op, or anyone?

She is holding a banner. On her front is just shadow.

soontobe Thu 27-Nov-14 22:13:45

and the baby's arm?

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 27-Nov-14 22:13:48

It was discussed at length when GN started. No one really likes it. It is very reminiscent of wartime! hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 27-Nov-14 22:14:11

That's the mum's arm.

soontobe Thu 27-Nov-14 22:14:43

I am never very good with the "what do you see" type puzzles.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 27-Nov-14 22:15:08

You can't see the baby's arm. Just a stump really. [shrug]

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 27-Nov-14 22:16:13

Actually, it looks quite Soviet Union!

soontobe Thu 27-Nov-14 22:16:24

I will leave the subject be!

Cowardy-custard. grin

I've never studied the logo before. Hadn't noticed the baby blush

Nelliemoser Thu 27-Nov-14 22:59:28

Me neither!

Is the granny holding the banner sporting a tattoo? shock

FlicketyB Fri 28-Nov-14 07:43:37

It looks very 1930s, before my time.

Anne58 Fri 28-Nov-14 07:50:42

Tattoo? Where? confused

soontobe Fri 28-Nov-14 08:03:12

On the crease of her arm??

Brendawymms Fri 28-Nov-14 08:05:15

I think the 'tattoo' on the arm is supposed to show the crease of the elbow of a VERY muscular arm. Very Soviet 1930's worker.

Nelliemoser Fri 28-Nov-14 08:31:35

I like the logo. It shows women looking a little militant, not knitting grannies with a rug around the knees.

ninathenana Fri 28-Nov-14 09:06:23

I was going to post about the tattoo merlot smile

POGS Fri 28-Nov-14 12:48:04

Do you know I've never really given much thought or even noticed the couple with a baby at all. How strange.

It does resemble a propaganda poster use during world war two somewhat. confused

Ana Fri 28-Nov-14 12:56:32

Better than the Mumsnet one which looks like a giant spider! shock

Nonu Fri 28-Nov-14 13:24:52

I rather like it, rather COOL!!
smile

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 28-Nov-14 13:43:35

Oh no! I really like the Mumsnet one. All rushing, sort of things. Busy, like young mums these days.

Although it will always look like a spider from now on. hmm
