I was shocked when I heard a woman relating an encounter with a complete stranger who asked if a child was hers. On being told that she was, the stranger added something along the lines of it was lucky she wasn't ginger like her mother. This seems unbelievably insulting and rude on several levels but not, as has been suggested, racist.

Are there any red-headed Gransnetters and, if so, do they encounter this kind of extraordinary discourtesy?

Elegran I thought ginger twins resulted from two different people pouring from the same teapot. grin

A different story in a different area, perhaps?

Was the teapot story a euphemism for something else, do you think?

I think it was two women pouring from the same teapot would both have ginger twins.
