So once you've been a GN member for a whilte, been around the block a few times, you'll have witnessed some feeding frenzies on controversial topics.

Some of those I remember from yester year are:

* Baby milk shortage (being bought up and sold overseas)

* Boris Johnson (at one point praised for his intelligence, yes, really!)

* Jeremy Corbyn (a real Marmite character)

*Anything to do with trans issues.

What are some of the topics that have caused metaphorical fisticuffs that you remember?

Clothes, there’s a real ding dong from time to time.

I remember a barney about sausages. 'Good butchers sausages' I think is a quote LOL.

Artificial grass

Dog sh*t

Small packs of peeled ready vegetables - rather than to a sack of spuds

Golly bloody w*gs - that innocent childhood dolly

To name a few!

Does anyone admit to wearing leggings, having a tattoo and likes sausages? grin

Yes, lots of people, including me! I find leggings easier to put on than tights and wear them tucked into boots with dresses. Sausage, mash and onion gravy is delicious, and so comforting in this weather.

1st two yes, although the tattoo is not noticable day to day, it is on my back and small.
The sausages I can take or leave, I only eat them if I have a full English out.
