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?

It's not really against the grain, its more against logic and common sense (the paper I mean) lol

Scones.

Could start a major incident on GN.

We were left in charge of three of the grandsons on our family holiday last year. When we went to check on them they were playing gladiators and brandishing a toilet brush each above their heads. They’d never seen one before.

We didn’t think their parents needed to know. grin

I think that it depends on what you are ‘on’
I’m always on my iPhone (Safari) and I have never had the 🐄 page.
I have had it however on the rare times I’ve used my lap top (Google)

Oh god, yes!

DH said he heard something the other day on TV - a woman claimed it was jam first in Cornwall because Cornish clotted cream is thinner and more runny than Devon clotted cream and would slide off! 😲

Having thoroughly tested both, I would dispute that.

The second link works, thank you Calipso - it's a slightly different page. The first was page3 shock

Never met a scone I didn't like, although fruitless sweet scone is a bit of a disappointment. Rectified with loads of butter, or jam and cream.
