Mermaids (and the woman behind it) is very controversial isn’t it?

Grannybags Fri 01-Apr-22 09:57:40

You fooled me!

I thought a Harry Meghan and Trans thread - what could possibly go wrong... grin

Tina49 Fri 01-Apr-22 10:04:51

Could only be trumped by a suggestion that Andrew be the next King ???

Sparklefizz Fri 01-Apr-22 10:25:09

Haha! Fanny Love it!

FannyCornforth Fri 01-Apr-22 10:51:38

Very good, Fanny grin.

My heart actually sank when I saw the thread title, and I opened it with trepidation.

FannyCornforth Fri 01-Apr-22 11:02:08

It would be a stonker of a thread wouldn’t it Doodledog?

Anniebach Fri 01-Apr-22 11:08:32

When I read the thread title my thought was ‘oh not more from them’

Hate to disappoint you but that article is 3 years old and it refers to the foundation set up with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

FannyCornforth Fri 01-Apr-22 11:57:57

I hate to disappoint you Blossoming, but Tina49 posted that link already

Zoejory Fri 01-Apr-22 15:20:20

Gosh what an odd thread. I could well be wrong but I think that the article was originally posted pointing out that H & M have already involved themselves so what could have been an amusing April Fool wasn't beyond belief.

Then Blossoming just pointed out that the article was 3 years old but I think that we may have been aware of that.

I'm sure that Blossoming knew the link had been posted earlier and she was just quoting the original comment.

My brow is too wrinkled to even think about this any more.

FannyCornforth Fri 01-Apr-22 17:13:40

Zoejory I just thought of the most contentious thread name that I could think of, (as a joke) and did a H&M / trans mashup.
I’m aware that Oscar Wilde has nothing to worry about and it was a rather weak joke; but at least I tried to raise a smile.
