Can't believe you have enough optimism left in you to think that they wouldn't.

Given that my parents are M*il readers I'm hesitant to quiz them on their Stomrzy knowledge, purely because their opinion of him is likely to be based on that article.

Fuck's sake.

I suspect she knows who Stormzy is because she reads the Daily Mail!- they launched a scathing piece about him because he attacked Tereasa May over Grenfell and also expressed his low regard for the Daily Mail itself:

 

Mail responded with their usual bizarre/ racist attack on anyone of colour who makes a critical political statement, ('they' should be 'grateful' to this country):

Can't believe they still pump out this s*** in 2018

 

Where are you from? England mate. No, where are you really from?

Fucking Daily Heil.

I'd text mine, but she's not down with the kids enough to have a mobile.

Someone needs to do a poll on Mumsnet for a definitive answer.

I’d text my mum, but despite her texting back she’ll then immediately call me and I won’t be able to get her off the phone for half an hour while she tells me all the stuff she told me yesterday.

I'm not setting foot in there.

I've bitten the bullet and texted my mum.  I await her response with no small amount of trepidation.

Are we brothers Woffy?

Mumsnet is a frankly terrifying place. 

Makes this place seemly cuddly and and mutually agreeable.

Text your mum and ask her.

There's only so much information about my aunt's bad back I can handle on a Friday

My mum is a recently retired, lifelong relationship counsellor.

It’s fucking horrific.

[Mardy]

I’m 46 and my Mum is pushing 70

I'm already debating whether or not to get my parents to watch the brits and regularly update me with their thoughts

If you can get them to watch it with @morph100 I’m all for it! 

I’ll be posting Mrs Woffy’s ranty observations as per.

I'm thinking we should set up a new section of the forum for efesters' Mums to post.

[Sasperella]

Managed to actually text my Mum this time:

To be honest, despite having all these screenshots, I've got no fucking idea what any of it is actually telling us.... Mumsnet would definitely just add to the confusion

[Glastocat]

I can guarantee my mam doesn't know who Stormzy is, no need for a text. What I can't believe is how many people are using the term mum, It's mam ffs.?

My Mum’s called Shirley. 

So I call her that instead of Mum.

To which she replies, with a “...but don’t call me Shirley”. 

And I’ve been cracking up at that for 20+ years and she still has absolutely zero idea why. 

[Northern Soul]

My mother is a member of the Women's Institute, I would bet the national debt of the USA on her not knowing who Stormzy is.

How to make Jam? Yes.

Who Stormzy is? Nope.

Just as a little foot note, I'm frankly appalled at the lack of kisses on some of these screen shots. Always a kiss to my mum on a message, and always one back. @Mardy full marks sir, 2 kisses?.

Don't bet, text her and find out.

My mum offers opinions. And she’s 80.
