...jam rag mean?* :lol:

They're outraged about that, but they've missed the fact it says:
Apples
Rice
Sugar
Eggs
Biscuits

:lol:

They've also reprinted the 'offensive' list. Outrage fail! :roll:

    The Daily Mail? Yes it's a sh!te-filled gutter rag, but unfortunately they keep printing it. A disgrace indeed.

    I have to say though, Sharon kennedy, 26 from Kingstanding in Birmingham sounds like a real catch

    Having done a pub releif in Kingstanding, im sure the words jam and rag should be the least of her worries

    Was that the one who had to cover her son's eyes? :lol: Or the one who had to explain what a 'jam rag' was?!

    People are f***ing stupid sometimes! :lol:

    That's hilarious, I can't believe people actually get upset about that kind of stuff! Also I don't watch Emmerdale, but i'm guessing some of there story lines arn't really suitable for young children anyway...

    !

    She was the eye covering one, seriously, i had to cover the kingstanding pub because the punters had battered him and hospitalised him, not the nicest of areas

    I dont begrudge anyone bringing their kids up right, but jesus how much notice do they go into in their viewing

    If anything Sharon Kennedy, how much TV does your kid watch to be that eagle eyed

    maybe if you did stuff with him instead of plonking him in front of the TV to watch your soaps, then he wouldn't see that

    The kid probably only asked what it was becasue mum pointed it out or made conversation about the shopping list when it appeared on screen!!! I bet they wouldn't have noticed it in the background otherwise!

    That is fantastic! Good for Emmerdale! Whoever wrote it probably thought 'Nobody will see it'

    :lol::lol::lol: I was in the sister in laws while she was watching this, two kids sat watching... I saw the board and decided not to say anything until me and the Mrs left and were on our way home.

    I did a proper double take when I saw it.

    How come parents cant use common sense instead of spouting shit, having a breakdown and telling all on day time TV?

    I just asked the whole office what a 'jam rag' was. I have a feeling based on the looks that I got that it was a mistake... :lol:

    After thinking about it for a moment I think I have a rough idea of what one is. :x

    classic!
    But HOW can people get so wound up about things like that? Even if a very small child did ask, "what's a jam rag"? It's such a vague term, it would be easy to just come up with something innocent to tell them?

    See below.
    'It's not a particularly helpful phrase to refer to sanitary towels as "jam rags" , and it is unnecessary.

    I'm not sure what I find funnier. The fact that someone thought f**k it, 'jam rags' is going on this board, having already put the effort into cryptic messages. Or the absurdly prudsih reactions to it.

    :roll: If my eldest (4) asked me what a jam rag was. Fist off, I'd ask her where she heard it. Then I'd tell her, and I'd also tell her it's not something I want her saying. FFS, it's not like they don't hear worse at school.
    Ours have come home with some VERY colourful language before. You just tell them "that's naughty, and you don't say it".

    I think a lot of kids know more than their parents are willing to accept.
    I remember "look and read" (I think it was called) with this weird floating robot thing called Wordy (man in a suit, basically).
    Anyway, at the age of, roughly 8-10 I guess, when he was going on about "magic E", I just couldn't help but laugh, when they said that E changes the way of looking at things.
    Now, just to make it clear, I'd never taken E at this age, obviously, but I was already aware of it. A fact that seemed lost on the teachers.
