I thought gravy browning was beef stock, and caramel is melted sugar? Whatever you do don't confuse the two on Bake-Off!! Quite. Don't want to get the soggy bottoms confused.

You also ignore the fact that she appears to have been single ever since giving birth up until the end of Mamma Mia. So that's a grand total of three sexual partners in what, 20 years? Most likely she picked up an STD and couldn't have further unprotected sex.
Sorry but I have no sympathy or empathy for someone who is such a slattern.
Even if your theory is correct and from the entire THREE men she slept with she go ALL the STDS in the world (It's possible, granted but statistically unlikely). Even then, she could still have sex you know? Most STDs are treatable, and given she was pregnant she was likely under a Doctor's care quite quickly and treated anything else she picked up. She could then quite happily carry on slutting around on Greek Islands as long as she liked. Except she didn't. Because that's the film plot.

They would also stain their legs with gravy browning (which is just caramel really) I thought gravy browning was beef stock, and caramel is melted sugar? No, no. Gravy browning is purely for the purpose of colouring insipid looking gravy. There’s no meat in it. It’s made from burnt sugar i.e caramel.

, fun fact, I didn't know that Me neither. Guess I was thinking of Oxo not Bisto or something. Funny how sugar can colour meat juice. We live and learn, and never say this board is anything other than educational. *snigger* meat juice. What? it's Friday, time for some tone-lowering

It’s made from burnt sugar i.e caramel. And even though it's made from sugar, it's horrible in custard. As I found out when I mixed up Parisian Essence with Vanilla Essence in my Year 10 cooking practical. And had to eat it so the teacher didn't realise I'd stuffed up.

It is really interesting that despite the film being released in 2008 they couldn't have Donna loving life and men in 1988 because it was all safe sex/scary AIDS 80s so had to say it was set in 90s.

My unpopular opinion is that I think gender self-identification is going to get horribly exploited by men trying to get access to vulnerable women. I heard that if a woman wants to self identify as a man to claim any aristocracy titles then this isn't allowed, but there seems to no limit of men, who appear to be men (transgender are different but there is a whole other conversation on why and what gender even is) to infiltrate women's refuges, changing rooms or toilets (which are already limited and too full for women).

Well as much as I disagree about Meryl being a 'slut', I have to admit to a fondness for the word 'slattern'. I use it regularly although I am indiscriminate as to what gender I direct it towards. It's almost as good a word as 'strumpet', again I'll happily direct this at any gender. But if Donna has only had sex with three men in 20 years and picks up an STD, you'd have to say that she's pretty unlucky. No wonder she would prefer mincing around Greece in a pair of old dungarees.

I thought ‘slattern’ meant dirty/untidy. (Fun fact - ‘slut’ used to mean that too - they probably have the same root.)
No problem being a slut (in theory - in practice chance would be a fine thing) but I think I’d take umbridge at being called a slattern.

I think they do, my dictionary suggests that a 'slattern' is a dirty, untidy (I prefer 'slovenly' myself) woman or can also mean a woman who has many sexual partners, for pleasure or payment. Or indeed, why not both?

Ooh we’ve learned about gravy and sluts today! Surely there’s some crossover niche market there ...

Slag though. Says it all, works everywhere, both genders.
In the north you can have Pauline Calf saying “oh shurrup Other Pauline you’re nowt but a bleedin’ slag”.
And in the south you can have Phil Mitchell saying “get your ‘ands off my wife you slaaaaaaag”

Get in there, insult them, get out again. Isn't that always the best way? Leave them wanting more. I jest of course. Working class people are smashing. The Help wouldn't be The Help without them. I love working class people. So long as they don't ask for a day off. Or a pay rise.

This appears to be an increasingly unpopular opinion: being an asshole outside of work/school should not lead to people contacting your employer/school and trying to get you fired/expelled.
Yes, the world would be a better place if we were all nice and respectful to each other all the time, were never rude or angry or impatient, and didn't call each other bad names. But we are all human, we all have bad days, and we're not all nice to each other all of the time.

Is that happening? I mean I've seen it when people have used racial or homophobic abuse but that's more than simply being an arsehole surely?
