I want some 100% cocoa chocolate. Why is it so fucking expensive? 90% stuff from Lindt is like £1.50 per 100g. 100% stuff on the internet is about four or five times that.

Cunts. Even the 99% stuff from Lindt comes in a package that looks identical to the regular stuff, but when you open it you realise there's only 50g instead of 100g in there.

Price of cocoa probably? Over doubled in price in 10 years.

World Woman's Day inviting casual sexist comments from media outlets and social media.

If it was World Man's Day and men said anything close to what's been trumpeted today, there would be a shit storm.

Doubly amusing when you consider some of the harshest things done/said to women, are by other women.

Comes back to the old saying "I don't try to understand women - women understand women, and from what I can tell they all fucking hate each other".

John Lewis tantrum toddler: Was store right? - BBC News

Fucking children crying in shops because they are spoiled little bastards and their parents are too useless to do anything about it.

16 months isn't "spoiled" its a toddler. Problem with this story is there's no indication of how long the kid was crying for, but kids cry, especially toddlers, and John Lewis staff were flat out wrong. You go over and see if you can help, not throw the mother and child out.

So you have to be a parent to find screaming kids annoying? Got it.

I have four nieces. One sister is heavy handed and keeps them in check, the other is shit at discipline and lets them run riot. Two nieces are terribly behaved in public, the other two are respectful. See if you can work out which two belong to which parent?

So yes, I agree; the buck stops with the fucking useless parents.

No, but to know why they are having a tantrum and anything about the parent's abilities from that story it might help.....

You remove them from the shop and calm them down, not just stand there grinning like a fool as your special snowflake irritates everyone else.

Not at all. It's the "because they are spoiled little bastards and their parents are too useless to do anything about it" bit that makes you look like an idiot (this time). We know precisely fuck all about the context, yet there you go jumping to conclusions and brandishing all parents of crying children useless. Some children are just cryers, it's not always a reflection of bad or overly lenient parenting.

I'm sorry, I must have missed the part in the article where they described the parent as 'grinning' while this happened.... I'm being pedantic, Raven, in reaction to your sarcasm. I actually get annoyed at screaming kids too, but I don't go around passing off possible explanations as fact when I wasn't there, don't know the kid (whether spoiled or otherwise) and don't know the parent (useless or not).

"Fucking children crying in shops" is fine, "because they are spoiled little bastards and their parents are too useless to do anything about it." is not, in my view.

Are your nieces 16 months old?

Inb4 - OMG Breastfeeding in public lol?

Parenting 101 - If your kid starts throwing a tantrum for what ever reason, you ignore them, you carry on with your business.

Doing what you suggested - Leaving the shop until they calm down is possibly the worst thing you can do, they learn they can throw a tantrum, and you'll leave the shop - exactly what they want you to do.

John Lewis was absolutely correct to apologise, they completely undermined the parents.

There is a great big chasm of a difference between whining bratty children and a child that has a tantrum.

Tantrums have nothing to do with how good a parent you are.
