It's amusing that they call the site Mumsnet Towers, like that's its actual name, rather than a tongue-in-cheek reference to the mumsnet HQ. So, despite being utter made up dross, the article had the minor redeeming feature of providing me with a millisecond of mild amusement.
Yes. Its the twitter handle for MN HQ too. That they couldn't even be bothered to check they got the name of the site right suggests that not a scrap of attention was paid to fact checking anything. Its a brown m&mhttps://www.insider.com/van-halen-brown-m-ms-contract-2016-9 …

Interesting! I hadn't seen that before. I shall now be looking for situations where it's appropriate to use the phrase, "It's a brown M&M"
