She somehow studied Dickens without knowing about the debtor's prison, the blacking factory, and how those formative experiences shaped his entire life and kept him working even while he was dying, because he was deathly afraid of the money running out?Forgive me, how does one study English to degree level under an “expert in Dickens”* and believe that the poverty of that era is some sort of unspoken taboo?
I think we covered most aspects (including this one) of ‘Dickensian levels of poverty’ (so overused as to be a cliché, Sarah) in P7 aged 10 when we learned about the Broad St pump cholera outbreak. And if she’s interested in Jack The Ripper how can she not be aware of the working and living conditions of 1880s Whitechapel?
She’s such an ignoramus.
*ok, it appears she’s only ever read Hard Times, but I think the point stands.
"Close Condiments"
Is it too late for “You have loads of friends and close condiments” as thread title?
I can’t believe she’s so thick she hasn’t noticed.Is it too late for “You have loads of friends and close condiments” as thread title?
Please tone it down whoever this is, you’re killing me
She doesn't read here and hasn't for some time, so our posts about it won't have alerted her.I can’t believe she’s so thick she hasn’t noticed.
My nana told me all about the ropes. She’s really just a clueless little dickhead.Forgive me, how does one study English to degree level under an “expert in Dickens”* and believe that the poverty of that era is some sort of unspoken taboo?

I think this is my fave!I can’t believe she’s so thick she hasn’t noticed.
Yeh I thought how the fuck have you not heard of doss houses. That's where the expression he could sleep on a clothesline comes from when someone can fall asleep in any old uncomfortable place. And toerag comes from the rags they'd wrap round their battered feet cos their boots would always be hanging open.Forgive me, how does one study English to degree level under an “expert in Dickens”* and believe that the poverty of that era is some sort of unspoken taboo?

The picture could possibly be but the thing wasn't. Orwell also talked about it in Road to Wigan Pier. It was the rock bottom cheapest sleeping arrangement for the completely destitute.Fairly sure the rope picture is fake. Same old story has been knocking around the net for 20 years, even Snopes debunked it. Typical Sar tbh
Laughing at this earlier.She's retweeted someone whinging at supermarket customer service cos she tried to pretend her aldi video was a rallying cry for the hard pressed consumer instead of a bullying Karen who's never provided a day's service to the public shitting on a woman half her age.
Of course she knows what this is! She practically almost nearly got a Psych Masters, DARRLINGG!Laughing at this earlier.
She's retweeted someone who is an 'Observer of the Dunning-Kruger Effect', apparently. Look it up, Sare.
