The very first words in the ad are "Hi, my name's Jack, and this is my kitchen'.

Jesus wept.

Also I just noticed I've leveled up to Active Member. I had no help at all, pensioners yelled at my tattoos while my youngest cat asked for more tuna as I unscrewed my last bulb.

I don't understand why she's got so much worse at, I don't know, speaking?

She speaks quite normally in this. A bit nasal but nothing remarkable, not quavering on the edge of tears. Still a dreary monotone but not unbearable. Sweet smile.

All in all comes across well, like a slightly reserved, bit shy person.

I'm not sure I've ever seen someone get demonstrably worse at their job over time.

having worked in the charity sector previously let me tell you alot of money disappears places. Its one of the reasons I wouldn't be inclined to give to a big charity anymore tbh I have seen what happens to the well intended donations

Yep, her smile is sweet and she comes across ok - like I wouldn’t have thought anything of this ad seeing it now, if I knew nothing at all about her.
Also, what’s really noticeable is you see her eating a spoonful. She doesn’t show that these days - taking a bite of her own food. She just SAYS she has eaten it.

Now she would stand with her elbows in, waving her hands and intermittently leaping and laughing.

Yes agree. I worked for a cancer charity many years ago and was horrified at the expenses claimed. First class travel as standard for many of the staff..

I sold a cushion I had made, to the mother in law of a former prime minister. Does that make me soft furnishing provider to number 10?

Oh interesting that her dad was the union rep - I wonder if he accompanied her to the meeting where she asked for her job back?

Oh god, I'm getting second hand embarrassment at the thought of her turning up at the office with daddy in tow.

It would also be so awkward for her dad and colleagues. I wouldn't but my dad through that. No wonder he took early retirement.

I mean even here she has zero on screen presence and clearly not cut out to be a TV presenter but I think she is much less jarring to watch because she is at least being her true self which is a bit awkward and shy. It's so difficult to watch her try and be zany and gregarious and worst of all, funny because none of those things come naturally to her and it's really painfully obvious how forced it is.

I cant cope! I can't cope with any of it - make eye contact for gods sake, stop mumbling, talk properly, hold your wooden spoon properly. I just cant. Then she added the devil spawn I like to call poo-corn and I'm done!
