While I was reading and thinking. I remember some if us on here said that her food looked like "shop bought" food.

Imagine being L or her kid and being called for dinner and choking down whatever and then when her back turned chucking it in the bin and seeing the boxes and bags of would it could have been.

Plus in the U.K. don’t we tend to have solicitors that do different things? Like one might specialise in family, and be no good at civil litigation, or the like, then one for contracts/ torts and so on. I don’t think there was a kind of solicitor that does EVERYTHIIIING.
Unless you're in a soap, and then there's one solicitor on the square/street who handles everything from murder trials to business deals and divorces.

If there were a smol lawyer that does everything, do you think they introduce themselves the way that Jack does?

Maybe Jack thinks she’s in a soap? She definitely has main character energy & definitely isn’t in reality a lot of the time.

I went through some of her blog recipes a few months ago, and I swear, everything that was a) not vegan and b) not immediately veganisable (eg swap sausage for vegan sausage) had a "watch this space! Vegan version coming soon!" She is the queen of overpromising and underdelivering.
ADHD isn't even an excuse for this - she should make a note of every recipe she makes, and put it in a visible place/make a google doc or something so she knows it's a pressing task. Unfortunately the Queen of Slop has no time for us lowly mortals, and we have to catalogue all of her unfinished ideas for her!!

Oh no I have done a chaos. What am I at, bringing up soaps when I haven't watched one since the time Reg and Maureen got a waterbed? (Jack. That's what I'm at, that was a real Jack plot twist.)

Jack belongs in late 90’s, early 00’s Hollyoaks. She’d be the student who tried too hard to make friends and eventually kidnaps them and force feed them slop whilst working in the local cafe squirrelling away yellow stickered food and stalking Delia Smith.

“Jack, we can talk about this please!? I...need to get back to...my family.”
“I’ve made you a carrot and hazelnut ragu with a mincemeat crumble and you didn’t even invite me to the Traffic Light party in the Loft!”
“You said...it would be remind you...of your Grandad.”
“My Grandads dead!”

Jack’s lawyer when he’s not so busy, “I’m sorry, I’m just checking my notes... then they started theorising on which British sitcom you would be best suited in?”
“Yes my lawyer.”

Jacktopic - Jack, anything to add that David Cameron might have been trying to do some under the table dealings? Are you hoping that Prince Harry will share Prince Philip’s BBQ tips? What is it like having a fruit named after you?
