She does brew 2.5 litres of tea at a time in her slow cooker, it'll take a lot of teabags, that.

I've thought this for a while tbh ,it wouldn't surprise me if it's SB's choice as well ,maybe the last straw was the Go Henry debacle (theorising m'lud)
I would love to go on a tour like that. My sister lived in London when I was a teenager and I would go down every other weekend to stay with her. I am sure that much of his tour would bring back real memories.Thank you! You're not that old, I'm just foreign.
By the way, a man I used to work with maaaaany years ago now gives tours of secret gay history in London. He is probably of a similar vintage as you, and reminds me of you in some ways, dear heart - a very sharp mind, and a man who can discuss extremely serious topics with wit and warmth. When all this madness is over, I hope you can take a little trip and enjoy one of his tours.
(On topic: Jack would probably not enjoy the tour, as she seems convinced that "lesbian" is a personality trait.)
If you can find his tour details DM me.
I agree that Jack wouldn't like it. She thinks she knows everything about everything. What could she possibly learn from someone who lived it? She has no doubt read a book about gay history, so is now an expert.
Well, I sure know how to pick them. Didn't mean to derail the thread, was just feeling frisky.
I hope Mr Harry never finds out about my alter ego here. He is neither Ian Hislop nor an old queen in a sink - not quire sure what he'd make of it all.
Jack can only dream of content like this.

YOU How do you even do that? I have just peeled one (well I had to try didn't I?) but failed miserably.
I need to go to Aldi and get some satsumas now. You've all influenced me again.
Just scrolled right back on her IG. So. Much. Tat.
137 pieces of cutlery? Whhhhyyyy????
ETA that’s not a charity shop. That’s her house

I had no idea people had kitchens like Allegra (and Jack's knock off) until I ventured into an upper class person's house for the first time when I was a student volunteer on a historic and v. prestigious project
Dear cabal, I was SHOOK. The Volvo was full of crap ("But darling you will need an estate car when you are older for your tools, your dogs and your children) and she had NO CUPBOARDS. Everything in her house was piled upon shelving. Trying to help her cook for the evening gave me such fear that I would cause the Jenga construction to topple at any moment. If I recall correctly I drank too much wine and sat on a dog that was under a pile of cushions too. A couple of years later I helped house sit in a sort of fancy farm (I think they were also in the film industry) and woke up to a peacock squawking in my face. That cottage was full of random stuff too like animal skins, empty picture frames and musical instruments including in every bathroom.
In other news I feel a bit Jack-esque as I decorated part of mine and Mr. Kebab's house with pictures of us through the years (Half my bloody life)
Even if some of it is from charity shops / generous puddles, that looks like hundreds of pounds (at least) of cutlery.
She can’t possibly be using even a fraction of that, can she?

Could she apply for the Stacey Solomon programme where they put all your stuff in a huge warehouse and only take back the stuff you really want/need...like an intervention!
Jack wouldn't be the slightest bit interested in gay history. That would require her to listen to the stories of others, and she is only interested in her story and having people listen to her. I can imagine if she went on such a tour she'd actually be a bit disruptive, as would struggle to listen to someone else speak for so long without interrupting in some way.
That's not even nice stuff either, utter tat.
Why does Jack have all that shite when most of the slop is ladled onto the Sophie Conran Portmeirion dishes that she bought for her housemate
I spy some kind of pot pourri pomander. How quirky!
It does explain why she hasn't the time to clean them before cooking food in themWhy does Jack have all that shite when most of the slop is ladled onto the Sophie Conran Portmeirion dishes that she bought for her housemate
Maybe that's why she has to deep clean 12 times a day, the first 11 times were a tit job!!!
I was utterly astounded first time I saw this. Racks and racks of crockery that wouldn't look out of place at Goodwill. Then you remember she claims to have moved umpteen times...how?! I have moved 5 or 6 times in my life and purposely keep belongings low because even when you think you have nothing, just wait until you have to move house with it. The moving job here is enormous, all that furniture she has! The amount of just...stuff! It's a professional movers job for sure, and they don't come cheap!!
I spy a poll for the next thread!!
And one of those flower holders for gravestones.

Were photos 1 and 3 taken on the same day, or are these meant to be separate shopping sprees?
