Jack Monroe #189 Food Crime Pie

[bladiesla]

Octopus energy might have created a 'useful tool', but in a projects I've been involved with (with agile tariffs and battery storage ) they have been shite with the customer service (at least that's the feedback I've been getting)

It still drives me spare that she's ruined denim shirts for me.

I wonder if they checked how many 18-24 year olds are actually in charge of their own utility bills...? Imagine most are living at home / student accommodation / HMOs, not executive flats with 3 showers.

 

[Cookiecookie]

I didn't understand my utility bills when I first moved out of home. I just paid them when they came in, just like my mum used to. If I had a bad week and couldn't pay on time I called them and got an extension. It seems like younger folk are being made to look and feel stupid, not ideal for young people in an already weird world.

I'm just eternally grateful for Google

I grew up in a household where basically anything relating to 'grown up' topics like money, bills etc was taboo for children's ears. So grew up knowing basically jaff all about being an adult. My mum still freaks out when she hears me talking to my daughter about stuff like that, but it's important (although we still need to work on the money not growing on trees, and throwing homework books off the balcony...)

Perhaps that's why they used people for the advert outwith the target audience. I mean, why on earth wouldn't they feature 3 18-24 year olds in it? Bizarre.

Babes, same. (Claws at the floor, then softly, gently replaces denim shirt from Selfridges at the back of the wardrobe and shuts the door).

That can't have been filmed that recently, her hair wouldn't have grown back that fast yet from the troll doll man bun thing she's had of late.

Some one needs to ask her how to budget a five week hotel stay in their finances.

Yeah, it's good to use her hair to chronicle what time period this was. I think she last had it this long around February, before she chopped it all off again?

ETA -

& she refers to him as 10, so it’s before she went on a 5 week holiday over his 11th birthday.

Really hate that she shares so much on him that I can write that.

 

[Captainmouse]

At some point she was wittering on about some work, but then we heard no more, maybe this is that?

 

[indigomoon]

I'm just dreading the day she is the first person ever to discover Doc Martens.

 

[Sideboard Bob]

Octopus Energy?! LJC, @traumatised sideboard ’s gonna be fewmin.

Oh we’ve had doc marten jack,I am sure someone will find the receipts, I think there was a pastel pair recently

Eugh. Really. I stopped taking any interest in her for a while.
The denim shirt thing is the worst though. Even when I see someone who is stonkingly HOT wearing one, I get a dose of the jacks.

Her eyebrows too. They've been recently microbladed in the hotel pics, they're completely different in the energy vid.

We rest our cases, m'lud.

Why is she in it she's not 18 or 24.

 

[MancBee]

Still no endorsing of Marcus and Tom. I know she said there was no time limit by when she should tweet about Full time meals, but this is ridiculous.

Also I think all most most people need to know about electricity bills is that you use less, you pay less and that things that generate heat, like a boiler, iron or electric heating are the things that really increase the bill. They are just using her large platform to market their grubby electricity and she being paid to pretend to give a duck.

 

[Readingismyhobby]

Perhaps they were basing it on mental/emotional age?

Jack's terrible at that bit.
