This #Mulberrytruther chat is reminding me of when I used to lurk on the Rosie Londoner threads on GOMI years ago. (She has a thread here too - I think she's mellowed a bit in recent years but she used to be a nasty piece of work) She liked to portray herself as Kate Middleton, so was always trying to make herself seem much wealthier and more upper-class than she really was. She bought herself a fake Celine bag (confirmed as fake by the knowledgeable GOMI posters who could identify that the stitching was wrong etc) and staged a photo shoot of her parents 'gifting' it to her as a Christmas present - wrapped up in wrapping paper, big fake 'surprised' grin. Meanwhile, her brother's Christmas present was something much less of a luxury item. Some time later, people found her selling her fake bag, with others, on a designer reselling site.

FWIW, I think Jack's stupid enough/secretly wealthy enough to have splashed out on a real Mulberry with her first book money.

Ahh, haunted by my past screenshots! I'd forgotten the shimmering glow of the teeth and hair, so thanks for that throwback, TS

Oh no, this is turning into a Mumsnet thread. Gasp! Expensive bags! Why would anyone buy one when carrier bags exist!

People buy designer bags because they can afford them and it brings them joy. Different strokes for different folks and all that.

To be fair if I’d come into money in my early 20s there’s a high chance I’d have blown a lot of it on tattoos and...

I would have fucked off somewhere for a while, I quite like the idea of work travelling.

I would have probably done something very sensible, like bought a house, and let some of the rooms out.

In some ways, being young was wasted on me.

Are we still doing yeet? And ooop? I think they’ve had their time but I await Fack yeeting something in a curry as confirmation.

There was an argument of whether the past tense of yeet should be "yeeted" or "yote", for some reason. Obviously it should be "yeeted", but if you want to make an argument for anything else then "yet" makes more sense than "yote".

Just seen a meme on the meme thread showing Gucci doing ripped tights for 990 big ones. Just leaving it here incase she wants to invest.

They are really heavy, and hold loads so you can feel like you might tip over when you swing it on. I once tried to take my laptop in it to work, my shoulder went a bit dead.

Open up the sides and you can fit in three branded pint glasses if your shelves are looking a bit bare and the pub has some good ones (empty of course) which is never in their adverts.

I do like that they don’t seem to gift things ever.

BBC London News are doing a thing about Rashford. A South London school have commissioned a mural of Rashford. They are interviewing people and doing VT on the FSM malarkey from last year.
Jack hasn't been mentioned...

Tom Kerridge is on the One Show, chatting about Marcus and cooking in a kettle. We'll see if they mention their 'working behind the scenes ' buddy...

If they did deliberately sideline her then she will be raging as she can’t start a pile on against Marcus as everybody loves him.
I do think she will probably pop up on full time meals at some point though!

Apologies to those who are into their bags but i just don't get spending 100's-1000's on a handbag. Or indeed shoes. I have lots of shoes none designer though. I culled my cheap shoe collection to about 50 recently. I only ever have one functional big bag for work & small one for out (RIP my beloved little beaded black satin number gifted to me by my best friend, 15 years of going out before the beads all fell off last summer).

For me it is definitely a single mother pov thing. Food in their mouths, clothes on their backs, roof over their heads, all before any spend on anything else. Spunking £800 on a handbag was and still is beyond my ken xx

I'm grunking but....genuine question. If your company is struck off, then surely you won't be able to call yourself Bootstrap Cook?
And wouldn't that raise awkward questions.
Edit to add: instead of Bootrap Cook, would it be Shoelace Cook instead due to the Pov (TM) circs?
