Someone popped up here a while back claiming to be a Southend taxi driver who drove Jack regularly.
And not in any way to be confused with someone leaving soap (?) on your doorstep, gladly and excitedly accepted, whilst in no way being worrying or triggering for a smol pixie, too scarred and afraid to answer the door.
got it. also, just pointing out that gold rush is a song on evermore, so we have swiftie monroe representation here too. I feel so validated
I pickle onions with chillis and before giving them out as gifts I ask if the recipient if they actually like/want them. Can you imagine being confronted with that abomination from Jack and you know politely saying thank you, but, no, will cause an almighty melt down. I wonder how much of her gifted stuff gets poured down the toilet or goes straight in the bin.
See I'm all for a home remedy, I have a bit of an interest in alternative health and also nutrition. But Jack picks up a new idea and suddenly thinks she's placed to advise others about it (see also articles about sobriety after 1 bloody week, making kombucha once then thinking she can market it to the masses as a whiskey alternative
). I dont partake in alternative remedies but i am very intrigued by them. I read alot of books about old fashioned tinctures and how some things are used to heal, help or boost ourselves. Currently reading a book called toxic by lydia kang who is a Chinese doctor. She has written some good stories surrounding old fashioned medicine and medical practices and wrote this book about how poisons were used in medicine. Its interesting.See I'm all for a home remedy, I have a bit of an interest in alternative health and also nutrition.

The problem is people, the media in particular, indulge and enable her. Look how she ran with the idea that she could cook and write recipes! Bit short on cash a decade ago, now the voice of wisdom on all things poverty. She just picks up a specialism, a niche, as a new money making exercise, then tramples all over people that actually are placed to advise others, and do have the knowledge and expertise.
DONT GIVE HER IDEAS!
Here‘s the moment the taxi driver pulls up to the threads...
Apologies i quote the wrong book anyway its called quackery by lydia kang. Toxic is her novel i am due to read next. Apologies.
That's actually quite a cool coat.
Has this slop ever been posted? Was scrolling through her (terrible) site and thought it was scrambled eggs at first

And the blurb for Self-Love Stew made me roll my eyes so hard I saw my brain.

One particular journey that stayed with me, purely for it's unique factor, was a Xmas eve where we proceeded to drive round to 3 or 4 addresses on her instruction (after hours) and at each stop she'd get out briefly and leave a wrapped pressie on said person's doorstep. No knocking to say hi happy christmas just the mystery jack santa thing, maybe it was late to be fair, but she insisted it was a tradition of hers. I was like one of her reindeers in retrospect. She was charming and I enjoyed gassing with her. But yeah , she clocked up a good £20-30 fare by the end of it all.
Sometimes? Sometimes?
that taxi driver sounds less Jack and more Eamon Holmes’ cousin
Just my opinion m’lud.Which was ... odd. It's not as though she could have claimed back from expenses, given that her alleged Christmas Eve scampering had nothing to do with her job.
