why is she on the school run? i thought SB gallivanted around fields with his mates after school until dinner time, like a character in a nostalgic american film from the 1980s?
What schools finish at 2.30pm? (Genuinely, child free and have no clue - I thought they finished at like, 3.15?)

Jack has kept receipts for the past 10 years has she? When she lived in West London with Allegra she travelled all the way to ASDA Southend just for completeness. She fed Allegra on bollock sausages and cheap white sliced bread and smart price beans.

I smell something, and it isn't a Charlie Bigham's ready meal.

I'm still behind, but I don't understand how in god's name she can say a kilo of rice at £1.18 is overpriced. How much do you think the rice farmer gets from that? Stop campaigning for cheap food. Campaign for everyone to have enough so they can pay fair prices for food. duck, this is really getting to me. I've lived in some countries where people are truly living hand to mouth. The kind of poverty that thankfully really doesn't exist in Europe. By demanding that we have everything cheap, cheap, cheap we are hurting other people.

you are correct! and i don't know any other parent of an 11 year old who still has a school run, kids at that age usually get home on their own. My own kid would pretend she didn't know me if I showed up this afternoon. So basically Jack is lying to....guilt trip the economic editor of the financial times? who bleeping knows.jpg

My high school child finishes at 2.30pm. He'd rather eat bollock sausages than let me walk on to meet him at the gates.

I hate anyone that says this phrase.

But "I'm screaming" that the economics editor of the FT is now joining in.

Not that it needs that level to know something is up when she's pretending these two are the same item:

So you drank your babies formula rather than ask your rich af parents for help.

Of course you did, Jack.
