OMFG my hands are itching too
I found these comments under one of Jack's tweets. Everyone ignored them as per usual 
same we look on the website they have a list then throw in some sweets and things as well kids may like
I’ve had Asda Smartprice ketchup before, although not recently. It tasted like cheap tomato soup and the consistency wasn’t far off either. You’ve probably never even tried it have you, Jack. Or you did once, for the lols, then chucked it away. Charlatan.
That post is chef’s kiss. I obviously enjoy the tax payer narrative so am sitting waiting, gently, patiently.
Right, thank you, I was going to mention this! Apart from the fact that those pies are what people eat in Viz or something the range of foods used by people in larger towns and cities is far beyond her understanding.
My brother in law would consider the fridge empty if there wasn't half a goat in there, and I do mean half a goat, so canned goods for him are going to be wildly different to, for example, an elderly Jewish lady.
The food bank I do deliveries for has notes on people's preferences and allergies etc, the idea that this could be anything other than a fairly loose idea of price increases to illustrate a trend is absurd. Forensic indeed. Good lord.
Did you add the bit in brackets as a reminder to Jack to not use any in her next recipe?
Autographed tinned prunes.
She’ll have someone’s eye out if she’s not carefulHate doing this?
Aright, Pinocchio
For those who suspect that Jack isn't fully cognisant with the Terry Pratchett opus outside of the bits helpful squigs type out and send to her there's a pretty big indication here that your suspicions are justified.
I tend to donate things like sanitary products, micellar water, moisturizer then a few treat bits - nice biscuits, box of chocs etc. My thinking is that most people will donate the basics and I think it'd be nice for someone to have something to enjoy rather than eat out of necessity if that makes sense. My local one always asks for feminine products and skincare stuff but obv depends on where you are/what they ask for. Best to contact them and see what they need!
Oh and also, lads, re Rachel the very sweet doc, she's the absolute epitome of "blue ticker taken by JM" - she's lovely 
but is about as far removed from poverty as it's possible to be.
If you told her all people raised on council estates had webbed toes she'd spearhead a campaign to have surgeons roll out training dealing with it.
(I don't have webbed toes btw, I'm just saying)

I thought the index was just her shopping list.
OMFG Jack. You're so beyond basic, Asda Shoeburyness don't even stock you.

I've been racking my brains on this, I wondered if she meant our world? But the city name would be more appropriate. Detritus could take her in an intellectual challenge. On a hot day.
