It has a low ABV yes, less than 0.5% which I seem to remember got it banned for children in part of the USA. Orange juice can have a similar abv potentially. I don't know any people in AA so not sure what the stance would be on Fentimans etc but if she/they won't drink Kombucha then it should be a no to fentimans as well.

Dont wish to triangulate myself but big fan here. Saw them live for the Millennium. Holy Bible one of my fave albums ! XHey!! Your tag workedI love to meet a fellow Manics fan. I feel like we are thin on the ground nowadays
The threads are moving at the speed of light, I can't keep up anymore!
As a pauper Frau, my life from 70s to early 90s was spend in various guest houses and bnbs as guests of the council along with other vulnerably housed families and lone adults down on their luck, recently released from prison, moved for safety, young mums, etc etc
Have a feeling I have written about this already but the houses were generally beautiful old houses with zero love in them. Communal areas were cheaply put together, woodchip wallpaper and the landlords were, without exception, nasty mean fuckers.
Everyone who lived there was either vulnerable or predator.
Shared TV lounges, cheapy cheap cheap breakfast cereal, some landlords would do fry ups and roast dinner and try to Shag your vulnerable mum ( mostly with success)
Being not allowed into your own home during the day with no money and nowhere to go is the pits.
Seen very vulnerable people with learning disabilities treated like this and just roaming the streets or hanging out in the launderette when not in their daycare.
My recollections are old.
With the dearth of social housing now and the increase in social issues I can only imagine these places have become worse for vulnerable adults and children
.hope she never achieves her dream of supporting the council by setting up an actual haunted hellscape.
In lighter news I'm a recently diagnosed ADHD Frau so obviously I am now the resident expert on jack and neurodiversity in general.
Looking back at prediagnosed me to the me now I can confirm I have been an hole at times, I generally felt terrible about it, never knew where it came from and always felt such deep shame and self loathing.
Since becoming an adult, gaining more insight into how to behave like a decent person has been invaluable.
Getting the diagnosis really helps me to see when I acted out of character and did things I never understood #reactivefrau.
I don't see the diagnosis as a reason to give myself carte blanche to be awful to people then blame it on my ADHD, chronic pain , trauma etc and I will work doubly hard now to listen to my brain when I'm reacting to slights/ perceived slight and work out how to deal with it better. Knowledge is power not a reason to absolve yourself of adult responsibility.
This has been my mid morning soapbox
The time now is 39 minutes past three or one hour and twenty minutes to five (, partridge voice)
Glad I was a le to join the thread in time to see my Easter bonnet.
It was bleeping horrendous and anyone who aspires to be an HMO landlord is likely to be greedy narcissistic Tory bleep.

Women with ADHD - diagnosis in adulthood
Wondering if anyone has experienced this. After a few events last year I faced up to something that has been on my mind for a while and contacted my doctor about a diagnosis for ADHD. I was struggling at work and at home and when I was faced with performance reviews and risked losing my job I...

I'm not really a fussy eater but I literally would not be able to put that undercooked pork or slop anywhere near my gob. I would have to make my excuses and leave like NOTW reporters in the olden days.
If she's so desperate to make meals for people at a guesthouse why doesn't she just get a job as a cook in one? She can't stand the thought of working
wasn’t it a bed sit tho
Let’s not forget she bought fresh broccoli at Asda too.
Well wherever they came from (magic puddle?) they weren’t on the stocktake either.
the balance of probabilities tells me there is nobody who would set up a direct debit for one pound a month. Jack is a liar. A barefaced liar. I wouldn’t even be surprised if she added this additional layer recently, knowing people are onto it.I’m sure it’s notoh dear she was telling everyone that her patreon's are paying a pound, and a £12 a month er pops up, wonder how many other's will speak up
Was she incapable of covering the placemat in foil?
Probably. She didn’t manage to put the kitkats on without covering them in her fingerprints.
The Fentimans thing is really bothering me. They are expensive tonics and mixers and that is entire post is about her performatively creating cheap AF drinks. But she doesn’t does she? She goes out and buys probably the most expensive ones (other than the ones that are AF gin etc) out there. She is so disingenuous it is breathtaking.
Is it done on purpose; a cake supposedly made by her when she had people round, cheap drinks stored in expensive bottles? Is she trying to be found out?
WFK? Where is the granola?
What an absolutely hideous prick she is
But why make it up weeks in advance? The fizz will be no more, and those look like glass bottles, can’t make out the writing, but no cheap pop came in those
I can’t stand belly pork after it made me feel very ill once. I realise it must have been poorly cooked as people go mad for it butWhat.The.duck?!
Why does she slow cook beans ffs?!
Why does she serve gravel?
Why does she think that pork is cooked properly?
no thanks. Also, where did the belly pork come from, is it on the list?
Apols if someone‘s already asked this (Easter Sunday morning grunk here) but are those just KitKat fingers rammed round the outside?
Also, “I didn’t have a cake board”. Isn’t this her ‘job’, or at least the thing she thinks is her job. She’s got plate after plate, bowl upon bowl, spoons until the end of time, but no cake board? I smell something odd (although that could be the cake).
Jacks family seem to prove a theory I have developed after looking after various wealthy families.
Gen 1 - makes the money, starts the company, sacrificed a lot, usually works hard, might have a fairly nice house, but still keeps involved and has always worked. (Usually v nice people remembering harder times/working class childhood)
Gen 2 - might remember a childhood less well off but did private schools and had the trappings of wealth. Got brought into the company to take it over - lives in a v big house, flies first class, all the perks but doesn’t really do that much work apart from being the director. Often sells company and makes proper money. (Often have v superior attitudes)
Gen 3 - always been rich, private school, zero work ethic, expects to live off dividends - terrible relationships/drug problems - Grandad is trying to get Dad to put money in trusts so they can’t waste it. (Usually entitled arseholes)
Its an extreme form of wealth creation and distribution. Gen 3 spaffs it all away and gen 4 - poor SB is less well off than previous generations.

Checks notes….Chocolate orange fudge cake?
This cake is rank btw. I’ve had it.
Fentimans bottles, which say BOTANICALLY BREWED round them.
premium brand bottles which would not be part of anyones £20 shop.(£16.49 for 12 bottles/250ml)
ETA: I was grunking and should have known that there would have been 100 Miss Marples before me who would have spied the Fentimans bottles.
