Harry Corbett created Sooty.

Harry H Corbett was in Steptoe and Son.
OMG that is HILARIOUS. What makes it even better is that Harry H Corbett adopted the “H” in order not to be confused with the Sooty man.

Sorry… a Seamaster watch?? Am I reading this correctly?!! Is it the case that Jack received one of these as a gift from her parents at some point or do I misunderstand?

I grew up fairly poor myself, but can’t deny my family are now probably best described as middle class. I have a professional qualification, and currently have a pretty good job, albeit an interim one, and would say my partner does too, both our wages being above average.

I nonetheless consider those kind of watches to be a luxury extravagance that’s probably still slightly beyond us unless we were being really very generous to ourselves or each other. You get those or give those, when you have a lot of money and can afford to splash out.

Jack’s parents gave her one of these??

I had my drink spiked on NYE 1996 and Jack's story actually rings true to me. Funnily enough I also suspected the barman. I won't go into details but something awful happened to another girl that night and i was so lucky I headed to the loo instead of going outside.
Drink spikers have a special guillotine in hell reserved for chopping their bits off.

Went to Tesco with No 2 son a while ago. He’s 6ft 3 and spent a lot of the time getting stuff off the top shelf for people. He told me that it happened pretty much every time he went shopping.
Mr Beds gets this too - though he’s smol at only 6ft. It doesn’t help when he by chance is wearing a stripped shirt with said supermarkets colours so people (mainly OAPs) assume he works there, never fails to make me smile .

Back on thread I keep getting this ad, wonder if Jack has noted their details in case a back up lawyer is needed?

Again I'm way behind and apologies if already addressed but we also have those receipts here... x

Why would she be banned from the audience of Piers Morgan life stories. It’s not that interactive unless you are a close pal or a family member of the person being interviewed

Good find.

Complete nonsense, of course. How funny that it happened the night before she had a job, which she then had to cancel...
I was thinking the same. She does love an elaborate excuse.
Like when she cut her foot before one of the Hellmanns shitshows. (I’m not sure a single one of those things started on time - some weren’t even on the scheduled day). What an absolute pantomime that was.

No she didn't.
Claimed she was expelled because she stole a scalpel just before GCSEs. Simultaneously claimed parents knew nothing about it and also begged school let her sit exams.
2 school friends of hers have been here separately and said this is bollocks.
