Famous writer lol. Yeah, she's up there with J K Rowling. Potatoes is second only to The Great Gatsby in terms of the greatest things ever written in the English language as perceived by the general public.
"In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me a piece of advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since:
Buy tins because they're cheaper"

I’m 4 pages behind but just seeing the shopping list and I have only one thought.:

Save me Lee Anderson, you’re my only hope!

How she can post a full cupboard full of food and do a performance £20 shop and they all bow down is just horrific!

Sorry but I’m being slow tonight - why ‘Boo, I guess?’???
''Boo'' translation = ''YES! IT'S ME, FAMOUS WRITER JACK! I AM HERE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. I KNOW IT MUST SEEM LIKE A DREAM, BUT YOU REALLY ARE STANDING NEXT TO THE FAMOUS WRITER THAT IS JACK MONROE. YOU CAN SWOON NOW.''

Edit: Fraus, a chaos has happened. I seem to have implied that Famous Writer Jack was both 'in front of' the cashier and 'standing next to' them. Is this an example of Schrodinger's Jack or is she just very fast-moving today?

And Jack goes “well, this is narcissistic supply, not really coz it didn’t happen awks, it’s a me! Everyone clapped etc etc

Imagine you had the choice (allegedly) of being at Glastonbury in the VIP area, enjoying Billie Eilish with Billy Bragg - and instead you spend the evening lying on Twitter for attention! What a life!

It's the *long pause* that makes it great.

🔺️ My mother once stood at a train station next to Heston Blumenthal. She looked at him. He gave her a smug look like, yes, that's right, it's really me, are you impressed? So she asked if he was Harry Hill.

Same energy here.
