I decided to add the vintage train slip to the series of Jack Fell Over photos.

Jack fell under a train:

Squig: Thank you for all that you do, Jack. I know your life is tough living in the shitty bungalow. I hope this £50pcm donation goes a small way of making things feel a little bit lighter for you. I'm sorry it isn't more, but it's as much as i can give from my meagre Universal Credit payment.
Jack: ignore.

It all provides further proof that the woman is a total fantasist, where did Jack get the fucking floor plans from?

Not sure where this will land as I've got some grunking to do, but couldn't resist adding my two penneth, for what it's worth.

Ghoulish aspects of this article aside...
“Three stories of a local methodist church”
The use of USA spellings in reports by a UK writer irks me, far more than it should, I know - although I do realise in this particular best-selling author’s (cough) case - it’s probably just a spelling mistake.

"Between us all we hold decades of service, encyclopaedias of chemical information, forensic knowledge of building structures and escape routes"
You were a call handler - I doubt any of the above was part of your job description, and therefore doubt you had any forensic knowledge of such things. This is, of course, just speculation, but tying yourself into those decades of service is a bit shallow. I believe you were there less than 2 years, is that correct? As a call handler...

The photo of her in the uniform, from a day training event. It doesn’t make her a firefighter.

“I’ve seen a lot of fires” (unnecessary expletive removed) - so have I, doesn’t make me a fecking firefighter.

What a despicable human being she is!

I did 3 weeks of training and 2 weeks supervised work before being set loose on the Scottish population as an NHS Call handler. Can confirm there was no passing out parade or even a party. Much sad. Do get to wear Traazers though, so there is that!
Edited for typos...why do I make so many when typing tattle posts?

I have a fireplace in which we have a fire during the winter.

Ergo, I've probably seen more fires than Jack Monroe.

Where are my traaaazers, Chief?

Also enormous Spaced vibes from the paintball scene:
Other player: You've seen combat?!
Mike: Yeah!
Player: Where?
Mike: On TV

I read this part just now to my husband (vaguely aware of her, no idea about Tattle, doesn't use social media, etc). His reaction: "What?"
Exactly.

I threw a wet tea towel over a frying pan that had caught fire. It put the fire out.

I have probably fought more fires than Jack. Am I a firefighter?

I once used a fire extinguisher to put out a fire at work, as part of my fire officer training. Am I a hero now? Yes, yes I am.

I've had health and safety training. I mean, they just gave me a document to read and I signed it, but technically that still makes me an emergency worker. Constant vigilance x

I once threw a tea towel I’d set alight on the hob into the washing up water.

Not all hero’s wear capes
