I didn't mean she's getting paid for the playpark phone call, it's just that that same day, a couple of hours before, on the way back from Edinburgh, she must have stopped off at Manchester to be on the telly. I forget what the TV segment was called but it was all in the same day. It's the only reason I can think why she would go to Manchester for filming. But of course, being Jack, she does it once and then acts like it's a regular occurrence.

Yes sorry, my fault!

Attack in public, apologise in private. How very convenient.

Pleased that Andy Lynes says more takedowns are in the works - he's been onto her for a while.

I think he's just referring to Katie's rather than suggesting there's another in draft.

I think the grammar school perception might be regional as well as relatively few areas now actually have the 11+ system and people just don't understand it.

Up here in the North West, a lot of schools that have kept grammar in their name are actually private schools (Kirkham Grammar, St Anne's Grammar) and so the association is very different. For kids to take the 11+ they'd have to specifically seek it out and then be willing/able to travel miles to the nearest state grammar school (to Blackpool that seems to be in Lancaster - there's a state "grammar" near Preston but that doesn't have an entrance exam and is just a fairly regular school that's kept the name as far as I'm aware). The implication of going to grammar school here is very middle class, a working class child is vanishingly unlikely to be able to access it.

I know that's different where Jack is but I only know that because of Jack and seeing the references here.

I have to say I sat and passed my 11+ in the NW BUT that was a few, ahem, years ago. At the time the school was for locals, there was not this rush to buy a house in the area etc and I would say the majority of the people in my class were working class, a couple with very dodgy parents. However I understand they now have two sittings for the exam; one of locals and one for not local. The absurdity is that they have an allocation for each and so you could be local and get a higher mark than an external and they would get the place if their allocation was not full. IMO that is wrong. As for Jack I think she was probably what somebody in my school did and transferred in in the 2nd year after sitting an exam. Parental idea I think as she certainly struggled.... we also had some transfers into the 6th form and they also had issues (more to do with the style of teaching I think).

This is simply one of her (rare!) lacks of due diligence, she reviewed BBC Broadcasting House (London) 2 years ago per Google. Jack's also been to BBC Essex.

View attachment 1540664

Might just be me but leaving a review for somewhere you went to (notionally) work seems very odd, I mean who gives a shit what the Google review score is for BBC Broadcasting House or the Pan Macmillan offices or whatever. Seems kiss arsey which makes me think if she'd been to other offices further afield she'd have left reviews, which she hasn't. Only the ones in London and Essex.

Might be just me, but do you leave feedback on other comments on Tattle?

For some reason I had assumed the CCJ' she talks about would be from a long time ago.

And I can also confirm that the address attached to this is most definitely not "a shi77y bungalow"...
Although the former address does show as a dormer bungalow.

(it's public domain information - but obviously I'm not sharing exact details)

I had to read that about ten times to check the date.

Has she been on Twitter all day?

Are these endless hours posting nonsense counting towards the “100 hours a week helping the poors”?

Damn you Courtney Love. Can I suggest a more appropriate 90’s band with a female lead singer:

Bloody love that, get it on the play list

Look on the persons timeline for their entire part in the convo. It’ll give you an idea what they were talking about and we might be able to piece it together from there.

I think it was something to do with the 3p Lee thing and daubeney but I think he may have also deleted something as well as Jack as he didn’t say anything offensive from what I could see

How do you mean feedback, likes? My point was just that Jack does appear to visit offices close to Southend, so I think her NBH spiel is bogus too.

If it's relevant, I was fine with the feedback! I think some of my above post was incorrect anyway as I didn't know the Broadcasting House in London is called 'New'.
