Err. If Jack was in my kitchen it would mean she'd broken into my property so I'd be calling the Po Po. Regardless of her Celebrity Squad close protection status.

I'd be telling her to wash her grubby hands with proper antibacterial handwash and hot water.

They have yellow sticker stuff all day at my local Asda but it’s usually weird bits and pieces that you’re unlikely to have on a normal shopping list. It’s not a great strategy to rely on yellow sticker stuff as it’s unpredictable. Also, the discounts aren’t that good nowadays, so buying value stuff likely still works out cheaper.

Instead of wandering around like they’re extras in a Romero film, did it occur to any of these shoppers go and ask a member off staff where the stuff was moved?

Yes, I agree. It did make me wonder though, and I don't know how these things work (because I'm 40 and knackered and past the point of caring about the latest tech), but do you think her publishers/agent etc now have alerts set up on their own devices so they see everything she's posting as it happens and can intervene that much quicker?? Before they were probably happy to just let her get on with doing her thing (whatever tf that is!), but after the last few weeks, maybe they're in damage-control mode as she continues spiralling.... just a thought. As I say, I wouldn't have the first clue about whether you can set up alerts for that sort of thing. The obviously-not-written-by-her apologies seem odd though and i think the diabetes one at least, was fairly quickly tweeted after the squig revealed they carb-counted for their diabetic partner. I think the turnaround to "I've been meaning to do some diabetes focused recipes for ages" stuff was only about an hour I think. Hasn't it taken much longer in the past to rectify these ridiculous situations she's getting herself into?

No because that would require thinking and besides Jack has the answers and is going to save us all.

My daughter went to our local Asda ( in the deepest darkest NW of England) a few days ago, and said the yellow sticker chilled food had been moved to a cabinet in a different area of the store. Why doesn't Squig just ask a staff member? Why am I even asking? Send brick wallos to bang my head on.

I don’t know what the canal is getting so amused about. Whenever I’m in the supermarket and can’t find an item I always leave, return home and ask a very minor celebrity on Twitter where the item might be found in a supermarket they’ve never been to. Doesn’t everyone do that?

Jack? Insisting on transparency? Well golly gosh.

Yup. In local Asda they've run short of so many lines that they're forever condensing and reshuffling things to conceal this dearth of productios.

I would be reaching for the garden hose on a "rapid fire" setting and to hell with the decorating I'd need to do.....

Well Jack's been to HoP and we all know she can sniff drugs out.... how patronising though money = lack of brain power. That must make her a billionaire then.....

How many pumbles do people want to bet on the diabetic recipes appearing?

I’ll make 10 if she sends them to the squig

Local Asda has NOTHING marked down to anything like tempting levels, and also nothing I'd ever actually buy, marked down at all.

When some posters were making her recipes, I considered making the Pumble since my kids will eat anything for pudding if I stick custard on it. But the instructions are absolute gibberish and don’t even match up with what’s in the photo. So I don’t think the Pumble was just designed as a concept rather than an actual recipe.

'A deranged blog who got upset over a crust on a dessert recipe'. Do they mean....
PUMBLE???
How can anyone get mad at pumble. Its so original it needs three spoons. One to smash the hard as fuxk crust, one to lap up the juice and the other to repeatedly smash into your eyes so you no longer need to see the abomination.
Now that is special

I don't care if they call me deranged, I stand by what I said: pumble has nothing to do with a crumble and the name is stupid

The words 'smoke' and 'crack' really shouldn't be anywhere near a professional twitter account. Unless you're the CEO of Crack Smokers UK or something.
