That is amazingly FORENSIC and I have no idea how you’re keeping track, but a minor correction
View attachment 1612557 She has 2 roberts radios AND six DAB digital radios (the digitals are the radios in every room tuned to the “room appropriate” channels). So 8 radios/radiae

For anyone joining at this thread, every single Cotswold company piece has been photographed and posted online by Jack- evidence matching up her posted pics with those items on the Cotswold site is in the last thread. None of that is conjecture- it’s all there, posted by Princess Pov.

ETA 🥕
Thankyou forensic fraus I've updated the list. I will spoiler the list itself now as it's getting quite long.
We're well into house deposit territory with the discretionary spending we can think of off the top of our heads 🧐

I.... I don't know what Downpipe is. Am I downpipe?
Farrow and Ball paint colour, it's a very dark grey.

Re the Emin, I seem to remember it was 🔺 in an earlier thread and found to be a limited edition print produced for the 2012 Olympics, but I could be wrong.

And as a freelance transcriber (double 🔺🔺) her transcribing with background noise may finally be my aneurysm!! But to be fair, I can see why she would transcribe an interview. If you're writing a piece it's far easier to pull quotes from a text document where you can search easily for a word to get the exact quote than it is to go forwards and backwards through a piece of audio trying to remember when the interviewee said something.

And to be clear, I think we all realise people need furniture. But spaffing how ever many £ks on duplicate high end pieces whilst pleading poverty is the point being got at.

Furniture in houses is allowed, FMs may stand down.

Exactly, £11k on Cotswold Company sideboards (ok ok and a £850 dining table) is the definition of discretionary spenny, not that there's anything wrong with that in itself. But as far as I'm concerned as soon as you get to "£428 on fancy knobs" the pov cosplay is out the window, and that's the first item.

bleeping hell. If that's classed as high end Art, I get why Jack deems her 'Onion' as something special.

So Delia on Peston ~is~ talking about kickeyball management a little bit, also that she doesn't understand politics but doesn't like politics and now Peston has asked her about her plan to reform politics. 🤯

Ooooo frugal food book being discussed.

She's out of her depth but holding her own.

Wonder if buggerlugs was on the short list for this one?
She'd never take on the legendary Delia with accusations of 'stealing her niche'.

Delia would kick her Mediterranean arse into touch after a sniff of the empty Angostura Bitters bottle. Where are you? Where are you? Let's be 'aving you! COME ON!

Excuse me, but WTF is with all the magnetic spice holders on the side of Le Fridge? Fine dining establishments with three Michelin stars don't have that many spices in their kitchens. That excessive display just screams "tell me you don't know anything about cooking or recipes without telling me that you don't know anything about cooking or recipes".

I LOVE Rob Ryan. His book,... "This is For you" is so beautiful. Little snippy bits of paper telling a love story. It's the only artwork I have in my studio

Don't they all go off after a while too? Pointless having so many if you don't use them regularly.

In the list of purchases does it include those horrendous steam punk clock leggings? Worn once.
