The thing about tile shops reminded me of the Grace Petrie song IKEA. But I'm not sure Leicestershire folk singing lesbian has the same ring to it as West London Lesbian.

I have friends who work for HMV. What’s the issue. They were going bankrupt, shut certain stores and then were bought out and have been doing better. My friends like working for them.

Doddery old dear

This is so true ! I'm a lifelong fussy eater since being incarcerated in a "sanitorium" as a 14 month old baby (polio) locked away from my family for months. I even hide mashed up carrots in my Shepherd pie so I cant see them !

I’m sure it’s been discussed before but newspaper sanitary towels? About as real as Toothpaste For Dinner Man. Talk about a recipe for a chaffed chuff.

Honestly, she’s just exhausting.

I once (more than once to be honest) used the free newspaper to wipe my bum. Was it because I was too poor to buy toilet roll? No, it was because I was caught short and the toilet in the Arndale was out of paper.

I once nibbled on a cube of jelly to stave off hunger. Was I too poor to buy crisps or chocolate? No, I was peckish and couldn't be bothered to go and get some.

I once used coffee compliment (remember that?) in a cup of tea. It was disgusting. Was it because I was too poor to buy milk, or too lazy to nip to the shop?

We can all give examples of where we did stupid or horrible things that could indicate poverty, even though that is not why we did them.

Jack could possibly have done all the things she mentions, but it's more likely she did them for similar reasons to me.

Also that SB was well past the formula stage regardless. And I would literally starve before I ate food my baby needed ffs. She’s the queen of hyperbole.

Yeah I mean if it's even remotely true she's literally taking food from the mouths of babies #foodhero

As a former HMV-er if you were in the pension scheme or the share save scheme, you got rather shafted, particularly if you were close to retirement age and a store manager salary or above. I left just as they were buying Ottakar's in 2006 when the shares had had a bit of a boost from the failed Permira takeover bid, so got very lucky with the timing on exit, but my pension with them is in the Pension Protection Fund and honestly I don't think it'll ever get paid to me because I reckon the PPF will be gone in 20 years. It was a fab place to work most of the time though, I was in the stores and head office over nine years.

Same!! My god did she really think this was deep and meaningful??? Is she TWELVE?!?!

Jack my sweet summer child. Private enterprises going bust is not the same as publicly funded services being underfunded. One is part of our democratic social contract, the other is not.

Jessops going bust is the free market economy in healthy action, discarding things that the consumer no longer desires and offering more useful and more desirable things in their place. You know Jack, a bit like people used to think your recipes were useful and desirable. But then they tried them. And realised they were foul slop. So bought a Miguel Barclay book instead.

Still can’t believe the £5k shoe figure that’s 41 pairs of £120 shoes. It’s not like anyone is even looking at her like this, has anyone ever seen a tweet of anyone coveting anything she’s wearing? It’s all divorced dadsTM who’d shag anything?

Amazed she’s spent a decent 3 bed deposit with light reno amount of money on trying to be a good middle class adult.

And neither are like the Holocaust, which the original poem she's referencing is about.

Of all her sub Adrian Mole efforts this 'poem' has got to be the most Moleish.
'Then they came for Jessops, and I did not speak out, because I did not work for Jessops'.
Hilariously terrible.
