There are TWO slopalongs happening on the other thread. Beans are being rinsed as I type.

There's also the ASA complaint made by a squig that I'd forgotten about until someone mentioned it today on Twitter. For anyone who missed it at the time , this is about the Google Ad for the Teemill store which said the money was going to the Trussell Trust long after proceeds had stopped going to them. No idea what is happening with the complaint as the squig hasn't posted any updates yet but they did post an acknowledgement and reference at the time, so it is real.
I’ve just been browsing reviews for her books and all the 5* reviews are laid out the same way ( very long, descriptive and wordy, multiple paragraphs each with a space in between) and and the people leaving those reviews are reviewing up to 4-5 items a day with maybe a day or two between review sets. I don’t much about dodgy review systems but I can definitely see a pattern emerging! Compare them to the more genuine looking and sounding 1-3* reviews and it looks even worse.
I can imagine the visit to the accountants..
"Here you go, pal!" As she hands over an asda bag for life stuffed full of receipts, honking just like her kitchen
@Helena Handbasket 
nail on the head with your post. Absolutely spot on; every word of it.
Jack doesn’t deserve the loyalty of her followers, she has done nothing for them.
I liken her followers to Labour voters in Liverpool. Labour have done duck all for years but still guaranteed to get the votes there. It’s an anti-Tory sentiment rather than a supportive Labour one. I think Jack has capitalised on this sentiment.

I have nevrt had a kebab, becasue they look rank and smell 100 times worse, sorry those who like them. Honestly it makes me boal that they sit on the spinny heat thing for hours on end.
I haven’t eaten one since my friend worked in a kebab shop and they took the meat on a stick off the machine when they shut for the night and left it leaning against the wall in the basement until just before they opened the next day
You know there will also be pumble crumbs, hairy lost bobbles and crisp packets mixed in with the receipts.I can imagine the visit to the accountants..

My last thoughts on the ‘being expelled so I can’t go to 6th form’ nonsense. Well yes, she didn’t get enough points to go onto WHSG sixth form. But there was nothing to stop her going to either Seevic college, or to Southend college like a lot of her year did. And if she wanted she could have retaken the exams she failed. My own daughters did their A levels elsewhere as they found WHSG too restrictive and wanted to do exams in a more adult setting.
and on the topic of the Slopathon. You’re all disgusting to try this! So it’s no thanks from me!!

What's this economist from the FT doing at the BoE press conference and not our Jack?! Is she too busy chasing up with Asda Exeter after a twitter user notified her that smart price maize snacks are out of stock today? 
Any excuse for Chris mate.

Dear Heart. I Hooted!
No wonder the TT had millions left in the bank last year, they seem to be the default charity for would be fundraisers
. I just had an email from Amazon updating me on how many helpful votes my review (last year?) for Tin Can Cook has got now. Must be lots of people reading her reviews atm
That happens a lot! People bring a bin bag of receipts, often unreadable, but only half the bank statements and no invoices.I can imagine the visit to the accountants..

Does anyone else fly into a blind rage at how Jacko words things? I've been lurking here for ages and reading the ridiculous second hand baked beans "recipe" and one of the steps is "rinse the sticky sauce"... and I dunno... it made me want to throw things!
She has such a wanky, feathery strokery way of wording things. I try to just criticise her grifty ways but my god I can't deal with her wording.

Guten tag, frauen. I'm back from my slopalong challenge. I only wasted 120g long grain rice, 3 tbsp peanut butter, some caster sugar and 150ml or so of milk (plus broccoli for garnish, obvs).
Can you imagine if those ingredients mattered to you and you were placing some kind of faith in her depressipes (not quite TM)?
It was a hoot doing it, but now I'm just cross. And if I ever read the words "scant teaspoon" again, there will be consequences. WARNED.
Send doggos.

Do accountants not charge extra for that?
For my accounts it's a quick data export from the company account, every transaction is in a category and with a description. Takes me an hour to go through to check and calculate how much tax I think is due before sending. Then accountants usually question one thing and it's all done the next day.
To be fair, one of Jack's four grandparents was an immigrant so it's only natural that she'd struggle with English.
I know we're not really meant to directly communicate with squigs but someone needs to link TD to the slopalong
In case anyone wants any ideas for Jack's recipes, I'm posting the list of her recipes from each book in the slopalong thread. If you need any recipes just tag me.
I honestly don't mean this unkindly, but it's like they called up Central Casting and said 'Send us over an "economist from the FT" type, please'What's this economist from the FT doing at the BoE press conference and not our Jack?! Is she too busy chasing up with Asda Exeter after a twitter user notified her that smart price maize snacks are out of stock today?

I've mentioned before how totally enraged the 'two fat cloves of garlic' makes me. It's the wannabee-Nigella voice coming through.
