The amount of food she/Mrs J consume(d) in bed is absolutely disgusting. Where's your civility?!
Yeah, I don't understand this.
Sure, I can see how eating in bed might appeal if you live with other people, when your bedroom is the only part of the house that's
yours. And even if there's somewhere there to sit, it's likely to be a chair at a desk or an armchair at best - so if you want to eat in private whilst slouching, then it's going to have to be the bed.
But Jack's got a 140 m² multi-storey bungalow. Even with a partner and SB in residence, there's enough room to have a bedroom each - together with multiple reception rooms, several hallways and landings that are big enough to sit in, a dining room with a 10-seater table, at least 3 sofas, seating space in her kitchen, whatever she has in the shed and other outbuildings, the egg chair in the garden, and on, and on, and on...
Plenty of places to sit and eat - or slouch and eat, or lie and eat - alone, or with others. Why mess up the bed?
