That article in the Grocer claims that Jacks works prompted the ONS to trial changes to their collection methods - I thought this had been debunked.
The article strings a lot of things together. It spends a lot of time praising Asda initiatives, whilst making the disclaimer that a direct link to Jack cannot be proven. The Grocer then goes on to say that it has launched its own VBI. It finishes up by calling Jack a 'one woman collection of receipts' (these receipts and the results of their analysis have not yet been published, as everyone knows). It is a sucky up article to Asda at base, and if it ends in a collab for Jack, Jack should pay them a commission.
Perhaps Adrian is earning his dollar after all.

'i've been very careful about what I share online'

Really? I know when you last had the people and that you had a six hour shaggathon. Things I neither needed nor wanted to know. You published that to half a million people. And as @heretoreaditall2019 said- nobody wants to know this tit. I don't want to see a photo of you in your hammock talking about tennis balls in your garden from the local court. None of us want to see pictures of you walking along streets near your house with your kid.

There's so much information about there about you because YOU publish it. I don't care where you live but anyone with half a braincell (perhaps more than you have) could put it together if they cared to. And yes, all of the Usual Suspects have told you it's a safeguarding issue time and time again.

If you are moving, try keeping some (literal) tit to yourself in future, yeah?

Two things can be true tho - the grocer are irresponsibly engagement mining and using a poorly regarded (in their industry) person to benefit themselves and Jack remains a wholly unlikeable head? The whole lot of them are trash tbh.
I agree. Jack is a bleep but the poll was still over the line for me. And ill-advised given as I predicted she was in the replies on about crossing boundaries and being an alcoholic instantly. It’s still swung her way at the time of my grunk and The Grocer should be breathing a sigh of relief - that might stop them being held responsible for her having a breakdown.

Bringing in a VULNERABLE CHILD is just Jack adding another protected characteristic to herself. She always drops something when she's losing an argument, and this time it was a teeny tiny, but also massively overgrown at less than 5'1.7 teenage 12yr old SB the String Bean.

It reads like a very long advertorial for Asda. Funnily enough.

But even if it had been delivered to the crappy bungalow, she says she still wouldn't be hosting Christmas, because of not having a table and chairs. Apparently she only realised this yesterday?? Did she have to call everyone she had invited to say she just remembered she's unable to do Christmas round at hers? And they'd have to make other plans?

It's all lies anyway, no point trying to make sense of it.
It's such a nonsensical lie crafted to make her sound like a generous yet hapless Xmas martyr. If you aren't hosting Xmas you'd simply cancel the order, freeing up a delivery slot for someone who genuinely needs it. Why would these imaginary friends want "bits" anyway - can they not do their own shopping like the rest of us? Who in their right mind is planning a Christmas meal reliant on JM's cast offs?

She will miss the delivery. Ocado will refund her card, but it will take 3-5 working days ie 28th Dec. Help, she has no dinner and also no money to replace it in time.
Not sure if it’s different with the Christmas deliveries, but Ocado don’t take the money from my card until after the delivery because you get money back from returning bags or if you don’t want substitutions…

Depending how far away the “flat” is from crappy bungalow I can actually see a supermarket refusing to change the delivery address at such short notice (esp at Christmas as the schedules are tight and having to schlep out of a planned route could throw the entire day off) but I suspect they’d cancel the order rather than just “we’ll deliver it to a place you don’t live in”.

The over-explaining to the squig who suggested she just log in an update her address for delivery is a dead giveaway that she's lying. Adorable ditzy Jack wants attention and likes, not solutions.

Well I went to bed and came back this morning and the chaos continues. But I just can’t get my head around this online shop thing (I know, I know, it’s because she’s LYING).

1) placed online food order in October(?) because would be hosting Christmas at new tiny 1bed flat 🤔
2) realised wouldn’t be able to host Christmas at new tiny 1bed flat because it had “fallen through”.
3) rather than cancelling online food order and therefore not spend the money, decides to let order come anyway and give food away to friends 🤔
4) realises order is going to new tiny 1bed flat address
5) doesn’t call customer services to try to cancel or change order

I just CAN’T!

He's a vulnerable child, is he?

I wouldn't be shouting that from the rooftops.


I mean, I know she's already said it clear as day for anybody who happens to be KCSIE/SS/Education adjacent, but actually using the phrase? It's not generally approved of for parents to advertise this confidential information regarding their child, as it further increases their vulnerability, sometimes by effectively putting a bloody great target on their head for others to home in on.

None of this makes any sense. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!

The Grocer voting her some sort of people's champion is a fkn laugh. Her war on poverty has led her to some very strange bedfellows has it not?
