Right, something just occurred to me.
I remembered during the last all night multichaos seeing this Tweet and being a bit "eh?" (Immediately forgot because then we got onto the medicine chaos and well.)
because
But my bullshit radar was atwinkling because in my experience, Viakal is good but it doesn't do half as good a job as plain old vinegar for the more stubborn limecale. And the Stardrops white vinegar spray is fractionally less expensive than Viakal. Making your own out of a massive bottle of the stuff even more so, on a penny per liter basis.
So why would Thrifty not recommend the vin? Could there be strains of Jimmy N echoing over the latter paragraph?
Maybe I've gone too tin foil hat with all of this. Idk. Send Viakalos.

Could the publicity of the handover to the adult people running the food banks/need points work? Usually the big food or giant cheque handovers for charity are just some volunteer in a tabard, not service users anyway. So I'm guessing they wouldn't expect to see kids/recipient families as part of the donation? XxThank you @WoolyMammoth
I learned about this unmet need for night-time pants for primary-aged children, in especially-vulnerable households fleeing DV, at the tail end of the week. Annoyingly can’t say how/why (it’s only annoying because I know you mithering ninnies would actually be interested and care!) - though might be in a position to share a little info in future. But please do feel free to write to your local NHS boards, MPs, and councils to ask what they’re doing to identify and support this hidden need in your local area. The answer, if you get one, will probably be along the lines of “what? nobody knows anything about this” which is kind of the point, but it’ll help get someone’s cogs turning.
I hope Pampers don’t mind indirectly donating some packs to food banks! We might see if we can approach them directly, but have assumed that they would probably need publicity as an incentive for donations, and we can’t risk anyone’s safety so that’s a non starter.
Jack Monroe doesn’t know she’s bleeping born, she really doesn’t.
Honestly this is something I'd never thought of as I thought that children with medical nighttime incontinence would have been able to access support direct from NHS continence service. But also I suppose that involves someone in the family identifying it as a "medical" need which isn't always easy or openly discussed. That and some children may have a shorter term continence issue too so may not get the help when needed. Does this also translate into a need for waterproof mattress type covers and spare fitted sheets? It must I suppose but maybe food bank not best placed to distribute those larger more permanent items. More a baby/family bank type thing perhaps.
You've just reminded me to wash and fold the outgrown clothes from the kids that I sorted out last week. I do donate them but the time between me sorting them and donating them can be a bit delayed(!).
See, this is the thing. Jack isn't there inspiring us to help anyone. Yet massive platform. Works in the "niche". Nothing.
And says she “literally writes” recipes for them with a pic PROVING it. A pic of a newspaper dated three Christmases ago. So I believe the correct term to literally be “literally wrote”.
Also, someone needs to explain the word “colleague” to her. And the words absurd, rude and astounding. And especially the word DISHONEST.
^ooh she splits more infinitives than peas.
it gives me a rage.
it gives me a rage.
BIB thread title nom!
Completely detached from reality. Does she even know what argument she's trying to make anymore?
Absolutely hanging today.
Jack chaos is on the same par as full fat coke and a sausage McMuffin. Cheers Jack ya beggy twit , perfect hangover cure

FFS @Nurseali when did you change your photo to the still-sentient “Welsh friend recipe”. Unc-egg?!
Lol and more importantly, WHY?? 
I am ashamed to say five hours ago I would have eaten it.FFS @Nurseali when did you change your photo to the still-sentient “Welsh friend recipe”. Unc-egg?!
To be fair before my deliveroo came I would have eaten most of Jack's back catalogue.
Bit gauche
I appreciate you pointing out this need. One of the junior Elastoblast needed night-time pull-ups for quite sometime due to sensory issues and I am kicking myself for not thinking to include some in the food bank part of the weekly shop so I'll do so now. I'll alternate them with nappies and sanitary items. Cheers Tenderstem. Thank space you for all you doThank you @WoolyMammoth

Jack Monroe doesn’t know she’s bleeping born, she really doesn’t.
I just used an email account I don't use for anything else but spam emails from stuff like this. So they can send me whatever membership rubbish they like but I won't ever see it.
If she's referring to the number of people that have subscribed to her mailing list, this means duck all anyway. Many have likely forgotten they're subscribed as she doesn't put any content out anymore, and that number of people aren't representative of the people visiting her site. Why would anyone pay a return visit to it? Its useless, stuck on the 2018 version still and she doesn't add anything new to it.Point of order, if she’s talking about the print edition, circulation is the number of actual copies that get distributed. Readership is the figure that takes into account how many times one copy is likely to be read. As ForgettyB says, a physical newspaper is likely to be read by more than one person. A website, like hers, is not. So yet again she’s being tricksy and comparing apples with oranges. Doesn’t wash here though does it Jack. We’ve got all angles covered
I know it's early doors, but I'd like to nominate Father Jack's comment here for next thread title.

If I'd been on Twitter for 15 years and thought every I said was profound or hilarious, and I still only had followers in the low hundreds, I may well latch on to a 'controversial' account(s) knowing it would boost my views.
The 'friendship' may not as one-sided as we think.

Right, roll up, roll up... the book is open for bets:
1. Moving house/house inspection today/this week... 192-1
2. J1gging tonight.... 4-7
3. Flouncing before Tuesday... Evens
Going out for a lovely afternoon /evening in a restaurant with friends and neighbours. Hopefully, will be too happy to grunk later. So
4. New thread on my return.... Guaranteed!

IIRC from my days volunteering with food banks, night time wetting is considered “normal” until a much older age than you’d think, I want to say it was 11/high school start age.
So there’s not much support for it from the NHS until you hit that point unless it can be directly linked to a medical condition (eg a physical bladder problem or a global development delay) which is quite often tricky when it’s something like anxiety or trauma especially in younger children.
We did distribute items like mattress protectors if we got them in and the local launderette were really good with us, giving us effectively “vouchers” that we could pass to families either without laundry facilities and also to some families that were having to wash bedding daily which meant they could also get it dried properly not getting musty on an airer in a cold, damp flat.
All of this again is stuff Jack has absolutely no idea about. She could do so much good with the tiniest bit of effort and she just doesn’t.
ETA: even if they did manage to secure NHS help, it was often the bare minimum - eg exactly 1 pair per night which isn’t always enough etc.
You wouldn’t know the account, it goes to another school. It’s the same as school my account for Patreon funds goes to actually. I keep that separate so I can pay Patreon-related outgoings (printing,postage, tax) from the Patreon income before moving it to my other account.
Also, which we’ve said before, how can she meticulous maintain the donations for court cases separate from random “supporting what she does” gifts when she asks for it all to be paid to the same PayPal. Is she really expecting us to believe she forensically only puts the ones explicitly marked “donations for libel fund” into that fund??
