Did anyone catch Saturn's question. So is the train company saying she made it all up?

God I really wish she'd stop using "ephemera" wrongly, it's very jarring. Nigella she ain't.
Just saw this on Instagram and it made me think of our beloved flouncing JockMcWeehen:

She’s going to reply, “I’ve tried that already!” to every suggestion and in about an hour will tell people to stop giving her advice and get rude and angry with everyone.

Happy Birthday @Flumps , strange times for a birthday, difficult to go out and enjoy in the usual way. Hope whatever you have done has brought you joy.
Not a lot to add about R Wee Jackie, you lot have had me hooting and squeaking all day, though my lung is thankfully still in place.
I'm having my Op tomorrow, we'll see whether I need Chemo after that. I certainly won't be trying any of R Wee Jackie's concoctions to assist with recuperation. Not for where I will be Ouchy.

I'm with @Ellabella on this one - speculation that Louisa owns the bungalow is such blatant bullshit and is derailing the thread.
Case in point, your honour:
February 2019: Jack moves into the distinctly unshitty bungalow and raves about the kitchen. She makes a later post about "persuading Mrs J" to move in with her.
March 2019: Louisa is packing up her flat to move to the bungalow.
Why on earth would she pack up her entire life to move to a place she already owned? Why would she need to be persuaded to live in her own house? It makes no sense and it's just another stick of inaccuracy for Jack to beat us with.
Well-researched speculation only please, sorry to be a twat but that's just who I am.
Edited because you could see my bastard profile pic thumbnail in the original screenshots. I'm gonna get triangulated now all in the name of mythbusting!

Thanks very Matt much.
nice bullying of Cat by Jack there
the LNER thing is how all her pile-ons work, she stacks the wood, pours the petrol and then Steps back to let her followers burn the target to the ground. She never steps back in to explain, clarify or call people off. Given that she polices twitter like a hound she will be well aware of what her followers are doing even though she sometimes likes to claim that she isn’t.
she’s done this so many time’s and never changes the shitty behaviour despite being “madly self aware”. THIS is why I find Jack problematic.
It’s not funny Jack, or heroic. LNER is not a big faceless company. Someone could lose their job over this.
also I think the reason she wanted to switch to DM with LNER so as not to “reveal her location” is cos she’s in First and doesn’t want her followers to know.
(Speculation m’lud, and I’m definitely mistaken because Jack only ever acts out of good, honourable intentions obviously).
