I thought that WAS the makeup. A bit heavy on the blusher.
Wtf
this family is like something off The Fast Show. Will he still fire it on the queen's birthday and take a few customers out? A small price to pay for that Marxist Royalist respect.
Perhaps. It's just that one spot though. Really odd that no one thought to fix it or tidy it up before publishing
Bloody hell. Not that I doubt you tenderstem, but I had to scroll back to that pic to double check. Couldn’t quite believe it.
Sometimes fact IS stranger than fiction.
Taking the bins out after closing?View attachment 2553036View attachment 2553039View attachment 2553037Lol I don’t think even Nepo D would give his slopcook financially inept ghastly daughter a nonprofit cafe to run in his nonprofit enterprise, but I’m sure he’s found something for her to do
Filler mark
Maybe Poppy PoPo Jack is running their social media? They barely post on Insta and when they do on FBWtf
Oh and just like Jack they expect people to do stuff for them for free
And Big D is front and centre on their socials.
Has Jack been emptying out her “special drawer”?!ETA I know it’s late, but please, thread title nomination!

These plates of food look just as I imagine they would in a cafe like Serendipity. It's not fine dining and I'm a food snob so am terribly prejudiced about that plate of porridge and the state of that hollandaise.
It's a strangely whimsical name for a military-around-the-edges setting that aims to preserve Shoebury's proud history of doing whatever it is wrt artillery. You'd think they'd go for something like The Officers' Mess or similar.
Perhaps one of the lady wives of the three Billy Big balls Directors of the CIC running this joint came up with it and they thought it was okay to let the ladies have a tiny bit frippery. Ditto the flower boxes trying gamely to pretty up a rather stark and utilitarian space.
Here's the three Billy Big balls Directors. Named on FB as:
"L-R
Brian Sandford - Managing Director - C&W shed
David Hadjicostas MBE - Company chair
John Budge - Director of Finance"
One thing I WILL say, even though everything about this enterprise makes we want to run fast in the opposite direction, is that Big Dave is actually contributing something of worth to his local community, unlike Jack. They've repurposed and brought into use a listed building, they're preserving historical stuff in the best tradition of every niche, local museum up and down the land, and they've created some jobs there too.
The model of a Community Interest Company is interesting because it's not-for-profit. This is appropriate, given the "public good" nature of the project. But it's also savvy because they can use their non-profit status to leverage public funds, which they clearly have done with the local council. AND the directors are also permitted to take dividends or fees for services out of the business so Big D will likely be earning nicely through this vehicle. There are statutory guidelines for how the directors should do this but it's a very useful model to make a bit of money and also do something useful for the world.
In summary, Big D has, from everything we know about him, made a good living out of working in the public sector (fire service, fostering etc) in an entrepreneurial sense. He's not just a wage slave -- he's actively used opportunities to boost his income along the way, all above board and seemingly honest, without any whiff of a grift.
It's notable that Jack, in her perennial resentment of her parents, hasn't learned any of this. She could've done similar, with all the many opportunities she's been gifted in the last decade and could've set herself up with a nice living that wouldn't demand every drop of her blood in a mundane 9-to-5 job.
Also, also, ALSO, we should definitely do our field trip to check them out next weekend. Look, frauen:
Anyway, here's Big D posing with his gun and his rather, ahem, phallic bullets.
Thanks to the Cart and Wagon Shed for serendipitously giving us some new content to mither over. We salute you.

Picture two. Evidence of an egg ring?
And Jack's deadly egg ring wasn't even her own idea, I saw a you tuber on a video from two years ago do it to make fluffy pancakes.
The cafe are a separate entry on Companies House. They want to help the long term unemployed, so perhaps there is a job for the guest?
Aren’t those Jack’s chairs?
He would probably introduce himself as Big Dave MBE, Repeatedly.Can you imagine? You'd spend the whole cruise hiding from them! I bet Big D is one of those men that talks really loud on purpose, just so everyone nearby can hear his Very Important Views.
For my taste, this place looks truly ghastly. It is in the middle of a former army barracks that has become a high end housing estate. I would not be surprised to learn the building was provided by the developer for free for community use as part of the planning permission with the council.These plates of food look just as I imagine they would in a cafe like Serendipity.

ETA: I've looked it up and that is what happened. The developer refurbished the building and gave the freehold to the council. I wonder if they charge the big gun related community enterprise (and cafe) peppercorn rent?

They didn't bother to read through the recipes, so it is no surprise they didn't bother to look at the photos.Perhaps. It's just that one spot though. Really odd that no one thought to fix it or tidy it up before publishing
Lol I zoomed in to specifically look if that was her table and it’s not her table or chairs
Is this big gun to shoot people who put metal in the microwave when it’s not BUSY saluting the Queen? I bet if you fired one of those phallic big boys into the floor you could make a proper well-like chasm (a sort of hole, if you will)
I concur Haggsy. Not my sort of happy place at all.
To be fair, though, their website says this is a Grade 1 listed warehouse that's been disused for a long time. I couldn't be bothered to read the whole history but it is a locally interesting site if you're a military history buff. I am not.
I would say that there's a difference between helping the unemployed and the likes of guest who's unemployable.
"Jack, take that plate of food to table 5."
"SHANT!"
How odd, i check what’s going on with guest occasionally and nothing showing for Latest on twitter today. The usual stuff is listed under Top.
