If she’d post a link people could spend their hard earned cash (winter fuel allowance) on a more worthy cause than a Burberry scarf. I’m feeling so deflated today. She is so wrong.

campaigning done for the day, we move on back to tidying up plus ailments plus landlady

I wonder if Jack will come across any long-lost Cotswold Co. pieces whilst on her tidying frenzy. Throw us a bone will you Jack, sweetie, and upload a few seemingly innocuous photos to help me out here. We are at 15 items, but I am sure there are still a number of others, including a bathroom sideboard. Don't worry about the cost and weight, I'll do the heavy lifting with the audit and administration. You can use it to estimate 2021 storage / moving costs.

And she was bleating days later about how she couldn't be expected to be any good having had no presenter training or e experience. My goodness lady do you suppose that might play into who gets massive presenting jobs??
Didn’t she go on TV presenter training a few years ago? And rattled her tip jar to fund a TV pilot?

Here it is. “Funded by myself... but here’s my Paypal so I don’t have to.”

It would be rather fun to set up a website called, say, AntiJ. Each of us - even @Silver Linings and others who say they don't or don't like to cook - could contribute one practical, easy to read recipe. Each recipe could end with "finally, do not photograph the food."

I'm doing a website course at tech atm, so I'll volunteer to set it up! I know SEO is and could get the hits!

Exactly this. If you are passionate about a cause, you don't care who advances that cause. You don't care how things get moved along. You are just pleased that your cause is getting wider exposure.

Bloody hell, does she love talking about herself or what?! It's actually getting hard to read now.
She must be exhausting to listen to in real life. Reminds me of a couple people I know who always talk about themselves and when you’re talking, they’re just waiting for their turn to speak rather than listening.

I've been thinking over the last couple of days about how unfit for purpose Jack's recipes are. Not just for all the obvious reasons - they're also really badly written, and I feel that any recipes targeted at food bank users should be written in very clear, simple English.

To be clear, I certainly don't believe that all poor people are illiterate; however, someone who struggles with literacy will have a hell of a time dealing with chickpeas bathing in their own ephemera.

Incinerator, eh? Did the landlady finally have enough of her shit?



(Not a death threat, your honour, in case Jack - hi Jack! - misconstrues this post!)
I see Landlady, but my head autocorrects it to Nan. The longer her whining goes on my brain really is beginning to think that her teeny, tiny house is family owned. My spidey senses are tingling

Whenever I read your posts I always think you sound like such an all round lovely, empathetic person, who has had a very interesting life. (Sorry for a quick off topic post)

I’ll bring it back to Jack now, I’m catching up this morning and she’s such a walloper, I’m so glad her tweets from March have been reposted, they were bad enough to begin with but they’ve aged like cheap wet ham. So much second hand cringe.
