I agree. Nic, while overweight and not particularly stylish is livelier than Liz and able to be positive for five minutes - on the podcast Nic often talks enthusiastically about animals, charity fundraising, or books / TV shows etc she is enjoying and then gets shot down by Liz. I wonder if it secretly rankles Liz that someone she sees as being beneath herself (i.e. not thin, not the "award-winning columnist") is probably the one more people want to spend time with so she harps on Nic's appearance or makes fun of the things Nic is interested in
I remember a while back, think it was when she first moved to Yorkshire, that she was amazed that Nic always seemed to attract male attention (the deaf farmer which didn't end very well for him) despite her being overweight and no where near as cosmopolitan and interesting as her..yeah whilst I think Nic has been badly influenced by Jones, she does have some redeeming qualities, which is why I mentioned earlier that I wished Nic would drop her, but she's probably far too inveigled in the Jones fantasy world now, that it's probably very difficult for her to leave, much like David I assume, though he does at least seem to have a circle of other friends, Nic doesn't seem to have that.
I was shocked to read this entry to the diary.. it’s as if the mask slips and how she really feels about Nic is revealed?
Nic stepped up to me, really close, her face in my face. ‘You b****,’ she said. ‘I bet you want me to punch you so you have something to write about in your column!’

OMG that column is awful, I had forgotten about that, what a
witch, previous comment about Nic getting away for her still stands, that's an appalling way to speak to someone, if you want to keep animals, bloody well look after them yourself, an employee is entitled to some time off
