Anna Mathur talks a bit more sense about this whole thing and she’s actually gracious enough to admit she’s not perfect at it herself. You know, since joining here, I’ve been caught up in some of the gutter talk too. I’ll admit that. It’s not what I joined for but it’s easy to get sucked in. Humans gossip. I’m going to try to not let it get personal from
now on but I’m sure as hell not going to be silenced about speaking about content (much of which is of a commercial or marketing nature) - shared by people on a public platform. Especially all the shady as fuck stuff the meldrums do.
I do not comment on her hair.... but I will comment here when she aff links Dyson Hair stylers on her wish list ( i.e. items she has not purchased ) to John Lewis so that she may make money for 30 days off cookies that she is not transparent about.
I do not comment on the children clothes, looks or behaviour ... but I will comment when they or their image are used by their parents in their roles as Directors of Mrs Meldrum for marketing purposes that have the potential to cause the girls to be bullied or exploited by others due to the context of the post / image.
I do not follow Mrs Meldrums Ltd accounts, comment on their media pages or send them direct messages ... I will report any breach of legislation such as GDPR issues, misrepresentation with the intent to deceive or illegal activity such as doxxing.
Mental Health - I will always out a hypocrite and in my opinion they are A listers at hypocrisy.
They are NOT celebrities who have been tailed by press looking for a scandal or have ex lovers looking to sell a story or sell a sex tape, wondering who is going to be the next hot presenter taking their roles when they are getting too old or past their sell by date.
They ARE two people running a local advertising company who come up with no original creative thought, no concept of carefully choosing who they represent to present a wholesome brand with consistency and an identifiable ethos. Their business practices are shady and they are economical with the truth. They have presented themselves as untrustworthy and unrelateable and like dodgy politicians will run with whatever the hot topic is for engagement and validation regardless of their own behaviour. Todays hot topic for them is suicide and being kind.
Was Lee "being kind" in first ignoring a polite request on the Neilson Ski holiday to edit someone out of a photograph and later adding "send them my love' and 'nah'. We do not know the background of that request but potentially it could have been a safeguarding issue. He was on a trip as a director of Mrs Meldrum Limited paid to do an advertising campaign for a travel company, hardly professional.
Was Rebecca being kind when she potentially breached GDPR regulations and sent private messages she fully intended to be intimidating.
Both above examples could have been detrimental to the mental health to those they decided to be unkind to or 'troll'
We could potentially be called out for gossip if we comment on her hair, his love of haribos, their swearing verbally and in print on their posts BUT these posts are on the public media accounts of the two directors directly linking to the company Mrs Meldrum Limited and their Youtube channel in their bios. This is where they run their advertising campaigns, aff link products and document their gifted days out / experiences which they are paid to promote. This is where THEY RUN THEIR BUSINESS. They have a choice what to put on their social media, it is run purely by themselves and they have to make that judgement call as all business owners / directors do as to what information is released to the public and how they portray their business.
Every single thing that anyone on this forum, in Banchory, at the school gates ... wherever, discusses about their behaviour is because Mr Lee & Mrs Rebecca Meldrum have chosen to put that information into the public domain through their own volition.
