The Chateau Diaries #155 Snorty is a big time vlog killer! Just like 11 year old preserves he is not good

I love that you've credited the pair of them with enough entrepreneurial know-how and competence to arrange that in time for Sept, and yet, they cannot publish their association accounts from 2020 and 2021..... Somehow I think it'll be no more than bric-a-brac on tables to peruse over, maybe some pots of LieLande honey.


SJ must be kicking herself that she didn't go down the Flueries route because she is pushed up against a wall for as long as she draws an income from Patreon.... ducking and diving to avoid accountability and dragging out lies is a full time occupation for her now. A very sorry existence. I think at first it must have been fun for her to deceive, fun for her to spend other people's money, fun for her to document it for all to see, but in reality I think it's a constant burden to keep the plates spinning. I think we should all notice the lack of the regular pre-pandemic faces of friends and family at the chateau. Ollie, David, Donna, Mummy, Percy, Gerry, Metherdick, Ruthie, Potts and Bag Head Nick, music workshops were there almost every other weekend when she claimed poverty and now they've scuttled away. Pray, I wonder why that could possibly be? Something is afoot that is making people keep well away, and I don't think it's just the rising damp behind the façade.....

I'm so so so hoping the dissenting patrons who're gathering under the cover of darkness turn up en masse and express their displeasure. We now know when Patreon Day is due to take place so we could air bomb the chateau with leaflets detailing our grievances.

Add the leaflets to the plane with the banner!!

It seems that the accountant Andre Beverley Roden based in Suffolk who acts for Aunt/Uncle/Amaury/Gerald might have set the form for Fanny about associations etc & whilst he is based in the UK could it be a generic accountancy tactic not unique to UK? It seems that lack of scrutiny & meetings etc are linked to the issuing of dividends to the shareholders. Whilst this makes sense in a company where there are just one or two directors can it be scaled up to be used for bigger associations such as La Lande?

(Deppenhaugh Care Home directors were Aunt Chantal & Uncle Stephen. The Deppenhaugh changed name to be Oak Grange Hoxne Ltd then to Oak Tree Barns)
Is the smoke & mirrors with regard to the finances because Fanny is paying herself a dividend from the Association?

Imagine the shock when the patrons get to meet the real Stephanie Jarvis. They may not even recognise her.

She won't show up.

I’ve seen this name changing tactic in small companies in the US. Get sued for something dissolve the corporation, re-incorporate under a new name, same industry, same assets, same directors, screwed victims. Sound familiar?

 

[JackSpratt]

I’ve been waiting for you to comment on the wood work we saw. It’s good to hear from someone in the know that we are not all too far off track smelling a rat.

Being married to an artisan plumber who works bloody hard all year round hardly ever taking time off, most of what goes on there with regards any form of building maintenance work winds me up so much I have to hold back. They're all (with the exception of Tree Surgeon Nick - one of my past jobs back in the UK was working for a tree surgery company so I know he's on the ball) just playing at it. Not saying Aumary isn't trained in his chosen profession but I do wonder if he's been bank rolled by Papa most of his life. Nothing is as it seems, in my opinion. Don't even get me started on the abomination that is their plumbing and heating!

Very well spotted, where are the music workshops? Shut out because the grand salon was their classroom? And Amaury has been called away from his work there, costing her her most reliable customers?
Good job, Stephanie. You shot yourself in the actual dick of your only earned income.

I saw that too. Thought it was a squirrel though.

[Pekey]

Amaury has made himself at home at the Shittoo and it seems like he intends to stay for a long time. He expressed his dreams of making the Shittoo self sustaining and bringing his bees to make honey, etc. He is getting mentally and emotionally invested in the dump, which is dangerous, especially when the money dries up like the pond.

Oh I hope he brings his bees ...... I am sure Squirrel Boyfriend would be allergic to them ........ perhaps they are "Killer Bees" and if so .... I would point them towards the Squirrel !!!

 

[M&MsMom]

Have we ever seen the potato hills?

Yes, although they weren't hilled up. When she showed the potato patch, I don't recall more than 8-10 plants. I think I even remarked here then that there was no way that was enough potatoes to carry them through the winter, as Stephanie suggested, much less feed all these people she says they're feeding "from the garden".

 

[billybudd]

So isn’t this a good time for some Irish grandmother to get her coach organised for all the patreons? Where is Brenda?

Just the people all the yuppies want to be partying with in La France Profonde.

I figured out the lie regarding the potatoes from the vegetable garden- for the amount of guests and staff there for dinner regularly, you would need a small paddock to keep up the supply. What a silly thing to lie over. Many of her patreons (and us) know this stuff, we have grown vegetables, cooked for the masses- this type of lying is quite off and a life long habit obviously. Clara, does her mother ever call her out on this?

Exactly. She lies about the potatoes....this is part of her poverty poseur thing? Which keeps her in granny tat mode? Except for when she breaks out and pisses away thousands on bogus garden furniture designed by Harold and Vera Bloom?

Everything is that workshop, to me anyway, just looks too perfect, too clean like it's hardly every been usedif at all. I do wonder he's ever had to work to a deadline for a customer. He should try living in my world, my poor husband trying to keep on schedule when customers keep f'kin it up all the time. I just wonder if he's just been playing at it and this is the first 'real' large scale work he's ever taken on. Something just doesn't add up to me.

I agree, he seems like an extreme hobbyist. By that, I mean he is very good at it, but could he earn a living at it with the pace at which he works. He is pretty ocd and perfectionistic with his work. Which is great but does that translate into a real world income if he were working for customers who need the work quickly and he had to cover his own overhead of utilities, workspace, etc. He also gets to take many vacations and breaks, and sets his own work hours. Serving or answering to one master (one client) could ease up the pressure, however, at times with Fanny, could also increase it terribly since he has to drop the woodworking to tackle any other issues that come up at the Shittoo. He hasn't been working woodworking routine hours weekly at the Shittoo for the many months he has been there.

Maybe he is high strung or prone to anxiety if he had to produce the volume of work a fully employed craftsman would have to do without vacations or time limits. He may just be slow. He gets exposure on Channel 4 for his work. His equipment looks new, very pristine, and color coordinated. Fanny pays for his overhead and provides a workshop, materials, volunteer labor when needed, and exposure via the videos and channel 4 and he stays on the property and handles all of the daily problems, covers for her when she is vacationing, and is a character in her videos and tv footage, playing the genteel, loving, polite, adoring cousin, to make her look good and attract an audience. He likes the slow pace at the Shittoo.

@JackSpratt I wonder if he's just been a fabricator, making just window and door frames, i think its clear he wasn't worked on major projects before, too much of a perfectionist, time is money but i guess when its not your money there is no problem.
didn't he fit a new window in fannys London flat?
Again you can see he has no experience working with a client, he should be keeping fanny in check with deadline, as hes the one with the skills out of the two of them.

Stephanie Jarvis also stated that she has 3,500 patrons plus their "plus one" are invited = poss 7,000 attendees.
Then went onto say that they could manage 2/300 people per day = 900 max over the 3 days.
An awful lot of disappointed patrons methinks!
TBH, anybody with any sense would not even contemplate attending as it will be an absolute shambles from start to finish.
Anyone with any professionalism/business sense would just hold their hands up and say, "sorry patrons but I feel that we should postpone the party until next year so I can firmly set a date in the calendar for 2023 now. Plus side is that the heating will have been installed, Grand Salon will be finished/gardens will have matured and I can organise everything perfectly for everybody. I hope you will all understand".
And, obviously, of course they will.

Yeah, I'd be taking my Woodstock go bag.

I thought the Flueries have gone down the same path as Stephanie. What do you mean by theirs is a different route?

They haven’t set themselves up as a charitable association as far as I’m aware

She wouldn’t dare try that with Nick the tree guy.

Oh hell no she would not try it on the Tree Guy........ I bet she has seen the movie Fargo ..... Tree Guy has one of those wood chippers !!!

They have. They can only use their funds for restoration. The out buildings and garden. I don't think they can us it for the kitchen. I could be wrong but they have definitely set up an association. Interesting that their accounts are not published either.

He gets exposure on Channel 4 for his work.

In his head that properly what he thinking, he could get a brand deal and then in turn become a joke trades man like all the others on British tv,
no one is watching the channel 4 program for trade links, its normal people at home having a good nosy at big houses, why build up a good reputation based on your skills when you could just flash a smile and show some arm on tv and become a novelty act.
