I like this commentary on Harry and his interviews-- the commentator focuses on narcissistic behavior and lots of things are applicable to SJ too!
The very first places that many Japanese tourists visit in London are Fortnum and Mason; Harrods; Liberty, and all the big designer brands. The Chinese students I taught, on the other hand, were desperate to find Clarke's shoes!When I first went to Japan and was asked to do a Q and A with the junior high kids who'd never met or talked to a foreigner before, one of the questions was 'what is your favourite label'.
I have always felt exactly the same as you @Freesia54. Certainly nothing to be mocking you for - I stand 100% alongside you.Personaly, I've never felt the want or need to have 'designer' items, why would I pay a fortune to wear a brand with the company's initials or logo on , in order to do free advertising for them? I can relate that some people back in the day, may have thought it was a symbol of wealth and class and to wear such brands would give a perception ot that persons financial standing. Today it appears to be more of a fashion trend and not necessarily a 'status' symbol with so many fakes and the genuine articles being saved for or paid on credit card. Buy now pay later... There are brands I have obviously heard of and some not so familiar to me, for example The Hermes thing with the towels. I did wonder why anyone would want to supply towels from a delivery service especially as they have now changed their name to Evri. Yes you can mock if you wish but I guess in a past life I was obviously from the downstairs crew. In a world where so many have too much and so many have very little I find the whole Brand thing from clothes to food shallow.
Maybe because they have wide feet! I love Clarke's shoes. Whatever fit models they use works for me as do Doc Martens. I guess I have English feet - wide ball, thick toes, fairly high instep and a narrow heel, sounds so attractive, doesn't it!The very first places that many Japanese tourists visit in London are Fortnum and Mason; Harrods; Liberty, and all the big designer brands.

I totally agree with you.I can't help but think of moths being attracted to light when I think of all the misfits that have come and gone at the HMN. Dan was completely unqualified to be a gardener from the get go. No qualified gardener would have worked for Fanny after talking to her for 10 minutes. She wouldn't have been willing to pay their rates. Instead, she just gets someone that comes along. It's a two way street. Well adjusted, intellectually and emotionally intelligent people just don't get involved with Fanny. This game of prey and predators will not stop. There are so many other people just chomping at the bit to volunteer and work at the HMN. Darwinism?Phil is obviously not prey in my book. He's also a predator.

Do we really want to know what Dan did or did not do behind some pub?Dan... if he has been used and dropped by SJ, I hope he has kept the hours of unseen video he must have, that shows her in a true light. Maybe he could join forces with @Yebo or do a Harry and make a bundle off his tale. Otherwise it will all have been for nothing... no home, no partner, no chateau, no friends and kids that "recollections may vary".
I think he might be on a oil rigg again. Maybe just for a limited time but since he is without the kids he is basically free to go. It's the only way for him since without proper education to make a bit of money in a short period of time and then have time off again to work on his ruin.As a disclaimer (yes, I wised up): none of what I’m about to say might be connected to the reason Dan has been missing in (sort of) action and we will probably never know, because I doubt the man himself will admit to it anyway. He just likes to throw the dogs a bone: new flog soon, but no real date. What I do know is that there recently has been a nasty fallout between charlataine Stephanie Jarvis and her former gardener/love interest/handyman/availability, because Dan was counting on his bff Armoir to help him in his derelict ruin/abandoned castle/historic chateau but she has vetoed that by reminding her Cuz where his loyalties should lie. At the same time, Dan was painstakingly reminded that in her playbook when you’re out, you actually are out.
I wondered if something like that was happening.Feel Armour,is unhappy of late.As a disclaimer (yes, I wised up): none of what I’m about to say might be connected to the reason Dan has been missing in (sort of) action and we will probably never know, because I doubt the man himself will admit to it anyway.

Long ago and in another life, my boss was rude to my mother, in my own home. I was furious and told my boss to apologise and get out. Even though my work could not be faulted, when I turned up for work the next day, I was fired. I sued for unfair dismissal plus damages, and won. The judge agreed with me that an employer is only an employer during the actual hours the employee is being paid. Anything outside those hours, is that person's own time and I was free and justified in telling my boss to get lost.And not so very long ago, she announced on a vlog that Dan and Amaury were going to work together on a new project/business. She said that with enthusiasm and not long after that, we discovered Dan had bought the ruin so it must have been that that she was referring to. Although Dan was daft to buy it, I hope Amaury does help him in his free time. Fanny rides roughshod over everyone else.She owns people for a time, then casts them out. Despicable woman.
You beat me... Or he is cook on a yacht? Probably more suited than Marie andI wonder if he is back on the oil rig making money to support his family. What no he is posting from Morocco or other places. The whole lot of them are loony
I’m amazed at the speed SJ churns through people. The whole process, from start to finish…love bombing to dismissal…can be counted in months. SJ’s history with Dan could be a case study in narcissism. I remember when Dan was first introduced, then elevated to a pedestal, eventually sidelined, and now kicked to the curb. It’s a revolving door at the farmhouse. What a shallow life. Think about it…the person SJ has chosen as her companion/partner…the person she is supposedly most closely connected, shares emotions, thoughts, feelings, and continues to “stick around”…is PhiPhi…26 years old, uneducated, uncultured, unskilled, and naive (but he probably has an agenda). Astounding and embarrassing.
I think the Pethericks,may help Dan as well.They have supported his vlog.And not so very long ago, she announced on a vlog that Dan and Amaury were going to work together on a new project/business.

I agree with you. Dan is defo not the sharpest knife in the drawer.Poor Dan! He signed up for classes in the school of hard knocks. He was fooled by Fanny's flattery. AnneMarie may have also led him on with promises of helping out with the ruin without clearing it with his employer, Fanny, first. Dan just isn't very bright, you can't 'borrow' employees from employers at a whim, employers don't take too kindly to that sort of thing. I wouldn't mind Dan's folly if he didn't have family responsibilities, but this ruin dream is ridiculous!
That makes sense,I wonder if he chef's on the rig's that would earn him renovation money.I think he might be on a oil rigg again. Maybe just for a limited time but since he is without the kids he is basically free to go. It's the only way for him since without proper education to make a bit of money in a short period of time and then have time off again to work on his ruin.
God forbid the Floor Scrubber hire actual experts using the copious funds she has received through Patreon and YouTube.As a disclaimer (yes, I wised up): none of what I’m about to say might be connected to the reason Dan has been missing in (sort of) action and we will probably never know, because I doubt the man himself will admit to it anyway.

Serves them both right for ceding their autonomy for a run down scrap heap and the artificial popularity of a dubious social media world. Harumph!Looks like Phillipa put its foot down. I can imagine the whining in Fanny's ear... More competition out of the way?
I wonder what Armoire has to say about it all. Maybe he's trapped in the whole scenario and is voiceless so just goes along with it all. Guess he lost a friend. His one 'male' friend...
He's a Chateau Owner now, surely working as a labourer on an Oil Rig would be out of the question?I think he might be on a oil rigg again. Maybe just for a limited time but since he is without the kids he is basically free to go. It's the only way for him since without proper education to make a bit of money in a short period of time and then have time off again to work on his ruin.
It actually would be very smart of him to be on an oil rig right now. After all, it's winter, so not a lot of work to be done outside, and let's face it his place is literally all outside. He could be on a rig making serious bank and then come back after it warms up with full pockets. It would be a smart move especially if he's had a falling out with her royal whateverness...I think he might be on a oil rigg again. Maybe just for a limited time but since he is without the kids he is basically free to go. It's the only way for him since without proper education to make a bit of money in a short period of time and then have time off again to work on his ruin.
