hi

Exactly this! Just when I thought she was done going on and on, she just kept going! Pulling out all the books by authors who recovered from having TB was bizarre. I guess she was just trying to prove to her adoring and concerned fans that it is curable, but I feel she wanted to appear manic also. Loosing both her father and dear Percy would be too unbearable. When it comes to her followers, it’s important to keep the level of concern for her heartbreak at the same level of her grifting outcomes.
She said that Percy wanted her viewers to know what was going on but it just seemed like she over shared. When people over share, I often think it’s because they feel guilty about something or need attention because they are uncomfortable with their feelings/thoughts or just trying to suck attention.
I am sad to hear about Percy and glad that he’s getting help- overseen by his family (surgeon sons).
I felt the same about the books but did you notice they all look brand new? Never been read perhaps. My books all have the spine at least with creases in them once read,

She is such a narc. It has to be all about her and her distress about Percy.
Anyway TB is not at all rare. In 2021 10.6 million people fell ill with TB according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

I hope that Percy recovers with time but I think he should stay away from Lielande.

You made a clickbait video with a dramatic thumbnail for something that’s awful for Percy?! And you continued to advertise your channel and patron and giggle all the way through?! So in appropriate and not classy!! You could have just informed people in another video as he clearly wasn’t RUSHED to hospital and this happened over a period of time. Very strange Stephanie!!

And do people in Uk who are being treated for cancer of the throat actually have Tb of the throat/ Scarey thought!
Worrying indeed for Percy, it could have been the end. Going back some years, I had a medical problem that had been going on for some time and I was told I'd have to just get on with it. When we moved to France I went to my Doctor here and it was all done and dusted, operation to rectify it within 6 months. My brother in law in the UK has just had a tumour removed from his stomach, the lead up to this has been going on for nearly a year and this op was cancelled twice within the last month. Now done and the outlook is positive but not good for someone with cancer, took far too long to get sorted.

Looks like I’ve unintentionally said “hi” to @pasta_aldente after quoting their post … a lovely error nonetheless… hello!! 🤦🤦
Always enjoy your posts!

So why didn't the son step up sooner? Asking for a Tb of the throat test??? This has been happening since Egypt or before??? Also the US does not vaccinate for Tb ... so everyone in Europe gets vaccinated?? I dont think so... so Dutch boy, Cyprus and Ukraine girl all vaccinated???
Probably like a lot of the elderly he'd not told them or had said it was nothing. However, if they watch the vlogs they would have seen their father getting thinner and thinner. Also did Izzy or Fanny phone them earlier with their concerns? I was vaccinated in the UK when I was at senior school, don't know what they do these days though. As for the rest of Europe I've no idea, I'd guess they do in France.

@JackSpratt A former colleague who moved back to the UK has been diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer. His lack of treatment has been appalling. He knew something was wrong 3 years ago, but was brushed off.

The only way he knew it was terminal was when he was so sick at home (after the hospital refused to admit him) and an emergency GP was sent to him. He heard the GP on the phone outside his bedroom say, "As it's terminal, should we look at a hospice opening?".

Appalling.

He went to see his specialist a few days later, and the appointment was cancelled as he was sitting in the waiting room. He kicked up a fuss and they admitted him.

It's so unfair. He just retired from many years at Fleet Street then in New Zealand, and now to be told he has a year, if that.

I'd be furious had I been a B&B guest and discovered the host I'd dined with had TB, or let's say COVID, and not informed me for possibly be infected.
Good thing Bubble Gorl hasn't been there while Percy has been there - imagine the drama... 🙄
After this news I wonder if anyone will cancel for the patreon days. Also answers why Isabelle and Percy were having their meal in the appartment, poor bugger couldn't eat. The whole vlog was overblown, all that was needed was a simple dignified announcement.

That's terrible poor poor man, I just hope for my brother in law (he's 53) that they are correct and they've got it all. They've taken his spleen, part of the stomach and part of the pacreas. He's upbeat and positive which is good.

Sorry I'm playing catch up, but did I read that correctly? Percy got TB and knowingly exposed a ton of other people and even went on a flight??? 😮

What are they going to show off…

The memorial for MM in the woods?
The white peacock?
The finished heating system?
The completed grand salon?
The repaired terrace?
The Nazi’s apartment?
Tacksy Fare’s apartment?

Those tits are going to have to be out and centre on Patreon Days to distract everyone from the reality that very little has been accomplished in the past year.
Can I add painting the chateau exterior to jobs needed? It looks like it hasn't been touched for at least a decade so damp patches indoors are guaranteed. Maybe she wants to match it to the crumbling interior? There was talk of renovation a couple of years ago but it's obviously been added to a list while she swans about Europe.

I enjoyed chateau grifferai’s vlog last night. Rob and Lesley work so hard. They only have 17k subs and you can see they don’t play with the Numbers their views totally match up. Their roof is coming along nicely and they are tidying up their kitchen roof hiding them electrical wires.

Fanny says that Percy underwent tests in SA at the start of the year (February?) when he was told he 'needed to live with it." Given that SA is a high incidence country for TB, you would think that the alarm would have been raised at that stage. Is this when his sons started to question if this could be TB? If so, why would they not have tried to prevent him from travelling to the UK and France when they knew that he was in poor health or is the case that Fanny and IJ had more sway over Percy's decision to travel, when he was clearly very unwell at that point.

The UK specialist who suggested that it was possible that this was likely to be cancer and intended to carry out a biopsy in two weeks before any treatment could begin approx two weeks later. (Junior doctors took part in strike action from 7am on 13 July until 7am on 18 July 2023 and hospital consultants were strike for 48 hours from 7am on 20 July.3 Jul 2023, delaying treatment for many.) I am sure that being the rapid deterioration in Percy's general health and frail appearance would have contributed to his probable diagnosis. They decided to go back to SA where he would be seen a little sooner and he had the biopsy last week, that revealed the TB.

She says that his surgeon in SA said that TB was prevalent in the past but almost eradicated and yet

"TB is the leading cause of death in South Africa. It kills approximately 89,000 people per year, or 10 people every hour. Effective treatments are available, and the country has made significant progress in combating the disease, but much more is required to bring it under control." 7.12.2022

Fanny's version of events always throw up more questions than answers.
Spot on Jeeves. Given that Stephanie Jarvis is a pathological liar as well as a manipulative, scatterbrained idiot when it comes to relaying accurate information about anything ( including herself), and her desire to generate drama for her ongoing video soap opera, any time her lips are moving, any words that come rapidly tumbling out of her mouth should be regarded as a heaping pile of stinking garbage until substantiated by a reliable source of info that is not Jarvis based. Stephanie Jarvis is always to be considered an “ unreliable narrator.” (Shout out to Sister George Michael from Derry Girls for unreliable narrator term).

It is time for Percy’s sons and daughter to shut down elderly Percy’s travels as a character in the Stephanie/Mummy Jarvis/ LieLande traveling tit show. He needs to stay in his home country of South Africa under the supervision of his physician children who can appropriately monitor and quickly respond to any alterations in his fragile condition and manage the interplay of his multiple, complicated health issues. Play time with the selfish, greedy, competitive Jarvis ladies is over.

Former psych nurse for the elderly, Mummy Jarvis, is well aware that incessant traveling, damp, dirty surroundings, spending hours crammed in the back of automobiles, in plane seats, and other mass public settings, eating spartan, eclectic “ meals” at the Dump (were they providing liquid nutritional supplementation to try to offset Percy’s inability to swallow easily and to combat his alarming weight loss?), navigating different unsafe settings not equipped for the safe accommodation of an elderly man, and without immediate access to quality medical care by physicians who are well acquainted with his past health history, etc. to quickly take care of his ever changing condition, etc. Remember where it appeared that Percy had suffered an injury to his head or knee from a fall at the Dump? Percy could easily fall on the stone steps ( with railings) leading to the Mummy apartment and crack his head open. Who from the bumbling Dump crew would even notice?

I think if his sons and daughter have any influence over their father, it is highly unlikely Percy will ever darken the doors of the Dump again. Even if one assumed that Stephanie Jarvis could ever be truthful and accurate about anything, her comments as well as the CD video footage amply illustrate that Percy’s increasingly fragile and constantly changing health issues cannot be appropriately and safely managed long distance through care by multiple providers in multiple countries and settings without putting himself and the general public around him at great risk (of contracting TB, etc.)Percy’s family must be frustrated watching their elderly father fed prison rations, folded up like a piece of origami and crammed into vehicles to be ferried across England and France, and chased with the little pink camera to perform as the current LieLande court jester, all at the whim of the Jarvis crew

Hopefully, Percy will have the best chance to successfully recover from this latest setback in a stable home environment in his home country of South Africa monitored by his physician sons and family members. Could he even be cleared for travel on an airplane with a confirmed diagnosis of TB or could precautions be taken to protect himself and others?

Percy’s family will now have to swat Stephanie Jarvis and her pink camera wielding man hand claws away like a pesky fly as she travels to South Africa for an impromptu vacation and to stay with Mummy. Adding Stephanie Jarvis to the mix rarely makes any situation better. His family must regret the day Percy crossed paths with Mummy.

There are too many holes in Despicable fanny's story. There is no doubt that Percy has been unwell for some time. But I would just like to make these points...

Why was Percy taken to the UK for diagnosis and possible further treatment? I can't believe he has any cover for UK treatment. Why not get him treated in France in that case? Or just go back to South Africa where he is fully covered?

No cancer diagnosis will be made without at least a biopsy and no biopsy is foolproof. Often surgery needs to take place to prove the cancer.

If his sons are medical professionals (and I'm not doubting that they are) why were they not intervening before? Why did Despicable fanny and Gerry "allegedly" stage an intervention for him to see a specialist in Cambridge? This is lies to show her fans that she can make things happen and is a caring and kind Florence Nightingale type..

Mummy 🦇 has been having treatment and follow up treatment for her eyes in UK, certainly because that's where she is still covered by the health service. She maybe French but she's not paid up in France and probably not covered by the national system. That and that alone, I believe, is the reason mummy 🦇 and Percy are in Europe. I have no doubt that Despicable fanny whined and created and threw tantrums that her mother had to be in France for her sodding flog.

Despicable fanny has a pattern, a cycle. Views are down, create a drama - Dan and Annalise, Ian the plasterer, the young lady at the design school, MariE, peachick, hedgehog, now Percy... the list will be endless. Even Pavlinas' arrival was a drama. Drama created excuses will start to be made. "Yes, we're going ahead with the patroen day. I can't let you down, but I will soldier on stoically." Give it a day or two and perhaps we'll hear "that under the circumstances" she felt she couldn't go ahead, she's so worried/sad/concerned. She will also have to postpone scheduled works, the lake/chapel/rest of the heating/anything else. There will be a mercy dash to south Africa thrush in tow. "I'm so worried about Percy I just had to be here". Then she will need to take the inevitable break to recover from the sadness/worry/concern. It's all been so draining. And voila, no work on the tit'o for the foreseeable.

I am not a cynical person but I can smell bullshit and lies and all of this is bullshit and lies.

There is a silver lining to the patroen day being cancelled... that beckybaconeater and her delightful sister have booked non refundable travel and accommodation.

Wow so you all think Marie is Clara ? Well well children this is getting interesting
This was something I wrote when Clara was creating drama - Its only a guess

From patreon day we can say - its probably not a guest ( unless they are a frequent flyer)

We can rule out fanny herself and her hang along limp she calls a BOY friend.

We can rule out Mummy and Percy

We can rule out Oncle and tante - they are too deep in this tit and benefit way to much to go against them.

Same applies for Natzi and Cuz

We can rule out Michael Petherick - didn't attend - he is a mess of is own accord- But may have some links to the old house keepers if they crossed in day and they may have partied togther ( although he is only in some pictures)

Nick Larkin ( bag head) never around - Seems to be MIA more often than he is there. maybe financially unhappy now the place is sinking. Doesn't visit often enough to get intel?

Baghead's Marie - Patried with Fanny in the day- maybe is unhappy with her husbands infatuation with the other women- Likey knows more about the finances ( as husband part owner) and partied in the day and is in some pictures?

Manor and Maker - too infatuated Did the tiles and had them as guests recently.

Oliver- just started a company with fanny- reason?

dan the not so big man - unclear on exact terms when left chateau de la dump. Was deffo unhappier compared to years ago - Unless Clara is playing double bluff she claims to not know or be interested in Annalise and Dan situation and is not up to date with Dump 2.0

Potts - Is around only periodically and has ties to the old housekeepers,- benefit? Maybe due to his failing marriage to Ruth.

Ruth - again is only periodically around - maybe bitter thanks to streps interference with her marriage that maybe contributed to its ending.

Maria - too engrained in the dump, arrived long after the clara stories started and whilst probably has beef with the dumpress does she have the intel to be clara.

Dana - old mate of fanny - met and was close to the old keepers- partied in the day and is around often enough to get info and is engrained enough that people might tell her things ( as a freind)

Pavlina - If she openly exposes Fanny - maybe outed for her ? fake refugee status - aslo arrived long after Clara was associated to the chateau

We can rule out the new gardener ( she hasn't been around long enough)

Marie - was used and dumped by fanny. Reappears for patreon day. Would have good reason to be displeased with fanny- Dunno if she would have any interest/ knowledge of finances. Seems very easily pliable to be Fanny's BFF once she returns.

Kirsty - Maybe info source- Lives locally and has done for years, Is probably more locally connected than fanny and if the old housekeepers live nearby there is a good chance they know each other?

Annalise - Is a source close to fanny periodically. may resent Fanny for blasting her breakup with dan. If she is close to ? kirsty that would explain the protectiveness around not discussing the situation (especially if she knows more BTS stuff and sees her struggle as a single parent to those boys)

Kat - was fannies BFF- is not a present on vlogs as she use to be.

Andy - ? reason for being Clara

Nick the tree surgeon - Arrived long after the Clara. Works more alongside Cuz. - Would not have access to the lies regarding funding and patreon

I wonder if Percy's family even knew there was a issue? If Stoic Percy was not wanting to fuss maybe he didn't tell them. If thats the case i agree they will probably say no more travel for the foreseeable future and hopefully will keep a closer eye on Mummy and percy and the prision ration. I'm not sure of the infection risk to others. Hopefully the dr will give them a good talking to for traveling to a cold dump and i doubt he will travel again

My grandmother had TB and spent sometime in a sanatorium and I recall as a young child the whole family having chest X-rays. I didn't have BCG as a teen as my test showed that I was already protected. My younger brother and sister did need it though. Many years later, a colleague who coincidentally had returned from working in SA, tested positive and we were all tested as contacts. Once again, I was ok and didn't need a BCG.

Fanny says that B and B guests were unaware of the situation re Percy's health. Does this mean that they have since contacted those guests who were in contact with him so that they could be tested? It doesn't sound likely.
Well hopefully, if they have any sense at all they would use the vlog as their notification to do so...
