Not an expert here, but isn't *any* amount of leaking gas dangerous?
It only becomes explosive at a certain level. But a gas leak in your house is absolutely less than desirable. If you ever smell gas, advice is to ring the national gas emergency line on 0800 111 999 and to ventilate the property. Smoking a fag and or using appliances/lights etc a big no no

Good catch, this is exactly what I was thinking might be the case! The shop/s just seems like such odd thing to do as an adjunct to a plumbing/heating business and have been run in such a half-arsed way. I wonder if he was able to get a free/cheap lease on them through the CIC, and used them to create “jobs” for the missus and daughter.
Edited to add: i nearly cringed myself inside out reading that article. The idea that people in crisis should be wandering into a shop in tears and being offered “a chat and a brew” by James’s daughter to solve their problems. In what world does that make sense??

So Jimmy has done another (three!!!!!) PUBLIC information/transparency posts that are about as transparent as a brick wall.

Firstly the issue of the children’s presents - conflicting stories have already been given on this. Tickets to Jimmy’s grotty Christmas grotto were £4 a pop, but you got a “free” toy with that. Before Jimmy deleted Twitter there were complaints that someone turned up for the grotto well before the indicated closing time and Jimmy had already shut up shop. The “free” presents that were also charged £10 p&p too - which many NEVER received as documented by MG/others on Twitter. We have already said on here that it would not cost £10 to send any kind of low value gift via any UK delivery service. Plus anyone with that £10 to spare could afford to buy gifts themselves for their kids.

Second the slow cookers/air fryer issue - we’ve discussed already on these threads but why on earth would the council need or want “500” slow cookers and air fryers. On his point about giving them to schools, again, what use does this provide for them?! Schools have functioning catering and kitchen equipment. He says that these were purchased for these specific purposes yet we have seen tombola winners with air fryers and slow cookers. Jimmy claims all things for the tombola are purchased by them.

Which brings me thirdly to the tombola. Clearly the majority of these are donated items as he said the donations shop, selling all kinds of tat, has now turned into a “funbola” shop. I’ve already posted screenshots of his posts showing the crap people have won. Note his language here “2023 we had the tombola” yet just days ago he was promoting the tombola shop which indicates it’s still running.

The collective screenshots of multiple Amazon orders proves NOTHING lmao as it doesn’t even show what’s been purchased. This could be anything. The card numbers also switch between 9143 (Depher company card) and one ending 9150. Again causing more confusion.

TLDR; Jimmy is a liar (shock) and can’t keep his stories straight on what he is spending money on or using donated items for.

The only "public transparency information" he needs to provide is to Companies House and the CIC regulator. If he wanted to be transparent he would provide full accounts rather than use the micro-entity exemptions. We look forward to reading his next set of account.

💯
The “funbola” (irritating name) has obviously been dreamt up to keep the shop going as a job creation scheme for his wife/daughter and to offload unwanted stuff from all the social media begging and his poor planning.
I bet loads of people donated toys thinking they would go to needy kids and they are gathering dust. he could have passed the toys on to a children’s charity but he doesn’t like other charities.
He went out and bought hundreds of slow cookers without knowing if there was any demand for them and now he’s stuck with them.

Sorry I should have clarified. James claims trolls have broken the law by editing his Wikipedia page lmao
Add Wikipedia to the list of things James doesn’t understand.
