I have got 5 minutes in and the lies are just flowing out of her.
Apparently Jack is working class, no mention of the detached residence or landlord father with an MBE (you know, like all working class people have)
Her breakfast had to be the biggest box of food that Leon sell. Yet she says she has overcome her disordered eating.
Her dad is Greek Cypriot (no he is not) her mother is Northern Irish, though no mention of how that was reflected in the food.
Then she had a slightly difficult relationship with food because she went to a grammar school. No mention of how she overcame it.
Food was a family affair, simple working class food, pie and mash and Sunday roast. You could hear her flailing around thinking "what do the poors eat?". She has no idea what working class people eat, she just says what she thinks they eat. Most people just eat ordinary food day to day. Even middle class people don't eat caviar, foie gras and truffles every day. I am surprised she didn't say jellied eels and pea liquor. No mention of the Greek food she remembers so vividly, or the Birds trifle.
She gave her job up because her childcare arrangements failed. It appears to me (just an assumption M'Lord) that her Mum was the main person assisting with childcare (and why not, she has loads of experience with foster kids, and she wouldn't turn her back on her own grandchild) and Jack took the piss.
Jack applied for 300 jobs and never got one. What jobs was she applying for, was she under or overqualified? Why did 300 businesses that were recruiting staff think Jack was not suitable? Could it possibly be something Jack was doing/writing in her CV/saying at interview that put them off? Of course it was never anything to do with the way Jack presented herself that made them think "trouble with a big T"
At this point I had to switch off, it was too much to listen to when you are looking out for the lies. Especially when they are so easy to spot.
I do wonder if she's based her personality around Basil sometimes, LJC being Manuel in this instance.
