This thread title is so perfect, it’s like it was all leading up to this.

I don’t actually think we live in Jack’s thread rent-free, but I bet when she started ”working” with Curry’s, even she thought, “oh crap, there’s going to be a Tattle thread called Bung it In A Curry’s now isn’t there”.

Maybe this is the culmination of it all. I’m amazed she is managing to stay off socials which suggests to me someone has taken all the tech or perhaps she has been locked up for her crimes against food/povs

Currys are a bunch of shifty feckers. I once chose a washing machine from their online store. Big name brand, €125 or thereabouts knocked off the price and the dimensions were spot on for the space available in my kitchen.

"Not in stock."

Feck.

"Here's a selection of other brands for slightly more money but less spec than the patently fake offer we used to reel you in."

I went elsewhere instead.

For a few months afterward, I'd select random big spend goods "on offer" from their website and most of the time would get the same switcheroo.

Yes, your experience matches mine. Thought about buying a microwave there a few years back and got very similar results -- the offered good deal wasn't available and they pushed me hard towards a much more expensive model but their sales people were so disinterested and badly informed that I took my business elswhere. Won't ever shop with Curry's again.

The rumour of her comeback was supposed to be around Christmas.
Was this a soft re-introduction to measure if public opinion has changed and whether she has any strong support left?
Judging from the reaction I still think she's ducked. Good 🎉🥳🎉

Someone with a better recollection than me might be able to confirm but wasn't the original notification about guset Munroe's comeback in a rather "Tee hee, big reveal, wait and see!" breathless style which would fit with @RandomFishOils description of the PR agency muppets most likely involved in this farrago?

Thanks for that. I don't want to start a rumour that's inaccurate.

Noooooooooo!

In honour of Jack's efforts, I have lifted my fingers to the copy-and-paste buttons and "curated" a selection of affordable recipes using air fryers and pressure cookers on our Economy Gastronomy thread:

Economy gastronomy

Been down a Tom Kerridge rabbit hole just now and found these two recipes which might be interesting: Another Tom toastie recipe. Would work with feta instead of mozzarella for a spanakopita-type sarnie: https://tomkerridge.com/recipes/mushroom-melt-toastie/ And can't resist adding this...
tattle.life

All sourced from BBC Food. Instead of wasting money and food on Jack's terrible slops, have a look here.

Oh god, she's going to be this year's John Lewis ad, isn't she? 😂 A crumbly little Jack is seen slowly making her way down the high street, walking stick in one hand, battered shopping trolley in the other. Tears fill her eyes are she reminisces of years gone by. A vape shop now were Woolworths once was, her favourite Turkish barbers replaced the haberdashery. She can't afford this year's traditional Christmas dinner of eels and mash but fear not, Big D & E have ordered her a home delivery from John Lewis and everyone was happy. THE END 😡

Oh no I fear this being true! It seems ever more likely now!

You joke, but beware, many predictions made here really do come true...
 
Her downfall truly warms my heart. I didn't think we'd see it.

I think a slow fade into obscurity combined with a fear of opening her pathologically dishonest gob is actually better than a crash and burn. People like her love drama and misery as much as they enjoy success. Absolute irrelevance is just... *chef's kiss*.
