As someone with autism and ADHD it’s all making me really cross - I know no two people are alike but IMO this is not the best representation of neurodiversity.

And I have a feeling neurodiversity is going to be her next big ‘thing’ (following on from poverty, trans, vegan, addiction etc) - features in the Guardian about how she managed live tv, how workplaces should be more accommodating and open minded etc. And yes they should but bleeping hell I really don’t want her to be the self appointed spokesperson.
I think you're right. She already wrote an article for the Guardian on this, claiming kinship with Greta Thunberg and attributing her maverick genius move of putting tinned peaches in curry to her autism. It was both tedious and suspect.
 
I just don’t see the point of going through every tweet about the show. Do your job and feel proud in the job you’ve done. There is no need to interact with everyone after. That’s what the shows socials are for. If you get a direct tweet then fine, but imo it just looks really unprofessional.

but how will she satisfy her desperate need for attention if she doesn’t constantly search her own name on Twitter
 
She is so bloody aggressive. There was no point in showing the piece on afternoon tea if one presenter thinks they are a waste of money and the other has never had one. It was poor planning on behalf of the show not just Jack 🙄

And just goes to show that yet again she thinks afternoon tea is only for the rich. We had a lovely afternoon tea at our local Dobbies garden centre in January.
Groupon is full of afternoon tea deals, it really isn't that 'fancy' 😂 she lives on another bloody planet.
 
You know how prisoners make food in their kettles, like from basics to some quite innovative dishes tbh using a few different bits, I feel like some of these insane recipe substitutions are verging on that level of innovation?

Someone I was at uni with has had a book published pretty recently about the time he spent in prison for some kind of tax fraud (it’s quite a good read if anyone is bored because, you know, lockdown). He mentions the whole “cooking in a kettle“ thing and it’s strangely impressive. Maybe they could line him up for the next series to co-host with Matt. Failing that, “Cooking in a Kettle” would be a great title for Jack’s next book!
 
I've closed my window now, but I think around 20 minutes in. The farmer union or whatever guy interview had so many terrible bits.

Live TV is as easy as pie if you've got the nack, if you haven't it's excruciating.


Mumsnet the site where a parent at whits end goes for advice only to have pages of abuse hurled directly at them but tattle that place where people discuss public figures that turned themselves into the Truman show as business and is easy to ignore is vile 🤷‍♀️ You can get an edit button there for only £50 :LOL:
So true! I used to be on Mumsnet quite a bit. Never came over here because I thought it was vile. Then JM made me check out Tattle, and honestly, people are so much nicer to each other here. And even the 'abuse' directed at JM is mostly just criticism of her work. Very, very few personal attacks. The main objection I can see is that she bullied her way onto TV and is not very good at it. Seems perfectly reason and legit.
 
Pass the sick bucket... :sick:

She’s insufferable. As someone else mentioned you can get a lovely afternoon tea at most garden centres, farm shops etc. There’s a family owned cafe that do a really nice one in the village where I live, the dairy farm up the road does a super cute tea for like £8 a head. Half the stuff she says she can’t do because she’s poor is bullshit. She just doesn’t go anywhere or do anything because she’s boring and has the personality of a squashed snail.
Or she does go places, lots of them. Like I said before, her bullshit knows no bounds, her arrogance knows no bounds at all. One day this will all come back to bite her in the arse.

Omg thisssssss. I've realised that one of the main things getting on my tits is how she's presenting neurodiversity. Like, of course, workplaces should build in inclusivity to their processes wherever possible (ie. accountability checks, additional drafting stages) but having a condition like ADHD or ASD should not then affect the end result. You shouldn't have to forego excellence because of it, as long as it is accommodated.

I truly wish I got to ignore guidelines for the reports and journal articles I submit and just write them how my disordered brain would like, but I can't! Jack has to realise that ok, her ingredients may be lined up differently by the production team, and that's great, but it doesn't excuse her finished meals looking like something the half-Maine-Coon sicked up.
 
I turned it off when they started the interview with the man and have just caught up with the thread , good work Tattlers 👍.

*I loathe Jack Monroe, she’s a rubbish cook based on the utter bilge she’s churned out on this show, she’s rude ,immature , snotty and has an ego that has difficulty getting through the door because of its size.

*just my opinion, of course 😁.

Carrots and oats ? , what the actual duck?🙄😲.
 
She is, truly, one of the most passive-aggressive twats ever. She gives Sali Hughes a run for her money.

Ok Jack I’ll bite, I’ve been to Claridges for afternoon tea. It cost about £50 and was honestly worth every single penny. It was a lovely experience, even though it’s clear we will never be regulars we were warmly welcomed and treated beautifully.
The food was lovely and we got take away bags for spare cakes we couldn’t eat. I can’t rate it highly enough, I actually don’t think it was that expensive for the experience we had.

For me it was a one off treat and it was just brilliant. People are allowed to chose to have ’expensive‘ treats, equally afternoon tea is quite common round here...tourist town and you can pay £12 for a lovely afternoon.

They were both at fault here and could have simply said, it’s not something I have done but after lockdown I might consider it.

I loathe the idea that everything that isn’t 23p time of beans being washed in carrot juice is too posh, people are allowed to have aspirations and experiences beyond their daily life.

Claridges was so welcoming and accessible to anyone, there really wasn’t a hint of a snotty attitude from anyone we met (I know it’s not cheap) but she makes out it’s is only for ‘posh’ people.

Sounds interesting, I'd be interested in reading that. Any more details so I can find it please, author or title. Thank you.

This. If you can go to Covent Garden to buy your Pengaligon's perfume and to Soho to prop up the bar at the Groucho, you can afford a nice afternoon tea. You'd think that the experience would be on the hit list of anyone enthusiastic about food, never mind someone who's made it their livelihood.
