This is a little off-savoygate topic, but something that I spotted when watching one of the vlogs randomly a while ago..
She was giving the guys working in her garden Fortnum and Mason biscuits. She said something along the lines of, I don't know why I want to give them F&M but I just like doing that for them.
And then I remember that time when some other tradespeople (can't remember, maybe some decorators? there have been so many) broke some fancy mugs that she gave them to use.
These people don't expect that - they're busy, they're doing a very physical job and they don't want to have to be cautious and worry about not smashing a mug that costs an insane amount of money. Equally, they don't expect to be getting a pack of F&M biscuits which can cost like £15 a packet - they're just after the fuel/energy it gives them and of course, it's a nice thoughtful gesture. I know some tradespeople get FA when they're working somewhere.
But, to get to my point... she feels like she has something to prove to the people she's employing - but in my opinion, these guys don't care and are just there to do a job but she wants to paint this illusion that she's so wealthy that she can give these people all these fancy things. When in real fact, most normal people would realise the true value of these items, especially as is usually is #kindlygifted. She doesn't realise that offering a set of biscuits that cost that much money, is just unnecessary and a bit insane. By all means, get your tradespeople some nice biscuits - like Fox's as opposed to supermarket own, but to give them something of that value is just insane.
And the reason why she feels she has to show off to the people working on her home is because she has very few people in her life whom she can show off this 'wealth' too. It's not like she's got a big group of similarly-minded friends who can experience her luxury mugs and offer after-dinner F&M biscuits.... so the only people she can share that with are the people she has employed.
... or maybe that's me
By the way, I hope this doesn't come across as disrespectful to tradespeople - I hope I got my point across that I mean it only for when they're working on a job - they're not going to be expecting their clients best china which is what I feel she gives them.
Luckily I was able to take some washing to my mum’s today, but I’m wondering if the local Premier Inn might chuck our stuff in with the housekeeping if I do a rave post about their Hypnos beds.
