Folks like the Lodge Guys will have benefitted through the lockdowns and isolation of COVID. They’ve given out this false sense of belonging - “become part of our group / family”.
Heck I’ve been tempted a couple of times at the beginning and I had the normality of still going out to my workplace but as Charlotte and Nicky could tell us all, this doesn’t last and although you might be a “chosen-one” for a while, someone else will come along with more TLGs can leech from them and you’ll be dumped. And a lot of the folks don’t even reach “chosen-one” status. These are the folks who are firmly plopped at the end of the long table at the meet ups, watching TLG cackle with Jade and Hannah and paying for their hotel meal themselves. I wouldn’t put it past the ”chosen ones” suggesting they having a collection at these event so the Lodgers have to pay for Prick and Pouty’s meals too
