I'm on a train opposite Liz Jones from the Daily Mail

[Zenana]

From Huddersfield to York. An eye opener.

After reading the posts on here I'm very proud to say I've never heard of her!

If this is Nirpal, then yes he did come across as a total dick, from her perspective and also any other

😂
We’ve had:
’I love Liz’ x2
‘I have a bit of a soft spot for her’
‘I think she is wonderful’
and more

How do you know it was her?!
I am useless at recognising people I actually know nevermind random vaguely well known people

She is well known. She used to write about her neighbours but no longer does that. I am a fan totally.

Does Jane come from Wakefield? I’ve never heard her mention it…..

Jeeze.

I'm so happy I don't have even a vaguely recognisable face.

I met her once. It was horrible. I gave a few statements on something related to a story she was doing (I was only about 19, in my defence, I would never speak to anyone from the Daily Mail now). She acted nice to my face, then completely misrepresented me in her paper, inserted her own bias and made out I was either lying or hopelessly misinformed. She also commented on my personal appearance in a way that was superficially complimentary but phrased in a way to imply "its a good thing she's pretty because she's stupid".

She's horrible.

I thought she'd retired.

Probably she was just jealous of you. You were young and pretty, things she's neither.

This is where she lives now. It's a lovely house:

I know! I didn't realise how short the journey would be. I had to change train.

How can she afford a train? According to her shes bankrupt x 10

I like her writing. I think she writes well and is very entertaining to read.
I always feel a bit sorry for her - she comes across as having terribly low self esteem that is having a battle with a monsterous ego - like a lot of actor and performer types.

She shouldn't really have such low self esteem as she is a talented writer, could really be stunning if she was celeb styled, is slim at an age when most of us are fighting flab and has had an interesting career.

When I read some of the stuff she writes about dating and bad treatment from men and how she feels about herself, I just want to give her a hug and take her out for a martini.

Can't believe you didn't get involved in a chat with her @Zenana I couldn't have resisted.

She pulled a Prada wallet out of her bag when the train conductor came round. I was rubbernecking at her bag but I couldn't work out what it was.

Had no idea she was still a journalist! Obviously I never sully myself with the DM.
Didnt she used to write for the Evening Standard back when it was a real paper?
She must be about my age too …

@Beaverbridge

Maybe. She's not exactly known for supporting other women. I was absolutely gutted at the time, all naively looking forward to seeing my name in the paper.

Well, it's been a while since there was a Liz Jones thread on Mumsnet.

I just remember her saying (when she was supposedly broke) that Jo Malone candles at £50 a pop were some of her ‘essentials’.

Has it? I've never seen one.

From train travel? 😁

What do you mean, how does anyone recognise anyone else? Surely because they know what that person looks like

She's always been a bit of a KatieP - always brassic but eating at Le Manoir, or a weekend on a yacht in Monaco or Antibes if the season is busy.

Free train pass for pensioners in England aren't there?

😂🤣😄😂
