It seems they've cruised along nicely. Thank you tax payer. 20 holidays in 1 year

Nah it’s not a benefits thing.
My impression is that they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer (especially her) and lack self awareness. And their fans/followers are of similar levels of intelligence.

Don't hold back!! 😂

What on earth are you wittering about? Who are you talking about and what have they done.
Yes, i could google, but it's rude to start a thread with no context

Christmaseason · 17/12/2024 18:31

They do have an amazing amount of holidays and I thought I had a lot.

Toomanysquishmallows · 17/12/2024 18:31

@12purplepencils , I’m pretty sure she has given birth 22 times , sadly one boy was stillborn.

BobbyBiscuits · 17/12/2024 18:32

The parents do not seem very smart or appealing. I'm not a fan and don't understand why they are famous. It's gross that the dad started having unprotected sex with the mum when she was 13, and I think the first kid was conceived when she was 14?

How could someone want to be pregnant for pretty much their entire life.
I think it would be appalling to have to be one of dozens of siblings, all a year apart.
You'd feel like you were living in a children's home.

Apparently the pies are shite. And if course a tiny regional pie firm couldn't sustain that size of a family. So I guess it's good they've got money from the telly and not the taxpayer.

And hopefully all those children will grow into pleasant, contributing members of society. There's enough child free adults to offset their kids school costs i imagine.

Well the ones who have moved out have gone to the council to be housed, because the parents are too busy spaffing money on holidays rather than helping the children. One of the daughters has 3 kids by 22, and the oldest child, doesn’t see his children at all. So don’t hold your breath.

Yuk. First baby born when he was 18 and she was 14.

Yuck indeed. From grok:

  • Sue Radford was 13 when she first became pregnant, and Noël was 17 at the time. They were both below and above the age of consent, respectively, in the UK, where the age of consent is 16.

People are so naive. The tax payer paid out a fortune for them before they got successful with their social media and tv career. He’s not Mr Kipling fgs. And giving birth 22 times, sending all those kids to school etc doesn’t come cheap.

Well, quite. I think we are still supposed to believe the magic pie shop spin.

Dramatic · 17/12/2024 18:37

I used to quite like watching them in the older series but the new ones are scripted and set up which is really irritating.

I don't care about their lifestyle and where they make their money from to be honest.

I highly doubt that anything they may, or may not have received, in a past life is a patch on the amount of taxes they will have paid into the system since

BeLilacSloth · 17/12/2024 18:37

I cannot believe they’ve become so popular and successful, they really are the most gormless couple.

suburburban · 17/12/2024 18:38

I used to like them but they now come across as shallow and wasteful.

Tbh I think their dc will follow suit with having dc.

They are not encouraged to have a career

Betsybee88 · 17/12/2024 18:39

Tbf I think a lot of their viewers order out of loyalty to the family. I know they ship out a few online orders.
But tbh they get their money from tv/social media don't they. That's what gets the cash rolling in. People must watch for their contracts to keep being renewed.

WeeOrcadian · 17/12/2024 18:40

I always wondered HOW MUCH their pies sell for to be able to support all those kids

And he's creepy, makes my skin crawl. What kind of 18 yr old bonks a 14 (13?) year old? Bleugh

Ljh2019 · 17/12/2024 18:40

Not to mention they've just been on holiday with the Inghams - the father of the family has a very dubious recent history (Chris Ingham) so I was confused with the willingness to associate with them.

Justforfun123 · 17/12/2024 18:40

What's the taxpayer got to do with it? They own a bakery and get enough money from tv

They have not done too badly for a "gormless Couple" though, have they? People should just mind their own business, and leave them alone.

bumblefeline · 17/12/2024 18:41

Can't believe these lot associate with the Inghams after what creepy Chris has done.

When the taxpayers fund their brood....
When they put their life out on show. Of course people will have an opinion.

If they wanted people to 'mind their own business' they would just live a 'normal life' and not pretend to think they're famous...

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 17/12/2024 18:25

Thank you taxpayer 😂 they've got a successful business and make a fortune from social media. I can think of worse people to get riled up about. Their lifestyle choice really doesn't offend me in the slightest much as my brain is blown at the thought of that many kids!

It's bad for the environment to have so many kids. Think of all the nappies and consumption.

I’m allowed my opinion aren’t I? 😂 if you don’t like what people are saying maybe you should leave this thread

Do you really think they're living that sort of lifestyle and getting money off the taxpayer ?? Fucking hell 🤣🤣🤣

And I can guarantee they'll be earning far too much to get child benefit. Honestly 😶

ChristmasinBrighton · 17/12/2024 18:26

Well I applaud their attempts to bolster the number of future tax payers.

I don’t know who people think is going to pay their pensions and healthcare unless we can reverse the ageing demographic trend.

This. Absolutely this.
