ARO thread 2

[OneHeartySnail]

To continue the discussion...

What next? What did the launch aim to achieve? Did it get the desired result?

Actually best ignore, maybe get fed up and go away. Just derailing the post, so juvenile.

I put Fanny Craddock into the Gif search and this is what I got….

No, she isn't.

Is Harry the Johnny to Meghan’s Fanny? (Ooh Matron!)

I put Fanny Craddock into GiF Search and this is what I got…

What the hell is that chicken sitting on?

Dear, dear Johnny. Such a frightfully game old cove.

Who cares what she calls herself. She is living proof that you can’t buy grace or class.

I think you meant “…derailing the online bullying of a woman we’ve never met because she dares to exist”

🙄

I appreciate the vocabulary lesson.

What is it called when someone fetishises a woman solely because of her heritage? A man solely because he married someone with a particular heritage?

Some of those Fanny Craddock gifs are dashed peculiar.

Alright ladies, you all have a wonderful evening. 💚

It's almost too easy

So well said - it would be a shame to see yet another largely informative thread zapped because people rise to obvious provocation

I know, I did fall for it. That nonsense just pisses me off so much! It's lazy and stupid.

Just ignore, ignore.

"May all your doughnuts turn out like Fannys"

A line so famous there's even a podcast about it!

BBC Radio 4 - Funny in Four, "May all your doughnuts turn out like Fanny's"

That’s a legacy page, which is made clear as it is dated. The current information about H&M does not describe them as his or her royal highness. Every other royal named and includes that they are his or her royal highness.

I'm not sure I'm keen on the idea of raspberry and gin jam or preserve, because juniper is a very strong flavour, is it not?

But it obviously must sell well.

The 17 of 50 should have been written in a good pen

I'm no marketing expert though I've been forced into having opinions on company 'branding' over the years. The way that the 10/50 and 17/50 have been written is presumably supposed to look rustic? It's certainly not 'luxe'.

Or is the premise the same as those Picasso lithographs whereby the items became more valuable and collectible because he apparently numbered them in his own hand?

Or is there a deliberate 'air of mystery'? Because I think that could mean that the intern did it which devalues any suggestion of authentic provenance.

I'd also want to know if the 'grammers had genuinely tasted it, and where it's really from, and what's in it, before buying.

The overall 'look' of the jam jar all seems a bit mangled to me tbh - but that's just this one poster's personal opinion obvs.

The final line of this BBC article is Chef's Kiss:

First product of Meghan's lifestyle brand revealed - BBC News

That entire article is a piss take.

"Spread amongst friends"

The bit about the the £3.95 jam from the palace gift shop

The last line - fnarr!
