i have done a little internet googling

page 4 tells you a bit more.....
EDIT; actually the rest of the thread is interesting too! Miss P has repeated a lot of what she has on here but a few more details.0 -
Yes I read that thread. I still think she was a troll.
Interesting read thoughMetranil dreams of becoming a neon,You don't even take him seriously,How am I going to get to heaven?,When I'm just balanced so precariously..0 -
How totally bizzare!
Was an interesting read though.0 -
I don't think she was a troll; it was all too detailed for a hoax.
Just rather weird!0 -
Is the advert still in the newspaper now? I wonder why she is so bad to work for!0

Sounds like she interviews people getting them to bring her shopping as they come and then does the same the next week. Freebie shopper, sounds clever.0

Its not really a freebie shopper, though, as she has to pay for the advert. It would be cheaper to do an online shop with Tesco (or even Ocado!)I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0 -

Why are people assuming she isn't actually reimbursing people the cost of the shopping? I'm sure if she wasn't, there'd be far more adverse publicity about her!“You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”0
