    She can answer herself about that one, I was merely pointing out that having a go for the photos isn't really fair. You know she comes on here, maybe you should be a bit nicer? :D
    A bit nicer,i for one wasnt being awful in the first place,i just stated how it would look to others going onto her blog.
    Ok she might be a member here but when did that stop anyone having an opinion?

    I quite liked PP's blog and I have tbh and thought the photographs were of her and her pantry.But its been revealed that they arent and while I find it a little strange that she should post pictures of a pretty blonde on her website Its her website to do with what she wants.I say cut the lady some slack and enjoy the blog and for what its worth I soooo want that pantry!

    I think we're all suffering pantry envy here :D

    PP has so little original material and is quite blatently nicking stuff from Old Style threads and other places - sometimes she quotes the original source and sometimes she doesnt; the sheer volume of 'borrowed' material is what makes it unacceptable to me. Its not a blog in any real sense of the word, its a patchwork of bits of other websites. If you want a good original blog, take a look at Rhonda Jean's http://down---to---earth.blogspot.com or Kethry's http://kethry.wordpress.com/ - they are both members here!

    I'm just off to write a story about a boy who lived in the workhouse and dared to ask for more food - what? Dickens already did it? so????? :confused:

    Naah!!! Between the information on the blog and information on MSE, it's really not that difficult to work out who it is ;) :shhh: But, I'm not saying *anything* :whistle: :silenced:

    Well said Rosieben, the blogs I read regularly are based on peoples real lives (as far as I can tell) including Kethry's & Harduphester which is why I enjoy them so much.

    I wont bother with this one again but saying that I do spend too much time reading blogs anyway, and yes Chameleon you are right - sorry to ask you. If the person is a decent person anyway I should think they would say who they are - they obviously benefit a lot from this board (as do we all).

    Lesley, up to a point, you do have a point - however, plagiarism is a real problem on the internet and goes beyond simply posting blonde pictures and someone else's pantry! People post on MSE in good faith, they know that this site asserts copyright on all comments posted on the board. However, for someone to take that information, pass it off as their own, well, it's plain dishonest! *THIS* site, is Martin Lewis' website - we are able to post here simply through his generosity in giving us a forum to do so - does that give all users here the right to set up their own website, copy the information, pass it off as their own? :confused:

    It's Martin's website to do with as he wants - and that includes a clause which clearly states "This site asserts copyright on all comments posted on the board" ... now, if the lady had reposted her OWN content, that might be different - but, she isn't! She is posting Nigella's recipes, Jamie Oliver's recipes (with permission/consent? :confused: ) *and* taken recipes from this website (and the OS forum in particular) and used them as her own. She has posted Tesco voucher codes from here too. It's not simply a matter of taking someone else's photo's so "cut her some slack". ;)
