There is no need to be rude to forumites, it's unnecessary and distasteful. We all have a right to our opinions and we're going to somtimes disagree but not to insult eachother. I think Brissles can rise above it but maybe somebody else wouldn't be able to brush it off.
Ruth Langsford makes a killing and that's nice for her. I admit,I am not completely inenvious, we would all love a little more on the bottom line. But there is also a thing called being greedy! I don't appreciate the "club" she and Jackie like to elude to during their shows together. Mutual backslapping and stroking Ruth's not inconsiderable ego from regular buyers of her items. I am sick of seeing snake prints but even more sick of Ruth and Jackie apologising to some silly woman who freaks out at the sight of the mere print. If it is so terrible for her, she shouldn't watch! Now we have a function at Old Billingsgate market, for a hefty fee and you can even upgrade to a VIP ticket, where presumably she may deign to say hello to you, whoopee-do! To me, the whole event smacks of "I love myself".
Her clothes are not fantastic quality fabric and are manufactured in China for peanuts. No wonder she is raking it in, buy low and sell high. I would have more respect for her if she had her clothes made in the UK or Europe by fairly paid workers and not slave labour in China and she is rich enough to be able to afford to take a stance against the cheap clothing industry. She would make less profit but could do so much good for people and the planet.
