Hey! I’ve been following you on “the other one” for years and interacted here and there - just wanted to say it was awesome seeing your name crop up on a platform that is so much kinder 🙂 onward and upward hopefully!
To be fair, it's a consumer affairs / money section, dealing with a reader's complaint, so it's unfair to have a go at the Telegraph.
I have less sympathy for the reader who blew all that money on an induction hob without understanding their limitations (they're picky about which pans work)
I hope you're not suggesting the entire article is an intellectually dishonest pearl-clutching attack on induction hobs to make people think twice about replacing that gas burner?
It’s astonishing, isn’t it? For a “newspaper” (in reality the Boris Johnson Fanclub magazine) that’s spent most of the last decade pouring scorn on how out of touch the “Metropolitan Elites” are, that article is amazing, not least because it doesn’t seem to be the parody it reads as.
Have you seen the beauty and fashion sections of the Guardian newspaper? Eye watering prices. So miss Sali Hughes. I support the Guardian by subscription and always will.
“Boohoo! I’m rich and I’m trying desperately to ignore the wolves at my door by bitching about things that literally no one who makes less than $300,000/year has any frame of reference for.”
First world problems @telegraphnews.bsky.social Perhaps you could instead concentrate on the transphobic nonsense emanating from your once-great newspaper?
Personally, I’m furious that the Telegraph hasn’t yet got round to posting any content on its Bluesky account. One of the things I miss about Twitter is having bonkers articles like this, along with Allister Heath’s unhinged jeremiads, in my feed. Unintentional comedy gold. https://bsky.app/profile/telegraphnews.bsky.social

I mean, I sometimes find gravity annoying but I don't think an editor would pay me to write an article about it. 😆
(Because that's exactly what it is.)
Or ignore the value of actually talking with sales-persons.
PS I'll take the Le Creuset off them.
Le Crueset is overrated and rusts.
