As for finding her attractive, Shambles, words fail me.

Not sure that I said that I found Jade (or her mother) to be physically attractive. She is not my type and Shipa's looks are far more to my taste - but it is said that beauty is only skin deep.

It is what lies underneath the made-up image that is important. What I detect underneath Shilpa's manicured apprearance is not very attractive at all.   

Jade is far more sinned against than sinner - and apart from her general knowledge - is usually more often right than wrong.

She is certainly outspoken and has a tendancy to fire other people's bullets for them, while they sit back and allow her to take to resulting flak. A point perfectly demonstated in the first spat with Ken Russell - who was clearly in the wrong for selfishly, if not perhaps intentionally threatening other peoples food budget by his actions but didn't much like this being pointed out to him (by Jade).

For it was in fact Shilpa who first pointed out what he was doing wrong. And who then watched as Jade was made out to be in the wrong and accused - by the far better educated Mr Russell - of having a screw loose for taking issue with his anti-social act.

This was probably not wise of Jade and it was not wise when it was her who actually challenged Dirk over not sharing his whisky - when it was others who were doing the grumbling and making these bullets, behind his back.   

But as I have said - the person who has never been guilty of unwise actions can cast the first stone.
