This comedy response to Kirstie Allsopp’s complaint about a couple giving their child an iPad just gets better and better
You’ll probably know by now – you can hardly avoid it, given the amount we’ve written about it – how Kirstie Allsopp took umbrage at a couple who gave their child an iPad to keep them occupied while they had breakfast.
Just to recap (briefly, honest).

And we mention it again – again! – because the estimable @MrJoeGooch recorded a right of reply in the guise of the very couple she was whinging about. And very fabulous it was too.

But it got even better when Allsopp tweeted this …
It seems someone on X is saying they are the father, they aren’t. The identity of the family in my tweet was heavily disguised and they did not see or know me. Secondly, the Dad on X is saying my “group” sat down after him. I ate breakfast alone yesterday.

… and while we can’t be 100% sure it’s @MrJoeGooch she is talking about, it’s surely a fair bet, right?
And was @MrJoeGooch going to let that pass? Of course he wasn’t, and the whole thing just got better and better.

The irony that she picked up her “screen” then probably spent all day on it reading comments and replying
