Ability to bake cakes somehow now âa thingâ
The list of things that can make you famous has been extended to making fancy cakes for people to eat on television, it emerged this morning. With entertainment television show âThe Great British Bake Offâ concluding last night with a winner in 60 year-old grandmotherÂ Nancy Birtwhistle, many experts have predicted fame will soon be available to all. Entertainment consultant Derek Matthews told us, âWhat we are seeing is the elevation of what are essentially domestic chores into valuable television commodities.â âI know, it sounded ridiculous when I say it like that. My only surprise is that Simon Cowell didnât think of it first.â Television owner Simon Williams told us, âMy missus could win The Great British Iron off, definitely. And I donât see why that particular domestic chore is any less worthy of fame than cooking?â âWhat next? Britainâs Best toilet scrubber, where a selection of celebrity cleaners take it in turns to eat their dinners off a toilet seat cleaned by a contestant?â Amateur cooks around the country have said they wouldnât mind becoming famous for something they already have to do at home anyway. Housewife Diedre Smith told us, âIâm OK at cooking I guess, but is washing up a thing yet? Please let me know when it is.â âI do this two-handed thing with a tea-towel that Iâm sure the viewers will love.â
