GBBO.

This week we watched the final of The Great British Bakeoff. I’m always amazed that anyone should apply for the competition – working at great speed on recipes that are often unknown, under the gaze of Paul Hollywood – why? Personal satisfaction of course and a huge sense of achievement . Keeping the results a secret is tough too, but why do people feel it’s ok to question the judges decisions? Social media is to blame of course because anyone can voice their opinion anonymously, leading to the nastiest of comments and criticisms. We were brought up to understand that the judges decision is final. Whilst we might think we know the criteria, we aren’t in the tent with them. Let’s enjoy the programme and be happy for the winner of a cake stand and a bunch of flowers!
