Oh god there was a SoCal Misty I knew in Spain. Fucking hell, a walking stereotype. Her (millionaire property developer, but thick as a brick)dad came over with a load of joints that he managed to lose in the airport toilets on arrival. Nice but irritatingly stupid as fuck, that family. All jimmy Buffett fans.

The answer is Bake Off, with it's chintzy, straight-backed, Cath Kidston fascism. The Daily Mail and Cotswolds Life of TV programmes. Cakes, afternoon tea, the Empire, bunting, ethnic minorities slaving away to make bread for well-spoken white people before being told they aren't good enough. I'll also accept Masterchef, which, I think, is pretty much the same programme without being so obviously fash.
Blue Peter was always a good indicator of class at school. I thought it was boring shite. For loads of kids it was all they were allowed to watch. "Make Tracy Island out of left-over Waitrose cereal boxes and Observer colour supp papier mache..." How about we go outside, throw rocks at pigeons, and just pretend we did, you nauseatingly cheerful, dungaree wearing, trampolining, genericly-faced cunt. And you've got a Blue Peter badge have you? Because you sent a Christmas Card in made out of Fuzzy Felts and you did a bring and buy sale for Africa with all your old toys you don't need any more because you've got loads of new ones? How very nice for you. Now give me your dinner money you little swot, and I'll be taking those Ewoks off you come toy day.Last edited by EIM; 26-09-2018, 11:46.

- Those chocolate-coated ring-shaped ones you get at Christmas
That reminds me - a colleague brought in some biscuits the other week called Navettes de Provence.
Apparently they are shaped like a boat (a navette, in fact) but they looked rather more anatomical than that to me.

Bunty James was 2, Fred Dinenage 6, and Jon Miller was the butler.
