"The Great British Bake Off symbolises everything cosy and chummy and ironically retro and almost certainly evil about current middle-class t**ttery. Loads of things are a bit Bake Off. Cupcakes, obviously, are a bit Bake Off. Bunting is a bit Bake Off. Furniture painted cream is a bit Bake Off. Union Jack cushions are a bit Bake Off. Giant clocks hanging on kitchen walls are a bit Bake Off. John Lewis is a bit Bake Off. People singing in the style of 40s girl groups are a bit Bake Off. Festivals are a bit Bake Off. Somehow Andy Murray winning Wimbledon became a bit Bake Off, just because it was on the BBC, which is very Bake Off indeed. I'm writing this in the Guardian, which is incredibly Bake Off, which means I must be pretty f**king Bake Off myself, which is probably why I watched The Great British Bake Off, week after week after week. Don't judge me. It was that or the Syrian heart-eating video again."
