Why does she get more publicity / exposure, and products to promote, than other reality show winners, let alone Bake Off winners? Watching her on Jonathan Ross tonight, he and his audience roared with laughter at everything she said as if she was a top comedienne, yet I can’t see anything particularly interesting or amusing about her....though her anecdote about having a knife in her hand when she met The Queen was quite shocking. Her dress code is no longer as strict as when she won GBBO

[Islay]

Really?
OK!

[naomi24]

Really. Care to explain?

[NoMercy]

Naomi, you are being likended to KKK.

Another suspension is just around the corner, methinks...

[Islay]

Nomercy please don't try and read something into it that is not there.
I know you have an issue with me but trying to get me banned is low even for you.
As Naomi knows damn well if I wanted to call her racist I would.
Put your claws away and toddle off now!

[naomi24]

Oh eally? How silly! I wonder what brought that on?

[naomi24]

^*really*

What did you mean then, Islay?

[-Talbot-]

Wow.

[NoMercy]

Islay, you need no assistance from me in finding your way to the naughty step.

But I shall do as you say and toddle along now. I'll pretend the real reason I'm going is to go shopping to buy lots of seriously cute baby clothes.

You have a really special day x x x

Back on topic ... I have never watched GBBO but I caught a couple of Nadiya's cooker shows and quite enjoyed them.

Back to the popcorn.

[Voltage]

nasty!

What is a Bake Off? Is it like cakes?

I'd be very interested to know what Islay meant about a white sheet too, why evade the question Islay ??

[douglas9401]

It's an Northern Irish custom, the reason for which is lost in the mists of time but some say it commemorates the introduction of soap to the six counties.

Nothing to get cross, burning or otherwise, about. Just a perfectly innocent remark.

I'm sure. :-)

I didn't watch her on JR but really enjoyed her cookery show which had a couple of humorous bits in. I bought one of her books and tried a couple of recipes. They were very tasty.

I enjoyed her 'Chronicles' and the 'British Food Adventure' - The Family showdown was not a great hit with me.
