Stop press
I thought I ought to share a tit-bit from one of our free local newspapers, probably the 'Epsom Guardian'. It seems that a Surrey housewife has been honoured for her contribution to the world of Jamie Oliver parties. These, it seems, are organised and run in much the same way as Tupperware parties. The Surrey housewife is a star in this world. Having felt honoured by being allowed to work in the great Oliver world, she was now overwhelmed by being allowed to meet the great man himself.
Celebrity chefs are up there on my pedestal of hate along with television personalities (that is to say people whose only talent is either to be bright and bubbly on screen or to be appropriately solemn when reading off the teleprompter), but this really takes the biscuit. Has the man no pride at all?
