Yesterday a woman returned to the counter to say how much she’d enjoyed her lemon drizzle cake.
I thanked her and told her it was Mary Berry’s traybake recipe.
She frowned: “I don’t like her,” she said.
The lady buying a pair of earrings at the time looked as surprised as I did. Another who was sitting nearby raised her eyebrows. I told her I’d never met anyone who doesn’t like “queen” Mary.
“I’m more of a Marguerite Patten girl,” she added, “but I suppose that’s showing my age.”
