TIMELESS chef Mary Berry says what she won’t miss about The Great British Bake Off is contestants’ tears, and she’s probably right.
We are now a nation of criers. Everything from a soggy-bottomed cake to losing a darts’ match can prompt the waterworks, whether you’re male or female.
We appear to have breached an emotional dam where it’s fine to cry as part of your range of reactions. Where once we were simply stoic now we’re completely wet.
It may be time to return to holding back the tears, taking a deep breath - and just getting on with life
