TOMORROW is Father's Day an it seems that this commercially manufactured feel good day is getting bigger and bigger every year. Shops trip over themselves to take advantage of the day and there have been countless press releases landing on this desk promoting all manner of suitable gifts.
Showing that they aren't as evolved as you might think, Marks & Spencer suggest that you "spoil dad rotten with his own special cake". There are two macho confections on offer The Workbench Cake and the Soft Iced Madeira Football Cake "with a charming tableau of iced football boots and a football". Does this mean that next Mother's Day the retailing giant will produce a Kitchen Sink Cake and or a Sewing Sponge?
