I don't see "proud of you" as much as I see "What do you mean try something new you already did this with ME, ME did you hear me? ME Marcus, Jack MONROE, literal food expert who taught you how to make meatballs that time. TELL THEM YOU REMEMBERRRRR!"

I always find people who are seen as peers saying I'm proud of you as a bit condescending. For me it's something that a parent would say to a young child after a big accomplishment, someone who is seen as within the same age brackets it just sounds like they are stating you did good but I'm still bettter. I always say well done or good for you if my friends so well. I feel it's less condescending.

Absolutely 100% agree, you took the words right out my mouth. Someone saying that they are proud of you, who isn't an elderly relative or a mentor (and even then it's questionable), are over confidently and not-so-subtly condemning you as inferior.

I have some friends who have done extraordinary things - really great accomplishments. I usually say I’m very proud to know them and be their friend but being proud of them is patronising, I have had nothing to do with their successes.

Lol at her dispensing patronising wisdom to Marcus like she's got three Mission Inn Stars. She's devoted more time to running on about Pot Noodles and crisps than food she's cooked herself. Supercilious smol baggage.

Mr F there all up in Jack’s niche sending me a picture of something he found in his garden asking if it is wild garlic.

She didn’t actually win the Groucho Club maverick award - she was only nominated. So she’d have had to foot her Groucho bills herself. (Or her wealthy partner would’ve).

If she had membership, you would have to prise her out, and she would be like a stuck record 🙄 Groucho this, Groucho that.
